RUBBISH ARSEHOLES UPDATE! I went out to test something on the hot rod and discovered this rubbish bag from the phantom rubbish dumping arsehole down the end of my drive by the road. Not out front of the house. It seems (2nd pic) camera is enough to stop them dumping at my door.
And cameras setup. Motion sense zone defined. Annoyingly while I was out getting masonry bits the bastards struck again and dumped another bag. All takeout stuff, nothing with an address on it. So prob be a few days before the next dump and we capture some people in the act.

Wow. The process for setting up a Ring camera is surprisingly hellish. From within the app it asks you to allow it access to camera to scan the tiny QR code. The Ring app trying to scan the QR code:
I may have mentioned this before but when my (mostly) benevolent reign comes to pass, littering will be punishable by a life sentence of hard labour.
And so the phantom dickheads are dumping their rubbish out front of my house again. In daylight now. Was out front an hour before this and it wasn't there. The cameras with spotlights day/night motion sense recording and floodlights go up this weekend. *sigh* Why are some people such swine?
As if appearing from another dimension, signore Lucifero materialises and asks "is that the BBQ you're lighting?" #Cats
Hive mind. Solutions to unknown people dumping their rubbish bags out front of you house in the middle of the night? I considered the 'sit in a tree with a bottle of whiskey and a shotgun' approach but apparently this is problematic, legally speaking. Thoughts on how to stop this?
It was great! Thanks for putting it on. Can't wait for November.

His snoozing positions manage to make him look like a collection of cat parts, assembled incorrectly. #Cats
