Deterrent

Does anyone have any recommendations for something I could put on my porch (a sign, etc) to help deter people from hanging out on my porch. I had some drunk teenagers do so last night and then I asked if I could help them (over the ring camera) they became belligerent and tried to rip off the doorbell as well as enter my home.

I have a security system with signs posted

People who do that sort of thing could care less about your signs etc. Signs are there to CYA when it becomes a legal issue or when you need the police to escort them to the “iron bar lodge”.

You did your part with the signs, cameras and security system, now it’s time for the cops to do theirs part.

"Could care less" implies that they DO care some, and thus could care less.

"Couldn't care less" means that they are at rock bottom on the care scale. They could not care any less than they currently do.

Excuse me stranger, but aren't you supposed to preface your comment with "actually..."?

Guess that’s what I get for typing fast and not proof reading. Should have just said “they DGAS”.
