Here's a situation: For four out of the past eight Friday nights (every one when it wasn't raining or otherwise too vile to be out and about), somebody has been pelting the front of my house with raw eggs. It's always Friday, always between 21:00 and 22:00, always two eggs. And it's getting old. Really old. The village where I live has no police force; the county and state cops have bigger fish to catch on Friday nights.
This past Friday my wife happened to be looking out the front window and caught a glimpse of the perp winging an egg. Not a good enough glimpse for an ID, but enought to know it's a teenager using as cover the deep shadows in the yard across the street. Having thought of and dismissed many solutions that involve physical violence, since they won't let me use my Pentax gear in jail (assuming it hadn't already been sold off to pay fines and costs), I'm wondering if there's a photographic solution. I've got an LX, a 300/4, an AF400T, and an AF2T flash extender. The distance from the observed launch point to a hiding spot behind my front hedge is about 120 feet. Have I got the ingredients for a photo ID I can take to the local juvenile authorities? Hints, tips, advice, and/or "creative solutions" ;-) will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Stephen
