Bad Manners and Brimstone

When my nephews were little, they made reindeer food at day care, which was a mixture of oats and other grains and some glitter.  When my Dad asked the youngest one what the glitter was for, he said that it was so the reindeer could find it.  He and his Mom spread it out on the front yard.  The next day, there were hoof prints everywhere!  But there were no late night adult shenanigans; our local wild deer popped in for a snack.

Oh God, the poor deer! I hope it didn’t kill them; it certainly can’t have done them any good. What a horrible, horrible idea.
Please, people, don’t try this at home yourselves!

The deer were fine.  The glitter passes right through their system with no issues.  And the oats and grains were good for them.

Zoos use glitter to identify which animals are eating which specific foods all the time.

What about:
Friend, on XXDATE, the Jeep is moving out. It's either going to a location of your choice within XX miles, or a scrapyard. If it goes to the scrapyard, we'll pass along to you any money left over after deducting $$XX (reasonable towing and gas fee).

I like this idea, but I'm not sure you can send it to the scrap yard without proper paperwork and approval of the owner.

Like others, I'd check local laws. You might be able to have it towed and have him charged storage.

After checking the laws, I'd send a last notice text, email, and registered letter detailing what will happen if it's not removed.

My concern would be that the jeep damages the equipment used for cutting and bailing hay. Either way, Zack needs to understand there will be consequences for not removing this jeep.

If the Jeep isn't titled (from the original post), is there other paper work needed?

Maybe I'm ornery or something, but in those circumstances, I would still be using my phone or tablet, but (here's the difference) as a book or guidebook. Reading, silent browsing, the like. If the noise level and my behavior is the same as a newspaper or book, what difference does the medium/device make? If no one can tell if it's a tablet or a book without looking closely, does it matter?

I pin heavy tinfoil to my couch; it's another from the list of 'things to deter cats.'
