SUV full of teens went down the street and egged a bunch of cars in broad daylight! 8 to be exact. Couldn't get the plate, but I'll remember "them". I got it off quickly but I really want to find them again. Had to tell all the neighbors about their cars.
Sad comment on youth today. Not even a "target"...just any and all cars down the street. I'll sit here and think about what to do when I find them......
Your story?

It mostly hit the back window anyway and left goop and shell in the bed liner. Three neighbors weren't too concerned and said they would wash it off later. Two went to a spray-off place and the rest weren't home.

When you find out where they reside, you have a tough decision. Do you pull a late-evening Contra Command (w/o the up, up, down, down, left, right...) and egg their car into oblivion (and I'm talking carton*s*) or call the Law and risk a simple grounding. It's WT as possible, but I'm thinking eye for one-two hundred eyes in this situation. What to do...
Sorry to hear about the attack, but now that you've remedied your situation, you have childlike retribution ahead of you

That sucks...I'd be real pissed off. More so if it were my Protege (well I don't have one YET). The Maxima already has plenty of flaws so it would limit my justification of rage.
I'd say chase them next time to get the plate #, but you could only do that if you had a crappy car to do it with. That way you wouldn't care when you received a barrage of eggs from them while you chased them.

Besides I like to hit things that can hit back. Since Marty Grant's car wasn't damaged they probably only deserve a few boots to the face. If they damaged the car then their punishment would need to be more harsh. | |

It's a good point about the son's v. daddy's car, but the question is solved fairly quickly if you locate the driveway.

Or, just offer to sweep the snow off their car next time it snows. Rakes work best.

They are probably 16 year old minors, and if I showed them what the military trained me to do....."Hostiles to the left, fix bayonets...CCCCharge!"...then I would be prosecuted for war crimes or child abuse. Fate will determine whether I ever get the "right" kind of restitution....
I think the best thing is to let their own bad karma catch up to them. They might egg the wrong guy's car cause they think their so cool and he might just be a maniac who shoots people who even touch his car.
Yes, I'm going to call upon the BIG DETAILER IN THE SKY to figure this one out. Make it a good one, Amen.
