Ball in my garden and the rest
We have lived in our house for nearly 4 years, lots of the local kids (unpleasant types) play football in front of a bank of garages that back onto our garden, many times the ball comes flying over (upto ten times a day). Most of them just climb over the garages down our fence and retrive the ball the more polite ones knock and ask, last year we had beer bottles, stones, lumps of concrete, a 4ft fence post, a football sized piece of wound up wire and even an empty full sized fire extinguisher thrown into the garden, i have three small children who will be on the recieving end one day. We have had 2 garden gnomes broken and an ornamental bird bath stolen, my gaden is very secure and is only accessable via a locked gate. I have informed the police on many occasions but just get fobbed off with the usual keep a record get some i.ds, never once has one called to investigate. I have done nothing to provoke these kids. My question is what more can i do and how does the law stand as regards balls in gardens?

Could you speak to the parents? It would be very difficult for the police to deal with, as it could be different children at different times causing the problems.
Are your neighbours having the same trouble? Who owns the garages? Would they be able to make it impossible for children to access the garage roofs? (rooves?)
