Whole Day Was Thrown Off....

Truck is three months old. I worked hard to buy it. I work hard to pay the bill every month. I keep it clean. I wash it. I take care of it. I appreciate it. So yes, I was pissed off all day because someone ****ed with MY property. If being upset that someone ****ed with my stuff makes me a baby then I'm a baby.

Damage to the paint is not the issue, the fact toothpaste was spread on the truck is the issue. Its that people, regardless of age or income level, do not respect others property or simply do not care. This cost time and money to others. Perhaps Chrisj would like to park his truck outside, give out the address so someone can spread toothpaste on the hood. Then in the morning he can cheerfully clean it off while sipping on the morning coffee (or drink of choice)
My point is partly, that some of us act like these things are made of gold and if anything happens to the precious baby its the end of the world.
Its a truck
stuff happens
be happy theres no damage
help make it a learning moment for the kids involved instead of acting more like a baby than the babies that did the deed is my main point
or not...............................flame suit on

Those kids need some adult "guidance" for sure, but you know at the end of the day....you cant force people to care, so many dont these days. Kids will be kids and stuff happens. Its a Truck, and the toothpaste could have been paint.

I have a strong issue with the phrase "kids will be kids." Not long ago (Ok, quite a while ago) I was a kid. I was raised to respect authority, whether it was my folks, law enforcement or other "grownups." A large majority of my peers were the same. It just seems that things are moving more toward "kids will be kids" and "I'd rather have my kid be my friend" and the accountability suffers.
I can tell ya, I (and most of my peer group) would have never considered doing something like this, partially because we feared the repercussions.
Ok rant over, just felt like saying that, it is simply my opinion, not intended to be a factual statement.

If you know what night this is going to happen setup a couple of infared hunting trail cameras in your driveway. Most are camouflage, easy to hide and you can get decent ones for $100 or less. This way you'll get a nice picture of them and then all you have to do is show it to the authorities unless you know the kids parents and they'll actually discipline them.

i would be pissed too. some kids went nuts on my box with a black magic marker. took me a while to get it off and all the little scratches buffed out. now it's parked right infront of my bedroom window and it's always open.
