Floodlights idea is good, but not to brazen kids. It`ll help them see better. lol
I was thinking of those really loud alarms that just detach from itself to go off. The battery operated ones. Tape it to the gate and when they open it at 1 AM it wakes EVERYBODY up. I want the whole neighborhood to know what`s going on. I should actually keep the siren sounding untill the cops come AND THEN TELL THEM WHY IT`S SOUNDING. After a few weeks of this I think the problem will somehow be rectified.
They had 2 German Shepherds and they died not too long ago. Come to think of it, This problem did`nt exist untill then. lol
They had the dogs for about 14 years.
