Go to the parents house with the vandaled car and tell them one of the three kids did this. As soon as the paretns start defending their kids instead of beating them, you know who did it.

And how do the parents know he's not lying and trying to get money?

Personally, I say get some webcams, re-paint the car and leave it where it was. If the fvckers do it again, you'll have hard evidence of vandalism. If they bring guns with them, so much the better. Also, buy a gun yourself. Just in case. Get an Auto or Shotgun and that'll scare the crap out of them if it comes to that. U can also request police protection.

Edit: Also, if u could find the guns they hid, and record it on camera with your wife watching, they're screwed.

Also, were any of these kids uber-goths or ghetto looking? If so, be VERY careful. Goths have been behind almost every school shooting from Columbine to the Indian Reserve a few months ago. (Even Malvo was something of a goth).

Get a paintball gun and lay on your roof. That would sure scare the piss out of them ;)

try getting a guard dog and set up a video camera. if they come on your property, dog gets them. if they shoot your dog, you've got it on tape.

Sad thing now and days. Now if the parents take the belt to the kids butt for doing something bad. The kid can get the parents in trouble if they wanted too.

Back when I was a kid the dad could take the belt to the kids butt. Nothing the kid could really do about it back then. You just tryed your best not to make your parents upset.

If you can do it, try like placing a old computer close the car in question. Then run a small web cam to the outside and face it to the car or ect. Then have it record video or take pics every few secs. Course the area outside will have to have enough lighting for it.

Post an ad in their school newspaper. Free (the crappy) car or $500 for the names of those who did it, and willing to tell the police what they heard from the punks.

Well it was... the kids were just friends of one kid in the neighborhood and now apparently Im a target.... thanks to the police for being discrete on that....


Is


Viva la resistance
Fvck-W

A common phrase to write on peoples vehicles?

"Viva La Resistance" was used in a Southpark episode. Not sure where else tho.

This vandalism sounds like the work of the punks in question. Hopefully they'll have an accident with the gun or overdose or die in a single car accident.

IIRC it was teh southpark movie.

Personally, I'd turn the car around and spraypaint "Do it again, punks" on the hood and tape down a pictar of myself holding the most imposing assault weapon I can find to pose with... In my case, probably an M2HB down at the local gun shop.

Im calling the cops again, Im not going to put up with sh|t like this in a decent neighborhood

2 + 1 != 2

With an attitude like that and the way you apparently view things I wonder what you have done to deserve this kind of attention from these so called "Punks"?

lolol



fixed it before you posted, but after you quoted... Im a little angry right now and not typing the best. My wife just called me crying because she saw it and related to the fvckers who had guns the other day, she is worried that something worse will happen.

As far as revealing my identity..... they came up to my house and asked me questions as the kids peeped out of the upstairs window , and they stowed the guns on my lawn 2 + 2 = 4... im sure they put it together themselves


Not sure what other options the police had

hahahahaaaa 4 hrs later still no police...looks like the police have you pegged

I can see the 911 operator now...hey margaret it the dude again...rofl......

Purchase M4A1, strip it & field clean it in your front yard when those kids are home. Don't ever look at them, that way they think you're nuts. Then it will all be over soon after. Oh and buy a home alarm system if you haven't already, these kinds of people steal regularly....trust me.

I didnt see them do it, and dont even know the kids.... plus with them carrying pistols I would be pretty stupid to try to confront a few of them at the same time, even if they are kids

Lure them into an ambush....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


WOW, thanks for that, the combination of your wording and the link gave me a good chuckle :D

IMO they crossed the line when they stored weapons on YOUR property. I'm not a homeowner (yet), but this is what immediately comes to mind:

1. Call the police and file a report, take pictures and have the police stop by before you move anything.
2. Pony up the $ for a good security system: motion-triggered lights around your house (front and back-yards and any hidden paths) and at least two cameras discreetly placed. Install them at night or under some other cover so it's not obvious they're being installed. The increase in property values that would eventually result and the safety of mind are worth the cost.
3. Invest in a shotgun (12 or 20 gauge) and learn how to trap shoot. IMO. I'm partial to shotguns as those are my main firearms hobby. You could go the pistol route but honestly, if you're not experienced with target shooting you'd have to put in some time to become a decent shot. And, IMO, nothing has the shock value of a shotgun action being cocked. I'd speak to other homeowners and CCW-permit holders about this topic, as it is a big step to take if you're so inclined (as I am). If you pull a firearm for self-defense you should be confident and prepared to take a life.

That's my opinion, but I don't take lightly to people stealing or defacing my property.




I am a very good shot with a shotgun. Went to PA and visited my father after not having gone target shooting in 4 years. I out shot him with the shotgun on clay pigeon shooting, and with a scoped 22 trimmed a 2 inch branch by trimming it from the bottom up at its base.

I hunted when i lived in Pa and owned a BB rifle and pistol which I learned to shoot with. A pistol is something Ive wanted for a while, and I figure this is an excuse to get it.... plus easier to load and i get more shots normally....


don't buy a handgun right now..you will get owned.

So you want his wife to commit a crime too?

And get your a$$ handed to you when their parents can prove they were somewhere else.

To elaborate on this.

He'd be brandishing (even though it would be a fake gun) which is illegal.

Also, if he drew on the kids, the kids would be within their legal rights to use lethal force and kill him.

I'm pretty sure people who are assaulting someone on their property while concealing illegal handguns have no legal rights to shoot their victim if he decides to retaliate.

(This may sound pretty overkill)


but hire some sort of Private Investigator or pay a security company to hang around (discretely) for a week or so, and catch them in the act (with either photos or outright arresting them on the spot)

Fvck W = Fvck Whitey?

Could be about you (if you're white) or the police.
I'm pretty sure that's what it means. Not Fsck Dubbya.

Kidnap one. Tie him up in your garage. Beat him until he admits to the crime. Get him to sign a piece of paper. Call cops.
