Going with 69Chevy's thinking,
every car in Washington, DC should be keyed AYE???
My broker lost my entire savings, I didn't mess up his Mercedes.
But the wood chipper is still my preference.
No one should be vandalized because of their profession.
I woke up this morning got my uniform on and saw on the news
Iran fell the hell into the earth.
As a veteran, I went to work with a big smile on my face.
Hopefully, the actor has a continued life of misery. Sounds like
he headed down the path of self destruction anyway just at others expense.
That police privelege everyone thinks is so great has it's hidden costs that the public will never understand.
Any record is available to the public including cell phone numbers why do you think you get these campaign and solicitors calling on your cell#.
I would be more offended if the guy just showed up with his RC airplane and presumed he was entiltled to fly it over you fields. At least he asked. Don't hate because he has the ability to obtain the same info your entitled too with a little more work. We just have it at our finger tips thats all.
The blame the guy for what he does for a living, vandalism mentality hands down has infected the angry generation. Now I see where some of the thinking comes from.

FYI, I have always been on the national and Pennsylvania 'do not call' list. The only random calls I receive are the ones mis-dialed.

By WE do you infer you're a cop also?

We includes me, I am on the job.
You wouldn't know it when I'm off unless I told you.
And then you may not believe it.
I blend well.
What I have to do on the job is because the residents want me to do.
They sleep very good knowing philly is only a stones throw away.
That's what I'm paid to do.
When they wake up in the morning they don't want to find their car missing or their garage rifled through.
It is a powder keg brewing next door.
Key your car? You be lucky that's all the angry flash mobs did in philly.
They'd break out your window while your enjoying a sporting event and defecat on your front seat just because they can.
So would you rather have an officer call to fly a plane over the fields or the other senario.
I'm waiting for the earth quake next door.

Trust me when I say! The person will end up getting his one day. Do you have classic insurance they will cover the damage I know no one likes to hear that but that's why we get it so we don't have to worry about our toys.
Forget about it and go get it fixed..
Peace to you
Frank

My neighbor caught 3 kids knocking the windows out his vehicle in his own driveway. He caught 1 of them and held him for the Police. He ended up spending the night in jail for assault and nothing ever hapened to the "young offender". He never layed a mitt on the kid either. Political Correctness is a culture thats guiding us right into the sewer.

Wow, reading everyone’s bad experiences brings back a lot of bad memories from my late teens and early 20’s. I have a 71 big-block that I don’t let too far out of sight. I had a small-block 71 for a daily driver for a couple of years back in 1979. It was keyed one night while parked in my parent’s driveway, someone splashed paint thinner on the hood in the parking lot of the grocery store I working at in college, and someone broke the passage window while I was at the movie theater that same year. I don’t know that it’s a generational thing and that things are worse now…there are d%ckheads now and there were d#ckheads 30 years ago. Couldn’t have anything nice then…can’t have anything nice now without some jealous lazy jerk missing it up for giggles and laughs.

Very sorry to hear about your car and I hope you are able to have it repaired back to the condition it was once in.

As far as the ridiculous comments by one who loves to bring his daily misery down on everyone - Block him. Works for me.
