    Ok bit of light rain about this morning till it clears, so on PC and have CCTV monitor going beside PC screen.

    I have an immaculate thick raised deep green lawn to my property.
    Noticing people doing there morning and evening walks from other days letting there dogs dump there load on my lawn. Dogs seem to love it due to the raised lush thickness.
    Minutes ago a older F/W*t walks uphill to my house, U turns towards the end of my joint walks back to my lawn and lets his mut of the lead to dump on my lawn. Like it was pre planned.
    I wasn't dressed properly to go out and get vocal. But tomorrow morning I will be. Got a family doing similar at dusk, will be home for them tonight & ready.
    Have the highest 3mp quality resolution cameras recording this out the front, some people give me the sh*ts pardon the pun.

    Whilst on CCTV subject, has me challenging another vastly different issue.
    Another incident and great story if I could tell and only having CCTV could ever give one these hard facts. Would never think CCTV could help one in such a positive way, but can't post in public part of forum.
    Cheers Garry

    Mate set your sprinklers up to fire up when anyone or dog walks on the lawn. Problem solvered. Years ago in another role I was on Thursday Island. Every night the drunks would use the front of our office as an impromptu party house when the pub closed. They would urinate, crap, break bottles and all sorts of other things there. Was talking to our gardener one day about the issue and he said I can fix that. Put in a motion detector wired to the sprinkler system that fed the garden beds and hanging plants.

    Turn it on when we left for the day and off when we got in. Worked perfectly. Very first night me and the gardener sat inside and watched the antics. Only had to run it for a couple of weeks. Never had a problem after

    Well sometimes you just have to do a happy dance on the grumpy thread

    Had the ute checked out today, they must have found a few other minor issues that have contributed to the problem, as they are going to machine both rotors and drums at the next service at no charge. They are also going to fix the small amount of excess play in the bearings at no charge.

    So the only grumpy part of this outcome, is that I need to do another 4000km, before I can put it in for a service and have the repairs done.

    while I disagree with the death sentence ( unless for murderers, rapists & paedo's) I'm struggling with this after reading of their previous alleged deeds

    Inconsiderate human dead beats who walk past my house early morning and evening and just stop and let their crappy little dogs Shi*t on my lawn everyday.
    I have a show piece immaculate thick deep green lawn, mowed to perfection more than once a week.
    I need to get up earlier and sit on my park bench out the front and tell these so called carbon based humans to pick up their sh*t. Plus they are recorded on two zoomable HD CCTV camera is the clearest of full colour.
    Just been viewing my cameras both morning/evening for the past two days in detail.




    Edit; and don't get me going on the subject of friggin cats rooming at night viewable on all cameras
    Cheers Garry
