Default Paint damage

So I spent HOURS cleaning and waxing my truck yesterday...Only to go out today and see that someone has egged the drivers side of my truck...Now this isn't the first time someone has done something to my truck...A few weeks ago they wrote on my passanger side window "F**K Dodge" in black marker...Now the eggs hit hard enough to damage my paint...The paint in spidered (like when a rock hits a windsheild)...Any ideas what woudl be the best thing to do??? Besides start shooting the punks....

The egg thing happened to me a week ago. Just took delivery of the truck a week prior. Only 300 miles on it and they egged it. Did the splinter thing too. I got some touch up paint to get the primer covered and called it a day. Even if I would have caught the kids that did it nothing would have happened to them hereand they would have just come back and did something worse at a different date. Just sucks that when someone works real hard to buy a different vehicle somebody has to go and ruin it.

Wash your truck up real good and wait for them. Id be willing to bet it someone that lives close by and see's you. Around here people get shot or have their arms/ handsbroke for doing that crap.

It has been getting real bad around here...Starting to wonder if it is someone who doesn't like my tailgate or what, but it seems something happens to my truck every second Sunday...

That infuriates me and it's not even my vehicle. You just DO NOT *** WITH A PERSON'S AUTOMOBLE!!!! It's just someone that is jealous that you have a nice ride and they have some POS. Or look into one of those vibrating alarms? I'd say, stay outside and wait for em to come back and have some kind of weapon preferably a paintball gun with frozen paintballs or a pellet gun. And your camera. I would check insurance to see how much your comprehensive deductible is. The comprehensive won't raise your rates (at least with Farmers it doesn’t). My 2¢.

Judging by the hand writing I'd almost bet that whoever wrote that on your window was a female. I took a class on Handwritting analysis, lol, plus it's entirely too loopy for it to be a guy's shorthand. And then I'd almost also put money that their first or last name begins with the letter F, it's a creative way to write it which normally means it's in their signature.

Oh yeah, but I hate that happened... Unfortunantly it's the lovely world we live in...

fukc the paintball gun. i dont know about other states, but in florida and texas, you have the right to use lethal weapons...such as a gun if some as much as sets foot on your property or if you feel endangered in anyway. id wait for them and have the 12 guage aimed right out the window haha. it wouldnt kill them, just spray em pretty good with shot gun pellets. people are *** holes!

Unfortunatly in Alberta we aren't allowed to carry weapons I am thinking a night of drinking whiskey and waiting...Always happens on a Sunday...We have a 7mm rifle, but I know I can't fire it as it would dislocate my shoulder (I am very small but BIG attitude)...Someone mentioned pepper spray paint *****...might have to try those...[sm=pimp.gif]
