HELP NEEDED: What is the nastiest, skin-staining substance known to man?
10-6-2004 | VIet-Boat-Rider

Posted on 10/06/2004 8:06:19 AM PDT by Viet-Boat-Rider

Help needed:

One of my neighbors continues to destroy my Bush yard signs. I am in search of a substance that permanently stains the skin so that I can put it on my sign.

Does anyone know what the best thing to use is?

Interesting article on the dye pack used by banks to nab bank robbers (1-methylamino-anthraquinone): "How Stuff Works"

Great Idea, until the neighbor kids walks up to your sign just to take a peek. This looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen. I don't know if booby-trap laws would apply or not, but I'd be careful:

It would be better to set camera surveillance and then report them for theft.

Poison Ivy ;-) Just rub poison ivy all over the sign.

Silver nitrate? But it can be corrosive and toxic. Better to coat it with butyric acid. This isn't dangerous, but it stinks pretty bad.

What's that stuff John Kerry put on his face last week?

The best thing to do is go to Radio Shack and pay $200 for a camera that hooks up to your computer, then position it in a window -- their camera will film endlessly and is not limited to 8 hours or so you would get with a VCR. Film the person who comes in your yard and call the cops.

OR... stay up all night hiding behind a curtain with the lights off, take a picture, and call the cops.

"Poison Ivy ;-) Just rub poison ivy all over the sign."


The sap of the giant hogweed plant causes scarring and permanent dark discoloration of the skin when exposed to sunlight.

Methylene blue. (Ask a clinical lab to supply you with a Gram stain kit).

Or ask a pharmacist for the purple stuff they used to paint throats with back in the old days.

These are dyes that won't kill your evil twin neighbor, just bust him.

That sounds even better.

Gunpowder! It makes a nice black ring around the entry hole.

I would say whatever it is they use to make those freaky looking blue guys in the Intel commercials.

You make a great point...

Any "booby trap" device that harms ANYBODY, whether they are good guys, innocent passerbys, or even the sign destroyer, WILL GET YOU ARRESTED, AND WILL GET YOU SUED.

It's just a sign folks... How much does it cost??? A couple of bucks? Lets not lose perspective... They're tearing them down BECAUSE THEY'RE LOSING AND THEY KNOW IT...

Dont sink to their level, and don't give them a chance to ruin your life, which they'd LOVE to do...

Hartz Mountain makes a dog repellent called ''Outdoor No''. Supposed to keep dogs from urinating on your landscaping. The stuff stinks to high heaven (or it did when I had some years ago.) You could try giving the area around the sign a liberal dose late in the evening...

It's really a rather dangerous invasive species.

Your exotic pets can help.

That neighbor with the pet iguana will be only too happy to provide you with the leavings from the iguana's last meal. Anyone with such an exotic pet will understand...

Getting the prick on film is the best way. I think that you have them on Criminal Mischief and destruction of private property. Call police and take him to the Pokey..

In Texas here, you can shoot someone who is committing Criminal Mischief at night, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Although hiding in the dark and putting a pellet in their butt would be tempting...
