  • Someone keeps lobbing chewing gum in our garden
  • Pook
    Full Member

    Over the last couple of months, we’ve started seeing chewing gum appear in our yard as if someone is throwing it from somewhere.
    Our house backs on to about four others who could realistically reliably lob chuddy into the same spot. The others we can see would be too far away to hit the same spot accurately.
    Two questions 1) How can we find out who’s doing it? 2) What can we do to them once we know?

    It’s grim.

    Sorry 😳

    But seriously;
    1 – cctv
    2 – make them eat it, all of it.

    how much do you find ? seriously, I’d just pick it up and put it in the bin, like every other piece of rubbish that finds it’s way into my garden.
    Lifes way to short to worry about stuff like this.

    You can get some gum that’s been chewed by lions.
    Try that.

    Alternatively, have you tried shooting the chewing gum with an air rifle?

    taxi – so would I. But when i take the bin out in the dark and get it stuck to my shoes, and then have to spend time picking it out, it’s a little mroe annoying.

    How much are we finding? Today? Three lumps.

    50 calibre Machine gun/infared trigger.

    On a less serious note your next door neighbour has a 15yr old daughter

    Even if you found the culprit and took them to court, the charges wouldn’t stick.

    Is there any flavour left in it?

    Even if you catch the culprit, they’ll just wrigley out of it.

    Pick it up. Chew it. Knock on doors and forceably taste every member of the houses mouths. The 50cal gun will help here.

    Any of your neighbours stand outside and smoke? Probably finish the cig then spit and kick.

    DNA testing kit, then get samples from possible guilty neighbours (I’ll let you work out how.)

    ^^^This^^^

    Roll up all the chuddy in to a huge bowling ball and gather up all the cats in your area and align them in to set of ‘pins’.

    Bowl the ball of chuddy in to said felines until they learn not to throw chuddy in your garden.

    This happened to me, it is **** annoying. I varied my routine a bit to try and work out when it was appearing. This showed it was after 11pm but before 7am. Started to take the dog out / rubbish out at different times and by chance was there when a bit came over. It only happened on week days so I reckoned it was someone going to work. I ran out the gate so I could see the path and caught the ‘f**ker’. Told him I knew where he lived and if he didn’t stop I would throw unbagged dog shit on to his patio. Problem solved. I did actually know where he lived and I know his parents. The advantage of a small village.

    Which of your neighbours have teenage kids ?

    Get a dog, not because a dog will keep guard but because dogs are loveable and it will take your mind off this.

    The thing is, it’s round the back – not on the road. It’s got to be one of our neighbours.
