Alternative Measures

Anyone who has the pictured pink newspaper bag of crap ads thrown on their driveway every Saturday morning will appreciate this story. 
I don't know how long its been happening but, as noted, every Saturday morning the pink bag is there, thrown in the darkness from a 1992 Geo Spectrum I am picturing. If I am 'Joe Burglar' and see that same bag laying there on Tuesday, time to move! I can't be a hater to the Geo Spectrum driver as he/she is just trying to make a buck as my mom had the task one year (1970-something) of delivering phone books and let me tell you as I helped, enough phone books in a mid size car can sure weigh it down as we were just about touching ground on the back bumper.   
Back to the pink bags, after enough times of walking the bag from the driveway directly to my recycle bin this spring, I called the number on said bag to request it to stop. No problem I was told. A month later, the papers were still coming. I called again. No problem. The papers still came. To the Internet I went and got on a chat with a representative from the pink bag company. It will stop I was told. It did not stop. I went back to the chat with another representative but it was not to be. 
Friday night I took measures into my own hands with the below picture. Saturday morning came and my neighbors had the pink bags and I didn't so we'll see. If not, I might have to resort to egg throwing at the Geo Spectrum next week (ha). Stay tuned.
