I woke up today at 5 pm because I will be working a graveyard shift this weekend. Anyway, as soon as I got up and turned on my lights, my neighbor knocked on my door. He told me around noon, he witnessed two black girls in a white van drive over my front lawn, through my fence, and drive it into my backyard. He said they got out and ring my door bell. Then my neighbor went out to ask them what they were doing, they made up some story about meeting a Mr. Brown but that he was not home, so they left. They drove back over the fence and destroyed some of my landscaping (rocks, bricks, shrubs, etc). Thankfully, my neighbor got their license plate number. I'm currently waiting to hear back from the police on the matter.

My guess is that they were planning on robbing my house, thinking I was not home because my lights were not on, but my neighbor scared them off. It's possible if it weren't for him, they might have broken into my house while I was home.

Sorry, small pet peeve!  

Good luck getting these skanks.

I don't know if they can do anything at this point. Nothing was stolen.

and a good chance the plate# won't match up to the van.

I'm confused as usual.


a white van drive over my front lawn, through my fence, and drive it into my backyard.


Driving over a fence didn't strike anyone as serious...including the police???


They drove back over the fence and destroyed some of my landscaping (rocks, bricks, shrubs, etc).


Destruction of property. Why aren't the Police taking a more serious approach (not that anyone was killed).

Not trying to be rude, but are you the guy that had the same problem with people driving on his lawn and finding strange cars parked in his driveway while people inside talk on their cell phones?

Im just trying to figure out the "again" part in your title

Cop called back, filed a report. He said that the plates are registered to a Jaguar so were obviously fake. He filed the report as vandalism and so probably won't be doing anything else about it.

no, a couple months ago someone broke into my car and stole my stereo while parked at my house, and also tried to break into my shed. I also saw suspicious people hanging around across the street from my house that walked away when I got home from work, so I suspected they were casing my house.

Thats a pretty messed up story.
Hope they catch the folks that did this...at the very least they owe you some money for the fence and landscaping.

Good luck - tag for updates

Get a fence that will wreck their car if they drive to drive thru it. Problem solved.

Put carpet stripping (the stuff with the rows of spikes) under spots in your lawn.

Instant "No Vehicular Trespassing" enforcement.

If this is an ongoing thing.....  a video camera or surveilance system would work nicely.

What kind of fence is that a jersey barrier?

Carpet strips will not be enough to puncture good tires...get something more agressive!

So, whats the chance of you taking a few planks of wood, driving several long nails through them, and laying them on your yard in the appropriate places?

Tell him if you see them again you're going to kill them.  Patrols will probably be stepped up on your street.

Of course, if you know someone who can WELD...you could make these out of rebar and bury them, too.....or so I'm told....
