funnyent Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 This is my 1st year with LOR and I'm upset now. I came home today and find my LOR box unplugged, and my outdoor speaker over sideways with 3 cuts in the line! I'm 16 and spent my own money on this, which annoys me a lot. Tonight I added two bright spotlights that will turn on when the show turns off.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csimmon5 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hate to hear it...some people just have know respect. I constantly worry about vandals. Hopefully the lights you added will deter further vandalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Batzdorf Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 That's too bad. I too are concerned about vandals. I have installed temp motion spots over the yard areas and cameras. Not sure if i would be able to tell who it was, but it would tell me when. Chin up dude and carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saynomoore Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Are your neighbors ok with your display and your music playing at night? maybe someone was trying to send you a message. You would hope they would just come over and talk to you, but some people are just to childish, you hang in there at least they didn't take you equipment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Manzara Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Vandalism is not my problem I am dealing with the City regarding the snow plow operators. They purposely pushed extra snow onto my lawn to bury my mini trees. As far as vandals go we have over 3 feet of snow which virtually makes it impossible to get at any controllers, speakers, wiring or elements in my display Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hawke Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Tim, go talk to all of your neighbors and tell them what happened. It's probably someone real close that did it and some part of your show is irritating them . They won't know that you don't know who it is but I bet it won't happen again. Ask them to keep an eye out for your stuff.Mike, I think the Grinch is driving the snowplow! Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Don Gillespie Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I know what you are going through it really is irratating and you also loose some sleep in the meantime, chin up could be a jealus neighbor that a sixteen years display is better than theirs the lights are a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnyent Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Thanks for all the responses, I talked to my neighbors, and they said they couldn't hear the music is their houses. So I don't know who it was. I got 4 impacted wisdom teeth out yesterday, so i was in bed allday,but I watched about 20 cars come by last night. It's cool that traffic is picking up!Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott T Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Design sequences that floats your lights. (ei: slow fades up and down) Then leave them on all night. It may cost your parents a little more money in the electric bill, but it's a whole lot less than your time, lights or controller.I leave my on until 7:00am.

garyfunk Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Dang, I was with you till the end. My wife has taken over every closet so I don't have one with enough room for me to hide in. Can you offer some alternate place I might hide?I have considered ordering a couple of these units for just such reasons.http://www.fnherstal.com/?id=658 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Thursday's rain turning the snow to slush at the ground level and then freezing solid, I'd say there's zero chance I'm going to lose anything on the ground until spring at the earliest - either from rabbits or humans.
