Driving home from picking up dinner for the family... see a cream colored Mini Cooper sitting in the bottom of my driveway, lights off. I pull up to it, roll my windows down. High school kids, boy and girl. I motioned them to roll their windows down and asked,

"Hey, can I help ya?"

"Uhh, no?"

"So, do you know this is private property?"

"No."

"Well, I'd appreciate it if you didn't smoke pot on my property."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I appreciate you telling us."

"Yeah, no problem. Remember that if I see ya here again, I WILL call the cops on ya."

Justice is served! Hate the shit out of people who make U-Turns in my driveway.

I would have pulled in got inside my house, grabbed my 1911 and came back out and tapped on their window with it.

I'm... guilty of doing that before... but I was lost and didn't know where to go. I don't mind it cause usually it is someone who is lost or looking for a place.

Another thing I could've done, especially cause my car is large... is just box them in and call the cops. They'd have NOWHERE to go cause the road is hilly and there are ditches to the right and left.

On a scale from "friend with pothead parents' basement" to "front of the police department," I'd think "random driveway" would be a pretty terrible option to blaze up, but I guess the whippersnappers these days thought otherwise.

Many years ago, I was sitting in the mall parking lot with my brother, smoking a joint. A guy walked past and said, "Smells good. Better watch out for The Man." My brother said, "Good thing you're not him." The guy said, "You never know."

I think ya did the right thing.

Heh thanks. I don't care that they're smoking pot; I don't want them doing it on *MY* property.

When my kids were younger I noticed a car parked in front of our house with one person in the driver's seat. After observing him being parked there for longer than required for any legal activities, I called the cops on him. I was home alone with the kids, wasn't going to confront whoever it was. Cops showed up, talked to the guy, then he drives across the street up the way a bit and parked again. Cop calls me on his cell, tells me the guy in the car was a PI and is waiting for someone to come home.... but he hadn't contacted the police as is standard procedure when they decide to loiter on the street in front of someone's house. Cop gave him a warning, told him to not freak people out.

Yeah, my dad and I went somewhere a while ago together and we busted some kids fucking in their car in our driveway. I was driving; chased them down so I got their license plate. Dad took care of the phone call >:D

Geeze sorry, next time I go time traveling and end up in the long island area I'll be sure to call you.

Nice. Had I ever had sex in a car, I wouldn't have chosen somebody's driveway...

Well hell, there are WAY better places for that, and most of them are not in a Mini Cooper.

But in all seriousness if I ever end up in New York we need to hang out and do reverse donuts in the prius!

I've probably done it also. It's somewhat annoying though, especially with a visible no trespassing sign.

04/18/2014 at 21:11

Eh, you can do it. Though I do agree. However these are high school students we're talking about.

Number one perk of dating someone with a Bronco in high school, right there.

LOOOOOOOOOOL

Hopefully it is sold by then. We're planning on selling it soon.

My friend's family has a farm in southern Virginia where he's been going since he was young. One night, a young couple pulled up their private drive, no doubt thinking there was nobody on the property. Now I should mention that this family is quintessential country folk. They have shot, killed, gutted and turned into jerky more deer than I care to guess. So instead of calling the cops on these would be lovers, his brother calmly walked out of the woods, stood right next to the truck, and pumped his shotgun with one hand, Terminator-style

Needless to say, they didn't stick around to see what he would do next.

This has happened before; some other kids came over the summer on my driveway. I happened to be outside and they didn't see me... so I just shouted "HELLOOOOOOOOO KIDDIES I CAN SEE YOU!" They ran away

That would scare me so much! Random people sitting in front of my driveway. I'd call the cops right away. It is very unusual for stuff like that to happen in my development. Does it happen often to you?

Psh, one of my high school boyfriends had a van (for hauling around guitars, amps, etc), another had an old 4Runner, and another had a Bronco. Guess I'm just spoiled.

We live in a nice town, but this does happen every few months. The local police know about it but they haven't done much.

Mostly all the people who do it are high school kids.

Weird. I must have always lived too far away from schools...

Obligatory. ..." and it's up against the wall redneck mother. Mother who has raised her son so well. He's 34 (or 31) and drinking in the honky tonks, just kicking hippies asses and raisin' hell... He sure does love to drink that Falstaff beer..." The first minute gives you the point. Love ya, Nibby. Everybody gets a jab once in a while.

Same thing happened to me except all I did was stare. They never saw me or my camera, and it was dark outside.

I end up with kids in the back corner of my shop's parking lot somewhat regularly..My favorite way to run them off is to sneak out into the brush either in front of behind their car with a camera flash unit and pop it once or twice. It's always great fun seeing what they decide to do next when they think they've just had their picture taken. One time some kids tried to leave so fast they cut a corner speeding away and high centered on a curb. I think they were afraid to get out of the car because they sat there for almost 10 minutes in complete silence.
