Vandals

My friend Matthew and I were watching Dawn of the Dead on my computer, and he left around 11:45. He came back in ten minutes later. His car, and, as we would discover, mine, were vandalized. Mine was only a little. His got shaving creme, eggs, key scratches, and black enamel paint. Mine got a little paint and a big scratch on the trunk, but my paintjob's screwed anyway.

I'm worried about matthew. I've never seen him this angry. I managed to talk him down. He's been under a lot of stress lately, and this damned near brought things to a head. GOD I wish he would stop bottling things up.

We called the cops, but there's nothign they can do. Matthew has had that car (93 Lumina) for less than a week, and it was in top shape. My paint's peeling anyway, and I plan on getting rid of that car soon, so I wasn't really upset.

Plus, I've got to get up in four hours for Guard drill. What a night. I mean, we live in such a small town. I've never heard of any real crime in this neighborhood before...
 
Should you find the suspects... Vigilanty justice is illegal.

But fun as hell.
I suggest a Wrist Rocket and a load Golf Balls.
Or a paintball marker with the gas flow set to max.
 
Remember; throwing eggs at cars does very little harm if the mess is washed off before it bakes on.

Throwing frozen eggs, however...

Was this just some random stupidity or is there someone who holds a grudge against one of you? Were other people in the neighborhood vandalized? Keep us filled in and good hunting.

Happened to my car too, only this time, I got hold of the three
vandals. I had them in front of a criminal court for vandalism, which
got them 500 Swiss Francs fine and 100 hours of social labor. Then I
went to a civil court to get my damage (4500 Swiss Francs; about 2800
US-$) repaid. Luckily, I filed the suit myself, else I'd also have to
pay a lawyer.

To this date (and this incident was 3 years ago), I'm still waiting
for my money. If I don't get it this year, I'll hand over the liens
to a collection agency. One of the meanest. They ask 50% of the debt,
but they only fail to collect in 1% of the cases. And they do it in a
completely legal way, ontop of that.

They're just as persistant as an IR-guided missile, though. :)

George,

Dont' forget to put the paintballs in the deep freeze before setting out. Makes them PAINballs.

Smith & Wesson is dead to me.

If you want a Smith & Wesson, buy USED!
 
Calumet, Michigan, where I live, is a small and quiet town. The vandals are random; the only kids in the area are the ones a few years younger than me that I grew up with, and I know they didn't do this. But, stuff has been happening all over lately. The other day one guy got his front porch set on fire. Stink has it that the punks are a bunch of 14-17 year olds, hitting targets of opportunity. My part of town is quiet, and the cops never come back there....
 
I also got "gotten." I was going to be very low-key about it, though I knew it had to be kids from school. Then they got my wife's car. Now, mine is a somewhat beat-up but loveable '88 Cadillac. I love it, but I don't care if some nimrod think's he's Al Capone because he scratched the paint. But my wife's car is her beloved red '95 Camaro, the car she dreamed about all through high school and college as she drove her Chevy Celebrity pukemobile that leaked a quart of oil every two days.

So I went to school and applied my methods, and now I know who did it. I plan on free car washes early every Saturday morning for about a year.
 
Guys, wax your cars. A good coat of wax keeps almost anything from sticking. I do mine every month (the poor thing lives outside) and I've never had problems getting stuff off of it.

Two weeks ago I drove accross freshly painted road lines. There was a little yellow paint on my car's paint. When I got to my destination, I wiped the dried paint off with my finger.

It works with dried egg too. Enamel paint wouldn't worry me either. Solvents and acids might be a concern if there's enough of it.

Thermite would really bite.
