Quoth FuzzyKitten99 View PostThe other guy didn't have a boat or anything large enough to spare... so, what did he come up with? Home-made spike strips! The cops gave him permission to do it too!
He took some old wood boards and hammered several large nails in them, spraypainted the whole things bright red, and anchored them into the ground using corkscrew anchors.
It was nice of him/a shame that he painted the setup red and not green.Unseen but seeing

Hell I lived through the Kennedy, Stevenson, Ryan, Tri-State, I-55 (st. louis to chicago redo back about 25 years aro) I-290, I-80, I-88, ETC. construction/destruction projects and the funny thing is IS THAT THEY ARE ARE ALL STILL BEING WORKED ON CONTINUIOUSLY!!!!!!Answers are easy...it is asking the right questions which is hard.

I'd like to see one of these morons tires get the shred treatment, then the driver get out and start screaming about the damage, at which point the property owner calls the cops because, ".....some guy just recklessly drove up into my yard, then got out and started screaming threats to me."
Then, the idiot gets his ass hauled to jail!

Quoth gregmaddux17 View PostDo you live on a corner?
One time when my mailbox was hit the woman dragged it, along with the mail still inside, down in the ditch. We had to dig the box out from under her car so I could get my mail.
I used to have 'reflectors-on-a-stick' at the end of my driveway that were always getting run over. I got tired of replacing them so I bought two 8' landscape timbers, put reflectors on them and buried them half-way into the ground surrounded by cement. That way when some idiot hit them, they'd know it.
I'm just evil that way.Last edited by Retail Associate; 09-07-2007, 05:52 AM.Retail Haiku:

Quoth Geek King View PostHe then set the whole thing on a brand-new iron-pipe post, also concrete filled. One dent and a slightly leaning post later, he hasn't had any problems with it in years.A fact of life: After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says W T F.....

We had a similar problem with out BRIGHTLY COLOURED posts out front of our shop - wood with yellow and red tape on them. About every two weeks we'd have to get one shorted a little because someone would cheerfully break it off with their bumper.
We changed to metal ones and after three dented wings and busted bumpers, no more trouble.

The link is for some automatic bollards in Manchester (the original one in the UK with loads of rain) which are set to retract for official vehicles (post office vans and buses etc). You can see the consequences.
