Honestly, what about knocking on their door with a plate of cookies (or etc...) and a can of Spackle, explain to them that you had a small accident while working on a cannon, a small projectile hit their house, and you'd like to do the right thing and retrieve it and fix the damage (Spackle it over and touch up the paint...). If they're reasonable people, they'll respect your honesty and good-neighborly-behavior. If they're not reasonable people.... then do as sandman recommended, but when you know they wont be home.
Peace,
Pete Zaria.

If you do that, it never hurts to say it won't happen again as well.

lol, ive learned never to say never
prime example, i was shooting in my back yard and i was kneeling and i didnt notice i was falling over and i fired knocking me over and missing the target and hitting the neighbors fence, so i ran over and wiped up what i could, and loaded again and was determined to hit the target except i sneezed and squeezed the trigger and missed again, and i got mad and quit for the day, lol, but the next day when it rained there were 2 large white spots on the fence where the taters hit, luckily they and on the side of the fence the neighbors dont see and my parents didnt look out the window that day

Okay, I've taken in what all you guys are saying. THough I will DEFINITELY NOT OWN UP! I'm in enough shit as it is.(Don't Ask).
Yes, I know it was stupid. It was a spur of the moment type thing.
I think I'm gonna have to call the Fire Department from all this Flaming (OMG! A BAD JOKE! YAY!!!!!).
Though I probably deserve it. I was being egged on and well, It took over.
I'm sorry. But if I get found out I'm in the Shizzle.

No offence but you don't expect us to applaud lack of foresight - at least along with the flaming you've also received empathy and some valid advice as well

Yeah, I realise that, Note How I said "I Probably Deserved It".
Edit- And yeah, before anyone states the friggin' obvious, that was a heinous joke. OKay I already acknowledged that.

I've tried so many times but it's hanging like 3m up approx. i almost got caught once. Though Sydney is right in the middle of Thunderstorms and Heavy, Heavy Rains at the moment so I'm hoping that the weather may lend a hand.
Happy Spuddin'

Is it visible at all to the casual observer? If not, just rip off the tail and chances are it will go unnoticed.

Okay, I'll try to get a pic.
Most of the rain has screwed up my shitty highlighter colouring but It can be easy to see when your looking for it. I'm just worried that as they are walking down there driveway they look up and see it sticking out of heir wall.
But never Fear! I've come up with a plan. Tomorrow night it's Friday so at like 10pm I'll run across with a step ladder and grab it.
