My friend lives on a busy street and has been putting signs against the war in his yard for 6 years now. Since August, someone has been throwing trash in his yard every day. So he followed the guy and turns out he is a vice principal at a high school. I posted about it here and got a lot of great suggestions about how to handle it.

Well here is what my friend finally decided to do:



The sign has been up for a week and the trash is no longer being thrown in his yard.

He also got some press coverage.

Turns out, someone had a beef with Quinly’s outspoken politics. Since he erected those signs, he’s been under assault from a fast-food junkie. Every morning, the activist alleges, someone chucks the garbage from their McDonald's breakfast onto his front lawn.

At first, the longtime activist collected the debris each morning. Then, he let the trash pile up to show his disregard for the vandal. But that irked Quinly’s neighbor, so again he started collecting the Golden Arches garbage. Not to be defeated, he examined the bags for clues. The receipt showed the disgruntled commuter purchased his morning grub at the restaurant at 130th Street and State Line Road around 5:30 a.m. Then the McMuffin-muncher switched over to 119th Street and Roe.

One morning earlier this month, Quinly staked out his front drive and finally spotted the politically motivated litterbug. The man in question was driving a black GMC pickup truck. Fed up with the greasy onslaught, Quinly hopped in his car and followed his suspect until it pulled into the parking lot of Wyandotte High School. Armed with the man’s license plate number, Quinly attempted to track down the driver’s name; what he got: Robert Bayer, the school’s assistant principal.

Quinly wanted to spark some dialogue, so he decided to call Bayer out.
