So what would you do with someone that keeps taking your newspaper?

[Coronita]

So on the weekends sometimes I get up late. And when that happens, my WSJ ends up missing…

I suspected someone living nearby ends up taking it… So I pointed the CCTVs at the driveway over the weekend just to see if that was the case…

Yup….

So……What would you do if you have possession of a video with the guy doing it, in a half serious way?

I was thinking of taking a WSJ wrapping it up in some holiday wrapping, and leaving it on the doorstep with a note attached saying “happy holidays, it’s on me this time…no really…”

Get up early in the morning, attach the package to the trigger of a Super Soaker pointed through the door mail slot via a small nylon thread?

Or just print out a copy of the video frame and put a WANTED! poster on your front stoop. He might get the hint.

Could be worse. A friend of mine had issues with a homeless guy repeatedly defecating on the front steps leading down to his cellar. Ended up having to cover the steps with a wood platform and put planters on top of it, using the rear entrance instead.

It’s not about the WSJ. I have little doubt the perp is a psychopath predator of some sort.

[spdrun]

Lots of psychopaths on Wall St, or so I’m told.

Get an prepaid VISA gift card in the tune of $12.

Create an account and entry a gift subscription of 12 weeks for $12 in his name using the gift card.

No problem for 12 weeks.
No proof its you.
Renewal notices will start almost immediately and go to him.

For added chuckles, just check yes for all co-marketing during checkout.

Need more info.
Could be a hate crime.
Could be desperate cost saving measure.
I love the wall St journal but am too cheap to buy it. But I wouldn’t steal yrs. Maybe u could save old copies for me?

Or give him a months worth in a big box kind of crumply?

Well, technically, I don’t pay. I just use about to be expiring miles on some of airlines that I rarely fly anymore to get 6 months of subscription, and do it over and over again…But still, it’s kinda annoying…Makes me want to go to a paper machine, stick a dollar in there, and empty all the copies out… just kidding…..

Get up early and take a crap in it. Fold it back up and leave it for the jerk. Actually, you should crap in the one from last week and leave it out instead.

Kind of a toss-up between NSR’s and Mike’s suggestions.

[Hobie]

Tuck your surveillance dvd in an old paper and leave it out for him to steal. If this fails, then what Mike said.

[svelte]

If he does it at the same time on a regular basis, I would take the high road and wait for him. When he walks off with it, I would confront him directly.

If he claims it was a first time, I would tell him that’s not what the video says.

I’m not sure I’d give him a copy of the video – that gives him insight into what you can and can’t see from your cameras.

If he doesn’t do it at the same time regularly, then maybe your idea of wrapping one up and leaving it on his porch saying “it’s on me this time” is a great alternative.

Take the high road.

[scaredyclassic]

I’m going to advise no confrontation. People are nuts and dangerous. I would cancel it and read it online.

[EconProf]

Don’t do anything.
I promise I’ll stop.

Tuck gay porn in old paper.
