Default Someone shot my window



So this morning I get up with my kids and next thing I know there is a cop knocking at my door. He informs me that my drivers side front window has been "shot out". I go up there and look and someone shot my window with a pellet gun. Fortunately it didn't penetrate and the window tint held the window together. Nothing was stolen.

According to the cop there has been a series of these happening in the last 3 days. Upwards of 30 cars have been hit by whoever is doing it. Fortunately I have free glass replacement so it's not too huge, but it's irritating none the less when someone thinks messing up other peoples property is fun.

Anyway just had to vent, looks like buffalo has it worse then me right now.

It's those damn teenagers with their Grand Auto Theft vid'a games!

Seriously, though, that sucks. My brother shattered my front window on my old Toronado Trofeo and it was a bitch to find a replacement (not a very common car apparently).

sucks man, sorry to hear it. I have a '95 9c1 (Caprice Cop Car) and I have had the windshield shot out twice (once when my brother was driving it on Christmas Eve some years back). hopefully the glass won't be too much cash and they catch the tool that did it for you. Then go right to small claims court!

Well the glass is free through my insurance. The tint will cost something I guess. I already have a case number so if they catch these clowns I'm assuming something might happen not sure. But I'm keeping all the reciepts.

I don't blame video games for this. Doing so takes the accountability away the assclown that decided this was something that they should do.

it happens here at least once a year, the kids from the suburbs come into the city bored at night and go around shooting out whole blocks of cars with pellet guns...

we lost two windshields in one morning
