Two-part epoxy from walmart in a syringe.... then you don't actually have to touch anything belonging to the pest... just snip the tip and squirt in the hole. Once it sets, it is set. I think JB Weld has some too.

Also, if you want to annoy the crap outta someone without doing damage to property, just get a valve stem tool and just loosen the stems for a slow leak.

If you squirted the epoxy from the syringe into the keyhole, how would you mix it?

I read something that sounded made up, about a guy getting revenge on his neighbor. He let some air out of one car tire, and the next night aired it back up and let some air out of a different one. He kept that up until his neighbor went in for a wheel alignment because the car just didn't handle right.

If you have access under the hood, I read that a few ball bearings down a spark plug hole is really bad for an engine. You could buy a bottle of 1,500 BBs with the easy pour spout and dump some in every cylinder. Fill 'er up with unleaded. If you want to cause frustration instead of serious property damage just pull the spark plug wires and plug them in randomly.

I think that just treating them nicely and not letting them get under your skin is the best revenge, They will stew for hours trying to figure out why you're not getting mad at them or retaliating against them, The longer they think about it the madder they get.

The stuff we used mixed in the nozzle. It was in small double syringes and as you pushed the plunger the stuff came together in a single nozzle. It was a one shot deal once you cut the tip, regardless of how much you used it was useless after that. The kind you find in most areas needs mixing, but I bet squirting it into such a tight space as a lock tumbler would mix enough to gum up the works.


What we used was similar to this but an industrial grade from a different company.

All previous kidding and jesting aside, I have found this to be true from personal experience.

Makes me think of Proverbs 25:21-22
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,
22 for you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.

There is some support for the belief that folks will suffer for the wrongs they do....if not here on earth, then to a greater degree in the afterlife.

The decent thing to do is to help those who have wronged you atone, here, while on earth rather than endure more intense suffering later.

I know it might be hard helping those who have wronged you atone, but it is the decent thing to do.

Deal with people like that every day. Have some that will call if the neighbor does not cut their grass to the height they think it should be. They call for the neighbors kids playing too loud in the yard. Had a woman complain that the neighbor was letting her dog poop in her own yard. I advised her that it was her yard and her dog could do that there. She advised me that the woman needed to take a baggie and clean it up because it was a law. I advised her that was for the park, cemetery, and sidewalks and someone else yard. I advised her that it is not illegal to let your dog poop in your own yard. She got mad and called my Chief because I looked at her like she was crazy.

I think the letter from the lawyer  worked, now all I get is dirty looks.

Well, dadgummit, I'm in touch with a legal firm myself.  I have this thing where I like to change my new car's transmission and differential fluid at 1,000 or so miles to get rid of the metal shavings, etc. from a new build.  Right or wrong, it's what I do.  Well, on my new F150 the mechanic left the bolts lose on the transmission cooler or pan.  That was Thursday and the mileage on the vehicle was 1,500 miles.

No word on Friday waiting on Ford's response the dealership said.  No word yesterday waiting on Service Manager and the Service and Parts Director the service greeter said.  The service greeter (you know, the guys up front with the "pom-poms" who greets you and fills out the paperwork) did not have an answer for me but he did mention they had ordered a new gasket for the oil pan. 

I told them I wanted a new crate transmission and my $400 for the "service" back.  I told hem we both know that transmission will never hold up like any other from the lot with 1,500 miles on it and that the "extra" service I paid for was to help ensure a long and trouble-free life which I am certain I won't get now.  He said they had not made a decision but I passed on that since they ordered new gaskets that was an answer...and unacceptable. 

So...I told the service greeter we can do it the hard way or the easy way.  He asked when I wanted a replacement vehicle while mine was being serviced...so I cut him off as the pass and told him I had plenty of cars I didn't need his loaner...but that I do need a new crate transmission.

Tab....why do they make this stuff so hard?   I suspect I'll hear from them today and they will not want to give me a new transmission.  The lawyer is ready to go.  First they get noticed not to delete electronic records they pulled from my vehicle then we schedule depositions on four people.  No way will they win a jury decision...gee....

Oh, and the Ford Sync system which I have hated for years...I hate more now with my new stereo system.  No open architecture on the Ford system so we hooked up downstream of Sync...and promptly lost Siri, the map/navigation voice, hands-free phone and the ability to play songs from the USB port.  I'll drag that one into court too because the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act says the warranty for cars cannot be voided if attachments are made "downstream" of the primary device and the device is unaffected.  My Sync was connected downstream but when we did this it is likely some piece of software started locking things out...  Only on the new 7" units....not any of the others.

Had a similar prob with Chevy, long story short, blew a spark plug  out of the head.  I watched their tech rental the threads with out pulling the motor.  You know metal shavings in cylinders is a great thing.   Truck had less then 7k miles on it.  The day they were served I got a check for the full amount for the truck+10k.

I made it very simple, replace to motor, but the truck or I will see you in court.  They did not believe  me
