@Busy-Lizzie No worries, is fine, I thought I had imagined it. I find I skim things sometimes, too eager to reply
@madpenguin I have never seen a wall "topper" like that before I wonder if they were custom made. Lot of walls are probably pretty standard-ish with brick sizes. Not pretty but for a modern finish a bit posher than broken glass
And another row of bricks not level /flat good idea again. Angled zig zag styled would be faster than plants wonder what it might cost. Or good if you can DIY or have a friend who can.
In one of my earlier homes, I filled the top of a low wall with a row of plants in terracotta pots. This dissuaded the youngsters who used to park themselves on this wall. They never bothered after that. You could use trough/window sill trays below these pots if you are worried about the top layer of bricks. HTH.

I have a feeling (but don't know for sure) that there are rules about
putting sharp stuff like broken glass below a certain height, and I'd be
wary about anti-climb paint too.
A prickly hedge clipped so that its outside face is level with the outside face of the wall is probably best in the long term, or a fence positioned so it's at the outside edge of the wall (leaving nothing to park bums on), or adding a decorative finish that just happens to be uncomfortable to sit on (angled bricks or coping stones etc).
Whatever you decide, in the meantime the top of the wall could "accidentally" get very mucky with mud or somesuch, next time you're out there gardening.
