    How about a pair of Tonfa (Night Sticks)? You think the cops would have a problem with that?? :-D Kyosa Jamie Nordmeyer - Cho Dan Portland, Oregon, USA

      if it happens on a regular basis call the cops. It is disturbing the peace issue and they will handle it. It won't be easy if it doesn't happen on a regular basis though as i think they need to catch them doing it. We had some cornhole blowing off his horn and sometimes call alarm in our old apt complex and the cops came after a short phone call and fixed the problem. Good luck.

      I had the self same problem one time. A guy would come EVERY morning to pick his buddy up at the appartment complex where I was living at the time. He'd roll his pick-up right up to the front door of the building and hang on the horn until his friend appeared. As this was usually around 5:30 - 6:00 am it was more than a bit annoying. Fortunately (or not), I lived right above the door on the 4th floor. As such, one morning I was ready with a full gallon can of paint. I took the lid off and dropped it out the window. I didn't stay to look, but I heard the noise (and the screams!) when it hit. Undoubtedly, it left a dent and a whole hell of a mess. The guy stopped parking there - he still hung on the horn, but somehow it lost it's annoyance after that!

            Would somebody please explain to me why it's SOOOOOO difficult for some people to just get out of their car, walk up to a door, and knock? I was woke up this morning by some complete a**hole, honking his horn over and over again, trying to get somebodys attention. Short of slashing their tires or some other activity that might result in ME being punished, and not them, what do you do about inconsiderate pricks like this? :mad::mad::mad::mad: I'm in a quandry.

            Where I live, you can sue for damages (i.e. loss of sleeep) in cases like this. It was put on the books for barking dogs but I would guess it would apply to horns as well. Grab a camcorder and record a few days worth and stop by the police station with tape in hand to file a report. Be sure to grab the license plate. I bet the horn blowing won't last much past that! :laugh: Todd

              I hear that here in Oregon there is a 70 month sentence attached to such activities.

                  Use a real gun, with real bullets. If you're feeling generous, give one warning shot, no more than 6 inches (or 10 cm.) to either side of the driver's headrest. Allowing this kind of poor manners to persist is a disservice to humanity.
