What to stick on his windscreen which wont come off easily? [OT]
Call the Bobbies or plan on moving to a more civilised locale.
Your proposed acts of terrorism may land you in the gaol. Leaving tacks in the spot whilst you're gone, well imagine the penalty for _that_. Mark |

You have already gotten the best advice from several others here.
Avoid 'criminal' damage: i.e. anything that requires repair or replacement of any part of the vehicle or renders it inoperable or unsafe to operate. That means nothing on the windscreen that would impede thr driver's vision for same operation of teh vehicle. I would also avoid anything that requires any significant expense on your part, or carrying around any unusual paraphrenalia - if you are apprehended in the act, that makes it look premeditated. Within these parameters, I suggest leaving a note on the driver's side window that is time-consuming (but not impossible or expensive) to remove. That way the driver can safely operate the ehicle to go home simply by rolling down said window. Use a stick of lip gloss... Tom Davidson Richmond, VA |

I recommend a good shellac. |

I've found that ordinary cellotape is pretty hard to get
off glass if it is put on firmly and smoothly. You can stick the note on, then put some carefully placed extra bits of tape beside it. Don't put paper under the nasty bits, put them on clean and plain. The paper will give a starting point to get the tape up and start it peeling. It's also, by the way, very hard to get cellotape off of some kinds of blackboard, and some kinds of whiteboard. Socks |

Splatter the windscreen with _bugs_. Atty (Not so legal, camel dung; would you prefer one hump, or two? |-) |
