[QUOTE="Profreedomokie, post: 3756504, member: 524"] I've been working on finishing up some chain link fence repairs. Friday, I dug out, poured, and set a new corner post. I had the post perfectly plumb with two torpedo levels. Saturday morning, I went to see how much the cement had cured. I could see the post was off while walking up to it. It was out an inch and one half at the top. I was pissed. The only thing I thought could have moved it was being hit with a basketball from the kid next door. They play right next to where I was putting the post. So, I rigged up my receiver hitch hoist I made onto my truck and pulled the post out. The post pulled up right out of the cement. So, I busted out more of the cement and reset the post. Not knowing what knocked the post out of plumb, I install one of my cameras to keep tabs on it. I checked out the post this morning and it was still good. Tonight, a little after 7:00 I got and email alert on the camera being tripped. I checked out the footage to see the kid next door walk by my post to get his basketball. When he walked back by, he grabbed the post and shook it. I guess it didn't move enough for him, so he kicked it a few times. This pretty much cleared up how it got out of plumb the first time. Pissed off doesn't even describe how mad I was. I went over there, and the kid had gone inside, and nobody would answer the side door. So, I went around to the front door, and nobody would answer it either. By then the kid had come back out so, I asked him if his parents were home and he said no. This kid looks to be about 10 years old. I don't know the law on leaving a kid that young home alone. I had been back home about 15 minutes and the mother drove up. She met me at the fence, and we had a little talk about junior. If it happens again, I guess I'll have to get the law involved. [/QUOTE]
