For the fourth time in two months I've had the back window of my Corolla broken by vanadals. Someone is out to get me and it's not quite driving me balmy, but it certainlty is winding me up. So it's time for me to become the hunter and no longer the victim.

Some ghetto kids who live in the next street over had a lot of, well, ghetto body language coming off them when they saw me yesterday, and I do suspect it's them. But who knows.

Usually I do stake-outs, with considerable success in these situations but they tend to strike when there is a vicious storm blowing so people don't hear the noise. And I don't want to sit around half the night on the off chance they will strike.

I'm thinking of some sort of camera system. Something with high resolution pics so it can go to court (or bush court). Maybe a hunting camera hidden inside the car that takes pics of close up movements. The car is either parked on the street or just off the street, so I can't avoid the whole situation by parking it in a more secure area. Another idea is camera system that takes pics and writes back to a laptop, but I don't know too much about these and don't want 10,000 pics of cars and pedestrians.

Any ideas guys?
