Install Vandal-Proof Dome security cameras. These are the same type of security cameras used in jails. The kids can beat it with a bat, shoot a bullet at it, and it will not break. Type in the following Part number into the Yahoo search engine: VDC-D1124VA\n\nThis camera will stand up to any vandalism and will capture any events in day or night, regardless of the lightling conditions and it won't cost you too much money. Once you capture the vandalism, give a copy of the video to the local police department and one to the local newspaper. I guarentee immediate action will be taken by the police and justice will be served.

I would suggest getting a private eye.  because you may have better luck than going to the police... they cover for themselves.

It depends on your state. Try either a local gun store or the police station and they will help you. Good luck !...and remember, if u obtain a gun for home defense, most bullets are able to penetrate walls with ease thus endangering people in your house. Buy energy scattering rounds or try a shotgun with buckshot.

Make all needed repairs unless you want the house to be regarded as a fixer-upper. I'm not referring to cosmetic updates--just items in need of repair. Anything that's obviously broken gives potential buyers a reason to offer you a lower price, especially if it's one of several repair hot spots that worry buyers the most. Like the roof, mold and mildew, electrical system pipes and drainage.

Seems okay I'd blot it through some steel underneath if possible. Remember to remove it though they could cut the bolts. So hide it pretty good maybe put the bolts through some steel and put in concrete if possible ( don't know if its an option there).

It really depends on the state. For instance, the term "vandalism" only applies in the state of Georgia when someone maliciously defaces or desecrates a church, synagogue, or other place of public religious worship. It is a felony and can be punished by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than five years.\n Other damages, such as graffiti, is commonly referred to as vandalism, but it is (according to the state) either Criminal Trespass or Criminal Damage to Property. The difference is determined by the dollar amount of the damage. It is criminal trespass if the damage is said to be less than $500. It is a misdemeanor and carries a sentence of not more than 12 months. Criminal Damage has varying degrees, depending on the circumstances, and can carry a maximum sentence of either 3 years or 5 years.\n It would be best to check your local state laws. Though many states are similar, there are many differences.

Contact a lawyer. Most lawyers offer a free consultation. Have them send a letter to the company stating that when you get your personal property back, you will return their keys...actually, a good thing to do is to leave the keys with the lawyer in case they decide to damage any property and try to blame it on you since you still have access. That way you can say that you didn't have procession of the keys at the time of the "Vandalism".

Hi, I think it is time to phone the police since the building manager will not help.  Loud noise and banging on walls is a disturbance of the peace and is illegal after certain hours, usually 10pm.  After several police calls(if they still continue to be noisy), maybe the building manager will evict them.  Good Luck!

I believe in the state of Virginia you are responsible for the home being structurally sound, and all of the fixtures being functional and safe. (Electric, water, sewage, etc...) I know you would not be responsible for things such as closet organizers! As for the paint, you could benefit from them paintin! Most Va. landlords that allow painting stipulate permissable colors in the lease.

In short, you are not permitted to use excessive force to defend your property.  That being said, each jurisdiction, and even each judge, has a different idea of what "excessive force" is.  To be safe, you're better off contacting your local police department for advice.  They should be able to advice you on what could possibly be considered excessive force.\n\nIf someone actually has entered your home, you do have a right to defend your family and yourself.  You can arm yourself against an intruder, and if you feel threatened, you have a right to neutralize that threat, but only to a certain degree.\n\nThere is a big gray area around what is considered reasonable and what is considered excessive.  I would consult your local police department for advice.  They should be able to help you out in this situation.

I would ask the local police to recommend a lock smith.\nContact the manufacturer.

You'll probably be fine, but keep a trash can around just in case. :-D

Yes, there are many different lockable racks that you can bolt to the floor and or wall. That along with a good alarm system should do the job nicely.
