I hate my nieghbors and I know it had to be their kid, any ways I was praticeing in my back yard and when I got in I noticed I had red Gum on one of my golf spikes. Now no one in my family chews red gum of any kind so Iknow it was from my nieghbors. Last time I had a problem the fat kid of theres was aggravateing my dog, before that he was trying to cut my cats tail off. I really can't wait untill they move. Any ways I was wondering if there was any way to desolve the gum off or if I should just trash it. I do have lots of other spikes. Well thanks for your advice.
They didn't trespass I think they spit it over the fence at my dog probably. My dog hates that kid more then I do. The gum is annoying but he has also thrown keys (from the car that doesn't run sitting on their carport) at my dog, part of a tatto gun, and a number of tools. ( I keep or throw away everything that comes over the fence) I can't wait till they move, which they are supposed to do. The last 10 sets of nieghbors in that house have all caused problems. If I win the lotto im buying it tearing it all down and adding a putting green there.

More trouble than it's worth, if you ask me...Just change the spike and throw the old one where the kid will step on it...Only joking...sort of...
No first the precvious owners bought it back from the only good set of nieghbors and moved back and we always parting and smokeing pot and other stuff. Once I talked to a freind that is one of the volinteer fire fighters here, and he said that the were called out there for a drug overdose inwhich one of the guys was dead on the top floor when they got there (he lived tho) and the others were playing a playstation and didn't even stop while they carried him out on a stretcher. Then they rented it to a few people who then invited thier freinds to live there for free till there was about 20 of them there. After they were run off we had some squaters (I also forgot to mention that they left after I started to suspect that they were shooting one of those cheap daisy BB guns at my dog and I said I was going to shoot back if I caught them doing it. It also didn't hurt that I was working at a shooting range at this time and had a decked out SKS with a scope and 40 round clip that I would take with me every day. Then there were more renters that would get into fights and do donuts in the street. Then there was a few drug dealers there that left after I hunting season started (who new they were afraid of a guy with lots of guns leaving every morning at 5). Then the daughter of the owners married a guy just out of the army who was alright till she had their child (he was a blonde haired guy and the kid had jet black hair further proved it wasn't his with the test). Then he kinda went off of the deep end and was sleeping in the front yard on a mattress for some reason (even in the rain, I thought he was dead a time or two in the mornings) till he was in a car wreck and had to be taken care of by his parents for a while (I'm told hes doing better). The current resident is his older sister and her kids.
As for the gum I am first trying to soak it in the best tape remover I have found Hoppe's NO. 9 powder solvent. I'm going to let it soak for a while. Luckily only a little got onto the shoe (which I removed with some Remington gun oil) most is on the spike (is a black widow spike BTW).

Real nice...........kid thows a tattoo gun at his dog and you pick on him ..........building a 6 foot privacy fence just on that side would cost $, but if you are handy it would be less...growing up, I had a friend with neighbors that had a kid like this...they just started to call the police every time...the kid went to juvenile hall by 4th grade for attacking another kid at school with scissors....

I think the best way to remove gum from spikes is hold down a fat kid and scrape it off with his teeth. This method is also effective for removing dog doo.
Well the problem with moving is that this house is paid for, and the other two nieghbors are really good nieghbors its only that one house thats the problem. (I think the house is cursed or something)
As for the gum the Hoppes NO.9 Powder Solvent did desolve with out damageing the spike, on the down side it did eat threw the plastic cup I had it in. So if you try this I would do it out side (the solvent has a funny smell to it) and in something glass if possible.

I think Hoppes No. 9 has one of the best smells in the world.
