If you mess with my bronco then you taste my bumpers!

 

Back when I was 12, I had save a "ton" of money ($200), and bought the best bycicle I could. Guess what, some jerk stole the axles out and beat the crap out of the frame. Sure, they could use the axles, but why beat up the frame? Doesn't do them anything. Pointless destruction. Video would be a great idea, and you should be able to find a decent system for less than $400. Too bad it's not the wild west anymore, good men can't take care of those dishonorable deadbeats.

 

I wish i had some extra cash to spend on a surv. setup, but i dont have any extra cash laying around. Zip up windows arent much of a deterrant, even less so when one has a slash in it from someone trying to break in. I did catch that guy tho. Least my car had a slight smell of Lemon to it- now it has the smell of rotten lemon that i cant find... *goes back to looking under seats*

 

My truck got keyed once...wait my wife did it because i did something stupid and she was ****ed.
Sorry to hear about the trouble. Is local law enforcement not and option?

eventualy some one will know because theyll go around braging about it. I would track them down and beat them so bad their mom would feel it. You dont mess with peoples vehicles.

 

The worst thing about this type of thing?

The cowards that did it will probably never own anything nice enough for the same thing to happen to them.

 

I would seriously shine your Jeep up again and leave it sitting in your driveway just the way it was that day....mabey even leave the doors open. Sit inside with lights off, and curtians closed with a shotgun in your hand. Peek out a window and wait....thats just what I would do.

 

We own a rent house in a generally nice neighborhood. the renters moved out, and my dad, my mom and i went to town on the house. pulled out the carpet, scraped up all the tile in the house. so the floor was down to bare slab. painted the walls. i mean replaced everything. "remodeled" if you will. we laid the carpet down, finished tiling the house except for the kitchen. left for the day at 8pm that night expecting to come back the next morning, lay the tile in the kitchen and be finished, ready to rent. Well we return to see the remaineder or the interior paint, poured all over the carpet, every room. punched holes in the walls with a hammer and also painted them red with the exterior paint. every wall. just demolished all the work we had done. its amazing what people in the world will do. oh yeah they also spray pained words on the outside of the house that i will not repeat here. just never ceases to amaze me. why cant those people just go skip rocks at the lake or somthin if they are mad?

forgot to mention, the point of the story. so man i feel your pain. this was just to the tune of $15,000. but dont worry about it, ntohin can be done now. just have to be cautious of our belongings.

 

man thats definately the short straw

The other day sombody Keyed my gandma's car... WHO WOULD KEY A CROWN VIC!?! sick people


The worst that's happend to me is my 1980 bmw 530 i was stolen... about 3 miles later it broke down on the theives and they diched it.

 

Yeah, some people are like that. I knew one guy who got a kick out of messing with other people's nice cars. Through him i learned that the kind of people who do stuff like that are total losers themselves, and are always going to be losers because they refuse to ever change, yet they're somehow angry at the world for not giving them everything they want.

Anyway, i was at a car show with this guy (i dont know him that well he was just tagging along with a group of us) and he saw this flashy c3 corvette. His first reaction was "man when nobody is looking i'm going to dump my pop down it's carb".

I asked him why the hell he would want to do that, and he couldnt really give me an answer. I flat out told him if he did it, i'm not just going to stand around and let him get away with it. I guess he thought i was joking or something. So of course this moron went and did it, and nobody saw him except me.

Long story, but i gave him the slip and i made my way back to that vette. The owner was there and i told him what happend and who did it.

The owner of the car was a retired marine corps martial arts instructor. I only know he was a marine because he looked like one....and i only know he was a martial arts master because...well...he gave a demonstration.

 

One of my previous vehicles was a 1998 Jeep TJ Sport 4.0, nicely done up (but not too crazily overdone). Really fun vehicle, but I couldn't park it anywhere without someone doing something stupid to it. I've had grill/headlights kicked in, keyed the whole jeep, cigarette burns in the seats, dash destroyed with a hammer/screwdriver, everything.

I sold the jeep, had a few other vehicles before landing my f150. My XLT is nice, but nothing crazily done up, and so far (knock on wood) no one has done anything stupid to it. If you have something nice, someone else is going to wreck it because they are jealous and don't know an honest days' worth of work from a hole in the ground.

 

Ever see on one of those "caught on tape" shows where some kids were keying a cop car, and the camera that looks out the windsheild caught just about everything. I thought that was awfully bright, or not.

 

Hey subliminal-
Here's an idea. Do you know the guys specifically who did it? Because if you do, why not talk to them, respectfully? Tell them you forgive them, and even take a couple of them to lunch. I doubt they would ever do it again. How can someone live with themselves if they repay evil for good?

 

ExcellentRed, ive never heard of such a thing in my life. no offense. think about it though, we are currently rebuilding Iraq and they are still shooting our soldiers daily.

rebuilding a country is alot more than taking some hoodlums to McDonalds and telling them "hey, its no big deal"

 

those types of guys will probably think you are an idiot for taking them out to lunch, pretty much looking like a push over. and next time they want to go out for lunch they will rip off you stuff again!
