    You aleays hear of it happening to others, but this is definately a first for me!!

    Went out to the car to go to work and someone had thrown a brick through the back window of my Intrepid!! Ok...that sucks, so I come in to call the boss and tell him that I will be late...then call the police, ofcourse!! Go back outside to wait for the police to arrive, and while I'm pacing around...I look over and the bastards also kicked in the side of my Explorer!!!! Double whammy!!!! :eek: :confused:

    Upon further investigation...the police found bootprints on the side of the car, where it looks like they tried to kick it in and fortunately the body style is soooo rounded and the window is sooo small they wasn't able to do anything that way!! So I guess they got the brick, then?? Then I guess they decided that since they couldn't bash in the side of the car...they went over and kicked in the side of the truck!! :mad: :rolleyes:

    They were able to lift a palm print off of the truck where it appears as though they used their hand to brace themselves while they kicked in the door panel!! However...the police said that noone will have records of the palm print unless that individual had been to prison/jail before!! Unfortunately the fingertips of the print were smudged?? :(

    So now...that's $400.00 out of my pocket to replace the back window, and fortunately I was able to take the door panel off the truck and pop that out by hand!!

    Well...I guess one thing...can't see how it could get much worse from here!! :rolleyes:

    Hope everyone elses day is off to a good start!!

    Actually...we have a $500.00 deductable on the comprehensive side of our insurance, which we did to bring the premium down!! That and you always think...*that'll never happen to me*..bulls**t...it did, and I changed my deductable too!!!! LOL


    To make matters better though...got a double check from work today for some back pay and some mileage that I had forgotten about!! WOOOOOHHOOOOO...let's go to the boat!!

    Man, that sucks. I have a few ideas of what you could do to the perpetrators when you catch them.

    rog do you think this was a random act of vandalism or did people do it to your cars intentionally?

    With so much effort involved, it sounds personal to me. :confused:

    Made anyone mad lately Rogvalcox? Or any of your family made anyone mad recently? Dog pooped in the neighbors yard? Anything? Doesn't have to be a "good" reason for someone to get mad theses days.

    Could be a place for the Police to start. Damn criminals make me mad! :mad:

    Oh, and sorry, I can't afford the brick right now. I am a poor man! :(

    Sorry. On my soapbox again!

    Actually...it is soooo hard to tell!! We live in an apartment above an old workin' mans bar, but on the weekends we get some pretty interesting crowds!! Not only that...Living on the very edge of Aurora...and for those of you that don't know...of the 175,000 people...about 130,000 are mexican, straight from the border!!! So it is not surprising that the Latin gangs are out of control around here!!

    Also...considering that it was sometime between 2am and 7am...odds are there wasn't but maybe 3 or 4 cars in the parking lot and ours just happen to be 2 spaces apart, over in the particular section that we always park!!

    Personally...I think it was some sort of stupid gang iniciation (spelling?) or something to that effect!! All the people I know, and talk to, are still talking to me, and hanging out with us!! I can't figure out who or how I would have pissed off anybody, but who knows!!

    I'm hoping that someone, one of these days will get drunk and slip at the bar, and then we will be able to get them...legally ofcourse!!

    Sorry to hear your news Roger.

    I once had that happen to me through the rear windshield. It was a Sunday morning, I was in church, and parked in the church parking lot. I'll let you draw your own conclusions to that :p

    i think you were going for "initiation" =]

    that sucks that there's a gang problem by you... where i moved in MD the gangs are started to pertrude into our neighborhoods... particularly this super violent MS-13 salvadorian gang (Mara Salvatrucha). Mostly they were confined to Northern Virginia and Washington D.C. but now they are starting to sprout up in the surrounding counties (Montgomery County)...

    just 2 weeks ago 11 MS-13 gang members in Wheaton, MD (Montgomery County) were indicted on multiple counts of attempted first degree murder when they stabbed 2 separate groups of rival gang members, at a local high school one day and inside a Target store the next... the members indicted were as young as 15 and as old as 20 (all charged as adults)... such a waste of a life but they get what they deserve...

    some of these kids are fearless when they join these gangs.... it truly astonishes me that they are incapable of associating their actions with the perceived consequences of the law...
