Anyone know how to get rid of solicitor hand-outs?

[frank69m]

Has anyone noticed that Irvine has so many people walking around putting those silly solicitor hand-outs at your doorstep. I was away for like 4 days during Christmas, I come back home and there is like a pile of:

"Rita's house cleaning..."
"Jose's garden service"
"I can sell your house for max dollars. I'm a foreclosure expert"
"We buy homes"
"We are collecting clothes in your neighborhood"

Now with all this, people can tell I'm gone....If I put a "No soliciting" sign up, is that legal. Is it even legal for them to put that junk on my porch?

That is exactly how burglars scope out their victims. The next thing is to ring the door bell then walk around to the sideyard to see inside. Most would leave one second floor window slightly open
for ventilation. That window is where the thief gains entry. If someone comes to the door then the thief would leave a Jehovah Witness pamphlet.

Never mind, Why am I telling you all these. You live in Irvine and crime does not exist.

You cant possibly think that would work do you?

If you are lucky you may have room next to your door for this

Have a gardener set up a sprinkler that's "always on" and triggered by movement near your FD. That, or as my neighbor's done put a faux camera in view by your eaves on the walkway to your door. It discourages many from dropping and running.

During the heyday of the market, we were getting about 3-5 advertisement A DAY every weekend from realtors. Those, plus the mailers, worked out to 1 ad dropped every 12 hours of every weekday. You can't stop it, but you might prevent a few by dousing them before they hit your porch.

Put a small trash can on your porch with one of these stickers on it and the solicitations in it and maybe they'll get the hint:

What porch? I have not seen one since 1995!

haha. this is a good idea. I might do that. Maybe I'll put the trash can there and put a new sign that says, "Put your solicitation paper work here"

Do you have a driveway too? 2 sideyards? A rear yard without a neighbor? A front door facing the street? I am really jealous now because you also live in between Coastal and Shady Canyon. Your house must be a Trillion $ house. Is it also Tuscan with all the stones? I would die just be able to live in one.

Stop your red towel hobby and save. You just might have enough to rent one month to month.

[irvinehomeshopper]

I know. I paid an hourly fee just to check out these private houses in Irvine with a porch, 2 sideyards and driveway. The red towel specialists are walking Main Street/ Redhill to drum up more business to pay for MR and HOAs I heard.

I would like a porch, and a basement, and a mudroom. I think I need to move out of California.

 

[irvinehomeshopper]

You don't need to move out of California. Just 4 miles and 8 minutes away you will find them all plus a granny studio above a 4 car garage, pantless yard, 60' tall trees, streets tunnel through tree limbs, 100 setbacks, 300' between neighbors' porches across the street and an occasional visit of a special guest. No HOA and no MR.

There are basements in Santa Ana?

 

[irvinehomeshopper]

Yes, many homes have a basement. When Qwerty's relatives decide on a shooting rampage the basement is where residents hide to escape bullets piercing through the walls. The basement went from a 1940's atomic war novel idea to today's gang war hideaway.

Completely forttressed from Zombie attack because they can't go downstairs.

Mudroom are always at the rear of the house with a milk bottle depository chamber from the outside. This was from the era when supermarkets did not exist.  Ralph, Albert, and son made personal home visits to deliver groceries.
