The french word you're trying to use is spelled VOILA. The word you just used is spanish for rape.

a concrete block in the middle, and bushes around it...the plow'll get damaged

For everyone thinking this is the solution, you guys are 1) off your rockers with little knowledge and 2) unaware that unless he posts a sign, CHAD will more than likely be the one paying after someone sues him for the damage HE caused to THEIR vehicle - it's the reason there's signs telling you backing up will cause damage to your tires
The size of the concrete block needed to actually DAMAGE a plow truck would cost him FAR more than the cost he has in mind to replace those bushes, and there's still a pretty good chance it won't do anything other than bust a hydraulic hose or POSSIBLY get the thing stuck. 's funny to consider, but something like a Burmese tiger pit would be what would actually work.

---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, Chad wouldn't be paying for anything. You can't sue someone for having something in their yard that isn't save to drive over. Well . . . you can't win anyway. Maybe he should just make a call to the city every year and say, "Hey, guys. Just a friendly reminder about my concrete block. Don't drive ON MY LAWN and you should be okay."

Are you retarded? Aren't you looking to BECOME a lawyer? This kind of crap happens, and people DO win.
Purposefully putting something in his yard that serves no purpose other than to damage someone else's vehicle most certainly can get you sued and there's a very real possibility that they CAN win.
In case you're not recognizing the similarities, having a dog that attacks a burglar or shooting someone and wounding them is the same thing - you CAN sue someone for something in their house that isn't safe for them to illegaly ENTER YOUR HOUSE.
In case you seem to think those are unreasonable, planting your mailbox eleventy feet deep in concrete with solid metal posts being the support system for them can get you sued, and you WILL lose when it is demonstrated that you did this to "get them ---daisies--- back" - the ones that keep running over your mailbox because they're hammered. Same thing, same concept, same outcome, and this is a definitive case.
Are you SURE you're cut out to be a lawyer? You don't seem to grasp the need to have no reasons to sue or the very real possibility you can convince a group of 12 dolts that you were wrong in attempting to "defend" your property in such a manner.

Next time this happens, you will know who did it because their plow will still be sitting there when the cops arrive. ;D

Why make it complicated? Fill up a garbage can with concrete (or bricks but that might not do it in this case) and put that out to the curb. Heh, that worked like a charm against high school kids back when I was in school (just imagine crappy 80's cars hitting garbage cans for fun then taking a shot at that - even the ones built like bricks took a good hurt from those).
