Vandal grease

    Found some kids trespassing today, 'taking a shortcut' over my garage and through the garden. I've also noticed a sharp increase in 'lost balls' in the garden - the burglar's favourite trick for casing the joint.

    Where can I buy some vandal grease - that paint that doesn't dry?

    Woodies and B&Q call this Anti-Climb paint. It dries like skin on custard, there's still wet stuff underneath, but you have to apply some pressure to break the skin. Climbing up a drain pipe will apply sifficient pressure to break the skin and cover the climber in goo.

    Don't forget from a legal standpoint you may be liable for injury caused...

    I assume anyone touching paint that has a 'wet paint' sign, in a place where are trespassing anyway, won't be considered injured if it gets on their hands.

    It was applied to the walls around here by the Corporation, along with a load of signs (which might as well state "This Estate Is Rough - If You Are Decent You Should Leave Now"). It seemed to be effective for a few weeks, but now the wall monkeys are as agile as ever.

    I assume they sent the less clever ones on first to soak up the paint, then carried on as normal.

    We have a lot of wall traffic here. I'd imagine on a single house though, it could work.
