Jerks in this world
Today was one of the few nice days that i haven't been busy with school so i decided to wash and work on my wrangler. Washed, changed all the fluids, added 2 new speakers and cleaned the inside real good. I left the side and back windows down so the smell of sweaty lacrosse equiment could get out. Went and did other things around the house then went to go get food about 8pm. I see a large sonic cup next to my jeep and think nothing of it. Get in and notice coke syrup all over the dash. when i looked closer, it was everywhere. Seats, dash, steering wheel, speaker rack, and the cd changer under the driver seat. I also found 13 lemons that had been squeezed out. Im worried that when i get my new ford that someone will do something to it. My jeep has been keyed, windows slashed, spare stolen, and urinated in. there are some real Edited for Content in this world and they seem to gather in my neighborhood. Damn kids from the rival highschool.

i feel your pain man, that has happend to me many times. windows smashed, stuff stolen, outside paint keyed, and even my school books trashed and thrown around. i mean come on! whats the point? if you are going to steal because you want it, that still sucks but why trash the whole thing. i could really hurt those guys. good for them i never found out.

on the cameras, they cost a little bit but might well be worth it. in your case, look at the SPY STORE online they have some neet stuff there, does this happen in one location?

Keeping the windows up and the doors locked will keep the idiots from dumping stuff inside. I've seen some alarm systems (that aren't available in the US unfortunately) that actually shoot flames out from under the car when it's triggered. That'd teach 'em.

MrWizard, its a great thought but then hed be sitting in jail with some of their buddies, and the punk that got toasted would be driving his wrangler.
its a sick world we live in, the criminals have more rights than the good guys. if one of the neighboor punks here provoked me until i finally knocked his block off, hed own everything i have even though he asked for it.
i feel bad for sublininaldanger. no one should have to go through crap like this, especially time after time.
you might be able to get a security system for a couple hundred bucks. have it well placed, install it at night or something so the punks cant see you doing it. if they do some damage and you catch them on camera, a simple trip to court might make the camera pay itself off.

#1 Alarm system for the truck.
#2 A delay frame VCR (northerntools.com sells them cheap) and mini cam will set you back under $500.
Install #2 when it is dark and/or raining so noone knows you are putting it in. The best are only 1/4 inch lens exposed and work in very low light. Maybe install in the soffit while you are "cleaning" the gutters. Nothing like a video in court for the judge to look at.

Man, heck with that. If it were me, I'd keep my eyes out the window every five minutes to catch the punks. Then take every penny of work out of their . . . And if them or their parents had any problems with that, there's a whole lot more where that came from.
I think the world's too full of those people who don't want to get their hands dirty and get up close and personal. Sure, being a Legal Specialist in the Army, recorded evidence and all that will get you a conviction and some $$$ out of it. But putting a good ol' fashion licking to them will not only keep it from happening again but will serve as a message to any other punks who think about doing the same.
Next to baseball, lawsuits are our national past-time. I had a guy tell me he was going to sue me when I was in the Walmart parking lot and my cart rolled into his vehicle. I deciphered it from the obscenities he was screaming and when I told him I was calling the cops right now to make a report and that I was going to kick his . . . before they got there for speaking to me the way he did, he changed his tune.
"Fiat justitia ruat coelum" Let justice prevail, whatever the consequences!
