Default WTF...I don't get it

Went out to move my car this morning and someone had "bondo'd" the dr door handle and gas filler door. The car had been parked beside the house since last Sunday, so I don't really know when it happened. They did an awful job, just sort of left big clumps of it. It came off easy, didn't hurt the car....but WTF who does that?

I'm not a teenager, I have been in Houston less than 2 years and I don't have many kids in my neighborhood. In fact, theft is more of a problem than vandalism. No ex gfs or stuff like that. I don't get it.

Sorry about laughing but it was funny to me. Did they do to anybody else or just you. Who would even think up something like that?

Friday morning getting ready to head out to the office and notice a big *** ping in the side of my door. Closer inspection reveals that it is from a BB gun. Little *** clowns shot my car. I'm already pissed now but as I am leaving, I see 3 cracks in my windshield from BB's. Come to find out someone (kids??) drove around Thursday night shooting out windows in only MUSTANGS!?!? 3 people on my block got windows knocked out of their mustangs. Little *****!!!

It's obvious what happened. Trade school students were simplely trying to bone up for a body work exam. Give them a break and be glad you weren't charged for the work done.. And it could have been worse... They could have been in a chopping and channeling course.. hehe

I have been waiting for the typical "I can't wait til I get my CHL" response that always pops up in the vandalism threads...

Hope you didn't have to wait too long. Any one who loves their car that comes to mind. Parents need to watch their children and if your and adult doing this **** then you need to get beat down.
