Get one of those mosquito alarms to deter the kids from hanging around :p

I have heard that spray grease on top of the cab works well, available in clear or black, it would be wrong for anyone to use this of course.

That sounds dangerous to me.What if the op is a rotten shot..and hits someone in the eye?

The OP says he has children of his own and so wouldn't want one of those.

Just for a moment I misread your post to mean OP + old age pensioner and had a fleeting vision of gangs of OAPs hiding behind the cabinets and firing chicken po pellets at poor unsuspecting youngsters. :D

Re: The Virgin Media cabinets in the street
 

I have one slap bang in the middle of my driveway also so i have to park one car on the road,which annoys me as ive just spent good money re-laying the driveway.The box was already there when i purchased the house 7 years ago,i have emailed and sent letters to virgin but have had no response.
I also have kids sitting on these and doing graffiti on them, but my real bug is not being able to park.Does anyone have any phone numbers i could use? Also ,paying to have them removed has also been mentioned,anyone know how much?
Thanks.

it will cost thousands to move the cab

Re: The Virgin Media cabinets in the street
 

If the cabinet was already there and it was not blocking the original driveway entrance or dropped kerb, and you have just made the opening wider to accommodate a second vehicle being able to park alongside, then I doubt you would have much of a case over getting the cabinet moved.

Re: The Virgin Media cabinets in the street
 

The cost of moving the box depends on what work needs to be done and what type of box it is :)

Re: The Virgin Media cabinets in the street
 

Kids today are generally a total pain in the backside.Whatever anyone does they seem hell bent on wrecking things and causing ppl problems.Relocating boxes aint the answer,a good old clip round the head would get rid of them.Funny how they don't congregate outside their own homes aint it!!

I can tell that you watch supernanny:rolleyes:

Re: The Virgin Media cabinets in the street
 

At the bottom of my mates street there is a VM cab. The kids have broken into it a few times.

The local community watch is now involved and when the kids are causing trouble somone phones them and the kids get moved.

Re: The Virgin Media cabinets in the street
 

My cab seems okay; kids use it as a seat and love swinging their legs against it, making as much noise as possible. Can it be replaced with one made of concrete...?

We'd be better off chaining the blighters to a desk where they could get an education and learn to be civil towards other people an dthen set em free when they're at a certain age
