Thread: Teenage PUNKS!

Tweet

Was in my garage tonight around 10 pm working on getting my motion lights and camera together. Heard kids coming down the street as they came to my house they made a beeline to my yard where I had 11 of my 32 tombstones up. I grabbed a 6 iron from my golf bag and made it to the front yard just in time to watch them kick my countdown clock tombstone in half. F'ers broke it in two. I screamed at them and chased them about a half a block, but my fat ass couldn't catch them. Ran back to the house, jumped in my car but couldn't find them. Little bastards could run. Found two state troopers about 3 blocks away and they went looking for them, but couldn't find them either. The 5 girls these boys were with were found in my sub division but of course "had just met the boys that night and didn't know who they were."


Totally pissed right now. This is my first year doing this. I am glad I didn't catch them cause I probably would have put one in the hospital. Not worth me going to jail and losing my job over. The troopers took a report. I'm probably going to get something out to the schools and offer a reward for info leading to arrest.


this is what it USED to look like. It's now broken in two right at the 3 holes for hours/mins/secs I can probably fix it, at least the clock part still works.

On the positive side my tombstone anchoring worked very well, the bottom part of the stone stayed firm to the ground as the top half went flying.

Man that sucks. Why do people have to be so stupid and thoughtless? I hope you find out who it was that did this.

aww man that sucks!!!! we get an email every year from housing saying to make sure we don't put anything out that's extremely valuable till the night of halloween, because of vandals. I'm sorry that happened

I don't understand this kind of behavior. You would think that the kids would think it's cool that you do this kind of thing but noooooooooo.... there are always the punks who do not have respect for anyone or anything... sad... I hope they are caught and there is some sort of punishment. Your clock looked great BTW.. I hope you can fix it.

Sorry to hear, I saw you post that stone earlier and I really like it.

Could this kind of crap be why fewer and fewer people decorate for Halloween? I know it effects the way I plan my display, even not wanting to place things near the street. I defiantly get nervous with all of the high end lighting I have out night of!

Stupid idiots!!! Who needs that kind of crap? Hopefully they catch them and you can make them pinatas in the front yard for Halloween! The six iron sounds like a perfect choice.

It IS a great sign and I hope you can fix it up. I think that's the only way to stop these idiots is to show them your tougher.

(The guy down the street has a windmill in his yard that kept getting smashed by vandals, and everytime they smashed it, he fixed it. After 3 times they gave up.

Oh that is a nice clock! Sorry you didn't catch the punks. I too spent the day (and yesterday) looking for a brat on my video because he was messing with every mailbox on my street. I had him in my grasp and cussed him figuring it would scare the crap outta him but the jerk just laughed in my face. I spent several more hours looking for where he lived and when I would go one way he would double back and mess with my mailbox again. Luckily I was driving home from the store this evening and there he was in his front yard!!!!!! He ran for mommy and we just about had a knock down drag out in their front yard cause "her little angel wouldn't DO that"
I let her know I would turn the video tape over to the cops and that changed her tune but "I had no right videoing her kid"...YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

Disgusting! I am SO sorry!

I know I've told this story a million times, but the first Halloween after I was married and in a new home my entire display was stolen! Everything...down to the spider webs in the bushes. I spent my Halloween driving through neighborhoods looking for my stuff. Never found anything and the cops didn't find the guys.

It totally spoiled Halloween for me for a few years. Don't let them take your Halloween spirit! Hope they find the idiots!

That's exactly how they get to be such brats. Parents in denial. Good on you for taking them down a peg.

I'm sorry that happened to you, spinachetr. I love your clock! I bet you can fix it up, and now it will certainly look "broken in" and "distressed." Crappy way to get there though.

I know we all go through that "acting like a bad@ss in front of your friends" phase, but come on! I hate to sound like an old fart with good-old-days syndrome, but back in the day, my 'rents would've lost their ever-lovin' minds if I did something stupid like destroy someone's property.

You know what I would do? I'd prop it up, broken, in the yard, with a sign next to it stating the date/time that it was damaged and giving a description of the vandals. I'd offer a little reward for the names of the nastly little buggers that did it. If I got their names, I'd contact their parents and inform them that I was calling the police. Then, I'd fix it as best I could and rock on!!!

Oh, and if you know the girls that the boys were with, NO CANDY FOR THEM!
