"Ring doorbell and run". Remember this one?
Many months ago, some of you may remember when a few kids did this to my house, and I went down the street to find them, and told them the proper way to do it, which doesn't include, "hang out behind the bush in the persons front yard".
We'll sadly, it's caught on to a few of the other neighbor kids as well that are much older (highschool?), and now I, as well as my neighbors get this crap about once a week. It's getting rather old and tiresome. So, I decided to put my brain to work and am now putting together a device that tells me when anyone comes near the front door. As I was thinking of this today, the name of this new device suddenly popped into my head without any trouble at all. I believe this name comes from the constant angry feeling I get as I walk down the street to find these now well hidden kids... and I apologize if it offends anyone, but this new device will be called The Kid Killer.
This device will chirp away inside my house when someone even starts to approach the front door. So if I hear it go off, I'll run to the front door and and be ready to jump out as soon as they ring the doorbell.
I created a monster, and now I have to destroy it.
I'm not sure what to do when I catch them though... perhaps a 'citizens arrest'? Perhaps take their cell phone and make a long distance call to china in front of them? or perhaps give them a stern warning? I dont' know what I'll do, but it has to stop.
