Thats insane. These F***ing kids are ridiculous. In my neighborhood there were a few punks randomly slashing tires just for the fun of it! I'm glad that I'm still working on my Camaro in the garage and it's not parked in my driveway. I guess once I've got it out I'll be sleeping in the drivers seat with my 12 gauge. I hate to hear stories like this because, what can you really do? 14 year old kids have no idea how much of a headache they caused and it wouldnt help things to run them down and smash their faces in (although it would be fun). Hopefully insurance will cover it, good luck man.

I've had to do an e-brake 180 before. Nothing is better than slamming the brakes, making the tires scream & going WOT right back towards them as their little faces turn pale & they sprint like hell, screaming like little girls. Good times, good times.

I feel your pain but worse yet for me it was a man and his wife who egged my car in a Meijers parking lot with my top down - my car smelled horrible for weeks. They caught them on camera but they never were back since so... yup... I just stayed calm believe it or not because seriously... what can you do!? This was when I had my 01 Mustang GT BTW - Guess people really hated it

Your coworkers are either on tranquilizers or they drive minivans and Camrys.

I would have beat those kids bloody.

From my experience with the work world, I would go with the later.

Overreact??! I don't think so... I live in the Gym, and run at least 12 mi per week.. there were some HS (freshmen) in my neighborhood out TPing trees, paint balling cars, etc.. It was around 3 a.m and i was up taking a ****.... i heard them as well as my dog going nuts outside... I take off out the front door and the race was on... they split up, i honed in on one taunting him as i was gaining ground... He finally stopped when he knew he couldn't outrun the old man (then 44 y/o).. he fell to the ground in the fetal position.. I took him to one of my neighbors houses ( county Sherriff) and turned him in.. he ratted on his bud's and their parents were fined!! Justice served! Suffice to say, they have never been back to my home..

I would have stopped, unassed my car and ran them down.. or at least tried..

That suck, I would be pissed as well.

Some ******* put an egg on my windshield and snapped the wiper on it. By the time I found it, most of it dripped into the wiper cowl and hardened. I was pissed, it took forever to clean.

I would find out where they live and go to their house and punch their parents square in the mouth. Then send them the bill for the paint job. Bad parenting leads to kids doing dumb ****!!!
