You could fix one to a bit of board you can park a wheel on, but it'd be tricky to do that at both ends

Problem is there's always one or two characters around here that just break, snap, take, for the sake of it.  We and other neighbours have annoying things happen, like wingmirrors ripped off, wipers bent, etc. So I am trying to make things as unnoticeable as possible.  Maybe a motorised arm with LEDs that pops up hidden inside something like this and drops when no current present: https://www.thelittl...stin-mini.html  That'll really flash through their back windows then.

 

I think there's a little market for this kind of thing, as modern cars get ridiculously bloated and oversized.  Problem is, if this was based on a sensor alone (car getting close, but not actually making contact), people will be densensitised to it and just push back anyway.  So I really only want it to happen when actual contact is made.

Fit a paintball gun front and rear, triggered by your bars. So whenever someone touches your mini, they get covered in paint blobs

Haha!  I did actually think of this, removing the part that makes the noise!  I don't want to wire it to the horn incase the switch jams.  That'd annoy the neighbours.  I might still do the temporary squeek sound though.  Maybe they'll stop thinking the ran over a cat.
