"Police said some residents have woken up to find youngsters using their pools. Others have come home from work to find their pools full of beer cans.
Those involved in the "dipping" sessions often wear fancy dress costumes, and are told to "bring a bike" so they can make a quick escape."
I think it's kind of funny. It's amazing the things kids come up with!

I'd rather have teenagers having sex in my back yard than getting drunk and using the pool although both happened when I went on vacation last year and the neighbor kid I had walking my dogs decided to take advantage of the situation.
He doesn't walk the dogs anymore.

One big problem is liability. If one of them gets hurt the lawsuits will fly.
Trashing somebody else's property is also not a joke.
Even when I was young and foolish I had respect for others property. If we used it my friends and I cleaned up after ourselves.

Yeah, basically. I think you can get them but its very difficult. Its still a good way to get the crap beat out of you... but, if your lucky, you can time it for when everyone is at the local pub!
BTW, am I the only one noticing that the Propeller front page hasn't updated yet? I notice that some of the stories have been up there for a day and a half or so.

Hope they don't jump in a pool that has been shocked. Could end up badly for them.
Personally I never had to jump in a pool. We had lakes and streams. Better when you are with that special girl and want to skinny dip. LOL
Beside that my dad would have beat the hell out of me for disrespecting another persons private property.

Wasn't there a movie about a guy swimming across Los Angles or Beverley Hill in backyard pools? Yeah, my friends and I used to sneak into pools at night. We never got caught but if we had there would have been big trouble from our parents. lol
