What's buzzing through your mind right now?

I'm wondering about Bozo next door. He has a new toy - a drone. 🙄 Just what we need around here - him spying on the neighborhood. He's already got at least two cameras on his property, maybe three. I don't mind the one on his garage that faces the alley.

I'm not happy with the one he has on the back of his house. It's aimed at the area between his garage and mine. I'm not comfortable with the idea that he can see me coming and going whenever. He used to have it aimed at the rear service door to his garage on the other side of his yard, which made sense and also didn't intrude on the property of his neighbors. But then he built a storage shed (still unfinished after two years) and he can no longer see that entrance with the camera, so he switched it to where it is now. 🙄

Never been a drone fan. Don't hate them, and not out of touch or anything, but they've never really appealed to me.

I wouldn't care about being on camera though -- doesn't bother me. In fact I kind of like the idea of acting so getting as comfortable and feeling as natural as possible in the presence of cameras is something I should work towards, right?

But one thing more worrisome about drones: them crashing or flying in to you/your house/etc.

I guess I'm just uncomfortable about this particular neighbor having one. He's one who doesn't care about others or how his behavior affects his those around him.

I've seen some great drone footage, and often there's a purpose for using one, but in his case? No. Just a way to annoy those around him.

A .177 caliber pellet gun will do the trick if he's spying on people

Fairly quiet, the Beemans and Crosmans are both accurate brands
Buy the pump action, simple looking ones, they are the best
The tricked out models are garbage

Black Hawk Down👍

Or get a big male friend to beat the hell out of him...that drone would get some laughs stuffed in his mouth!

Mr Neighbor has a firearm for discouraging the squirrels that frequent our yards. I wonder...

Discharging a firearm into the air in a suburban area is too risky...that slug is going to land somewhere
No Go

.177 hunting pellet is the way to go or just have a husky male friend go tell the weirdo to piss off with his weird spy cam drones
A beating has been known to solve a problem or two in the in the past as well
Do you have a big nephew or someone?

My husky nephew lives elsewhere. Mr Neighbor is away for the weekend so this drone thing will have to wait. He has a setup for discouraging the squirrels that have already ransacked the corn plants in his garden. He's well aware of what's beyond his target location and has taken precautions so that nothing goes astray.

See, that’s why I disguise and hide my surveillance cameras. All 47 of them.
