Kids keep pulling our hedge apart

This last week or so we've noticed parts of the hedge have got gaps and are coming away. It's not growing funny because it happened over night and there's some on our neighbours hedge too. There's a group of kids that hang about on the road outside so i'm assuming it's them. How do we go about actually stopping them though? When it happened a few years ago my dad waited behind the hedge and chucked a bucket of water over them - don't think we'll get away with that now though. I'm worried that if i confront them they'll just get worse. Has anyone else had this kind of thing and how did you stop it?

See bushes are highly comfortable to sit in when you have been out for a few beverages...
I've no idea tbh. We had a problem with kids pressing the bell and running off last year, until i chased them down road like a mad thing. Not seen 'em since
You can call the police, but without evidence there is little they can do. You could place a video camera to record what happens, but without knowing what kind of area you live in and what kind of kids they are, I dont want to tell you to confront them in case there are serious repercussions (sp?)
no it can't be because the hedge is ontop of a brick wall so you can't climb up there
Phew....:D
p.s that is not me the photo. So if it is anyones bush and they want to take action i am not guilty. Thank you
might try that - haha
Carefull as its illegal, but aslong as your quick to take it down before the police arrive and just say it must have been the bush that made all the marks, nobody will ever know :thumb:
Afterall, why shouldn't you water your hedge?
it worked last time
i'll probably get arrested now though
Where you going to get that from ?
**Joke**
Rather you than me!
But how will you get shit from a fox's backside?
Fox's like to mark their territory by shitting in places i think (correct me if i am wrong anyone), some dogs think its well classy to roll in fox shite for some reason.
Trust me it fucking wreaks and takes a good bath or two to get rid of the smell.
i'll hear it aswell
Yeah but at least the hedge would be ok :thumb:
Lol police will never ever bother. Trust me. I am very proud of my garden and we had kids tearing up our plants. We called the police and they said literally they can't / won't bother.
Best thing is just plant some roses - they've got thorns and look pretty. Or if you catch the kids give them a bloody good bollocking. (I may be biased because I've had it happen to me and I hate it)
and for the record, i used to go hedge hoping as a lad also. There are worse things they could be doing
Perhaps a good start would be learning to show other people's property a bit of respect?
