i'm not going to fight with them, everyone's edgy with being quarantined and simple traffic incidents are turning into fist fights and stabbings around here. but i see your point, in the grand scheme of things. im just scared of stab stab and there's like literally 24 guys there, i'm outnumbered my wife is a piss poor ninja
Its not a fight if you shoot them all dead, but don't do that! Just call the police on them. Do they have a dog that runs freely? If so make a bottle of poison ivy solution and spray the dog down. Also add in some laxative for good measure.

You know that could be fun, rig a cheap MP3 player on a megaphone and drop it on their roof or in one of their trees with a drone.


A vibration speaker could be fun too, hidden in the right place.


We have two outdoor rugged trunks right against their fence.. A third with a hidden..... Tell me more about these vibration speakers? What sort of wattage/size would I need to overpower what sounds like two 12 inch car woofers ghetto rigged to a home stereo. as much as i try i haven't been able to eye the actual gear. i'm curious myself, i wouldn't vandalize or enter property illegally but if there's an open bluetooth to interrupt or if i knew the corner and oppps my damn hose over sprayed again! gotta fix that! just kidding, vandalism bad... i know, i know...

Technically you can make your own using wire and some magnets. So you could experiment to try to get one very loud. I was fooling around with a DC motor a while back and it sorta acts as a vibration speaker though it's not that loud.

You could perhaps make a car panel vibrate pretty loudly with a big enough amp and enough coil turns and no one will be able to tell where it's coming from except for "the car". If you're doing it for something you'll leave for long you'll probably want to get the ohm rating close to what the amp is made for.

You would need to experiment with what part of the car will be louder. The hood itself might be a good place to start.
