Not a bad ass at all, I would come up with a few other names ;)

Hopefully all is okay and it does not happen anymore

So sorry to hear that. I hope it wasn't done in a mean spirit and perhaps just kids that didn't know any better. As a mother to two little boys, it was quite a task to explain that they couldn't throw rocks in the pond.

If you think back to your childhood, you see water and think, I'm gonna throw a rock in there to watch it splash.

Hoping it was it just a curious kid and not done in a mean way to damage the pond.

The trick is now how to stop this from happening again ....? If they know there is water there, they will be back.

The small white rocks were probably thrown by innocent young grandchildren of our rear neighbors from his yard. Kids will be kids. Heaven know I woulld have been in the midst of them. LOL. The plate size jaggered Oklahoma red stone and three pieces of jagged query stone, each more or less than two pounds were thrown from in our yard, front of pond. It took a teenager or God forbid an adult to throw in the larger pieces.

When I good naturedly told my already untrustworthy rear neighbor about the white pebbles he rudely, bluntly and loudly said his grandchildren did nothing. The white pebbles came from around his oak tree. The trajectory of the pebbles lined up perfectly with his yard.

Upon our first introductution a number of years ago this man introduced himslelf and his wife to us using alias names. We now know their real names but, believe it or not, was told we were to address them by the names he initally told us! They are renters originally from the 9th Ward of New Orleans. I know the philanthropist owner who let them rent the home after Hurricane Katrina for a fraction of market value. Oh, this couples occupation is taking in foster children. The Texas CPS initially denied their foster home application because they initially refused to care for white or Hispanic children.

We get along with them yet at arms length.

Hmm, sounds like some interesting neighbors! How weird, alias' ......

Here, Cayman, the Govt will not pay for Foster homes. So as to prevent people using it as an occupation. It has to be done as a true act of kindness, not something you benefit from.

Oh, I feel for ya on the neighbor thing. I have found C02 cartridges, candy bars, cement pieces and other things in my pond. What stopped it all is when they shot paint balls in our pond, on our patio and on our fence. The cops told them I would win a destruction of property case if I pressed charges on them. It all stopped.
