Why would someone do such a thing?
This evening when I came home from my parents house I saw dirt on my livingroom window. When I did an inspection close-up it seemed that it's egg!!! Why would someone do such a thing? Mind you, I live on the 4th floor!
It has happened before, when I first moved in, 5 years ago. So twice in 5 years, but still...... Also the doors of the storagerooms of my brother and I (in the basement of the building) were forced 2 years ago. They didn't get in, but still..... I have absolutely no clue who would do that! I know just a few people in the village and I'm not in a fight with anyone. And if it's a random throw, why MY window  I'm a nice person, drive a cool car, I look and dress normal, so I can't be seen as a freak I guess.... As you might understand I'm kind of sad |

I feared this myself with my ex and her ghetto friends and family. Made sure the car was garaged last two nights. Some people are just scumbags and get off on messing with people. If it happens alot report it to the police and take photographs of the stuff. I was having problems with my neighbors last year shooting fireworks at my house and yard and throwing water balloons. Called and filed a few complaints and increased the police presence in my area. Not a bad tradeoff actually. John

Of course, eggs can be washed away, but still it's not nice.
Unfortunately I can't wash it away myself, because then I have to lean over the balcony. Two windows can only be cleaned by the cleaningman who comes around once a month. So I hope the coming days will be wet enough, so it doesn't dry out  |

Suckage that someone egged your house. I wonder if it has something to do with Halloween. For several years in the US, All Hallow's Eve was also known as "Devil's Night" because of the trouble some people would cause.
Hopefully, you can get it cleaned up without too much trouble, and nothing will happen again.

Look on the bright side: It was only eggs.

And yes, my day is/was quite good as I saw the Russian president Poetin arriving today. We could see the whole spectacle from our office window. I work at a part of the airport, and there, almost in front of us (okay with benoculars???  ) we could see Queen Beatrix, crowneprince Willem Alexander, Poetin and his wife, the marchingband, the 4 canons, several snipers (or sharpshooters), military police, regular motorcyclepolice etc etc.No work was done for at least an hour hehehe  |

Halloween Pranks
Eggs aren't so bad. Listen to what happened to my friends in my camaro club:
A bunch of us are minding our own business in front of Dunkin Donuts tonight. All of a sudden i hear a bunch of popping noises and i realize the sebring on the street in front of us is UNLOADING paintballs at us!!! Of course, Tha Count can always be relied on to rally the troops so he takes off to his truck and we all follow suit. these guys definitely shot at the wrong bunch of people So now these 3 morons in mommy's sebring (no really, it was.... more on that later) have FIVE cars full of pissed off people tailing them. Unfortunately for them, they turned off into a neighborhood full of dead end streets. as they go to make the turn, Tha Count puts it on the wood and gives them a nice tap to let them know he's still back there, at which point he saw that they were in fact TERRIFIED little high school punks. After a couple minutes of canvassing the neighborhood and plenty of automotive acrobatics including a textbook J-turn from a friend of ours, we end up tailing them BACK up towards the road this started on.... as they're turning right, tha count swings up in front of them and manages to slow them down a little. They pull off to the shoulder in front of a bar (i guess to go around him). He swings his truck right and stops it at an angle so they can't get past. At the same time, IrocSkillz darts up alongside blocking them from swinging left. Here's where i come in....at the expense of common sense, i couldn't get over the fact that they had shot at me (and in fact had shot my truck up). I pulled directly behind them, boxing them in, stopped my truck and put it in park (this is important). I don't think the ******* behind the wheel even knew i was back there....he popped it in reverse and from about 6 feet in front of me, FLOORED it! BOOM. he plows into the nice fibreglas mangling bumper cap on the front of my jeep and stops in place immediately while at the same time, scraping his front fender on the side of Iroc's Integra (no real damage). Now despite my rage, it DID dawn on me that these kids might open fire on me with the paintball gun again, OR worse, so i just waited for a few seconds before getting out of the jeep. Once i could see that Tha Count had them RATTLED and that they weren't a threat, i popped out to assist in keeping the situation from escalating.... Well as soon as i saw my front bumper cracked up, that went out the window.... I LOST IT! The kid got out of the car slowly and went to look at the DESTROYED rear end of the sebring (i watched his hands as he got out to make sure he was unarmed before approaching him). I ripped into him so loudly that my own friends were backing away from me wondering how i went so nuts. It's kind of a blur what i said, but the kid IMMEDIATELY backed down, promised to pay for it and went to sit back in his car. (My friends actually told me later, they'd NEVER seen me fly off the handle like that before). About this time, The sound of the collision and my screaming and cursing at the kid like a maniac drew a few of the bar patrons out to watch the fun. I asked Iroc what we should do about this and he told me the cops were already on their way. I walk back past my truck and notice the paint marks. I lost it again. I walked back over to the car screaming something about "you shot at me too?!??!?!" or something along those lines and everybody kinda calmed me down a little. So now there are three <word removed> teenagers hold up in their damaged sebring while 5 cars and a good amount of spectators surround them. The cops pull up and I relay to them more or less what happened, stressing that i was NOT responsible for the accident. The cops were extremely understanding about what happened and ended up writing the police report up simply as my vehicle being struck while parked (which is mostly true anyway, i didn't hit him.) I was given an acciedent report number and the officers assured me this accident would have NO negative effects at all on my insurance the way it was written up. I really appreciate them being so understanding. NOW it gets good....4-5 cops pull these tools out of the car and pat them down, then find the gun in the back seat. after tough talking them a little, one started crying and the other two just had kind of a blank stare on their faces (probably wondering how in the hell they got themselves into this). It turns out they were only 16-17 years old. At this point, everyone is just kinda standing around and the cop notices the paint on my truck. He makes the driver get a shirt or a rag or something and pulls him over to my truck. We have photo evidence of the cop pointing out the spots and making the kid clean the paint off the truck. So the two passengers (including the shooter) get carted off to their parents in police cars at 12:30 at night, which made me extremely happy. The drive waits in the car for his parents to come. After about 20 minutes (which must have felt like <an> eternity to this prick), the mother and father show up in their pajamas...now i KNOW the <stuff>'s gonna hit the fan. As soon as they pull up, one of the bar patrons goes back inside and tells everyone to come out and watch the fun. The mother (who's at least 250 pounds) walks directly up to the kid and gives him four FULL-BLAST SHOTS across the face, at which point the crowd (and the officers as well) burst out laughing. One cop (who looks like he's gonna explode) turns around and acts like he's trying to quiet us down (OVERTLY restraining laughter the whole time). They officers and parents have a little conference over in front of the sebring and half way through the mother gives the kid a full-on haymaker that i heard from a solid 30 feet away! They give the father the gun, and he returns to his car. The mother gets in the driver seat of the sebring which as it turns out is HERS and from what i heard, they didn't know the kid took it out. The kid gets in the passenger seat and one of the cops leans into the window and gives her the card with the accident report number on it. He says to her "i just want you to know, this accident is COMPLETELY your son's fault. He struck that vehicle while it was parked". He then turns toward us and proceeds to silently crack up laughing. In the end, my jeep ended up with a scraped, sligtly dented bumper cap, a fender flare that needs a little adhesive to stick back on and a cracked headlight surround (all the signals/lights work fine). It really doesn't even look like anything, and I'm not paying for it anyway, so it really doesn't bother me much anymore. Maybe i'll leave it alone anyway and use the money towards that blower kit for the GTO. The sebring on the other hand was HURT! half the bumper was pushed all the way in dead even with the vertical surface of the trunk lid, the passenger taillight was out (from Tha Count's love-tap which the kid didn't DARE even bring up), the front was scraped from him hitting iroc's car and, best of all the 1/4 panel was buckled from the collision with me. In short, he <word removed> this thing up nicely. Now with all that said, I really don't feel like hearing from anyone who thought we should have let them go. Yes, there was a risk involved in following them, but there was no way i was going to let them get away with shooting at us without AT LEAST getting a plate # for the cops. As I said, i was as careful as possible to make sure that they weren't any real threat before approaching them. Yes, we kinda took the law into our own hands and the driving skills were slightly illegal but the roads were otherwise deserted and given the three idiots in the car, it was plain to see we weren't going to cause any confrontation that could get one of us hurt. In the end, the police were as understanding as could be, sided with us 110% and none of us was subject to any problems from them. So once again, thanks are in order to my boys of Late Model Muscle for helping me out. At least we were able to get these idiots off the street before they destroyed more property or worse, hit and possibly hurt someone with those paintballs. The laughter and the satisfaction of seeing them get what they deserved alone was worth the little shot the jeep took. People use Halloween as an excuse to do stupid things! edited for creative spelling. Last edited by hestersu; 11-02-2005 at 03:17 PM.. |

Great story! Glad it ended well.
