sounds like a pissed off ex-GF. are you the "player" type?

 

I agree with everything you said and applaud you for your "cant do anything about it now and why give them the satisfaction of getting pissed" attitude. Probably the best way to handle it.

Of course, I also believe a listing of every employee on duty that day and a narrowing down on the time it likely occurred and where they should have been (on/off lunch) in a desk drawer wouldnt hurt either

Just a simple list. Put a 1, 2 or 3 by each name: 1 = no interaction other than normal supervisory, 2 = Some supervisory interaction but not percieved as being negatively recieved, and 3 = supervisorly interaction that may have been negatively recieved. The type of person that would do this type of thing is likely not the sharpest pencil in the cup. You would be surprised how often they are completely surprised when they are caught in the act by what later appears to have been a complete coincidence but in reality was due to the manager vectoring thier attention towards an employee who through thier own actions called attention to themselves and warranted additional observation. In short, throwing the stuff on the car was a stupid thing to do, with no assistance from you they will continue to do stupid things.

Not to get nutz about it, but having the info may help somewhat in narrowing it down if it happens again.

Nothing you can do about it. This is the type of thing we agree to deal with when we agree to become a boss.



And while "could it be a girlfriend" is a very good lead to investigate, that would likely have occurred at home, where the message would have been more personaly received. The act is supposed to "send a message", does them no good if you get the wrong message (as in why do it if he will just think its a disgruntled employee).

 

love your avatar...



To the OP: they have small cameras now that you can mount IN your car and they are motion sensor sensitive. If you bought a couple and mounted them you might get lucky and have police evidence to catch the bums that having nothing better in life then to do this. I feel for you...I would be so upset.

 

Im amazed you kept your patience. Once a kid drove past me when I was parked on the side of the road, and threw a mcdonalds apple pie at my car. Needless to say I followed him to where I could block him in, dragged him out of the car and taught him a lesson in respect.

 

The good news it was not keyed. Get a camera in that parking lot and catch that son of a bitch.

 

Just keep a good coat of wax on her,that egg yolk can strip paint.

 

I applaud your good nature as you are a better person than many of us would be in similar situations. But, this is going to continue happening to you by whomever is doing it. Are you prepared to just allow it to continue and you to continue to have to repair that damage as it gets worse and worse? Whether you get a camera system or pay some kid to hide out in another car with a camera...you are going to have to do something to put a stop to this. Sorry to say it, but some humans just don't deserve your hoping that they'll get tired of it and go away. I understand totally that there's no need to get into a physical confrontation with the slimeball even if that slimeball needs a good attitude adjustment of the physical kind. But, some days in the gray-bar hotel are surely needed as well as paying you back for the damages. There is a limit on what you can put up with!

 

You sound like a good man and a professional. The skunk who did that will be on the look out for your reaction, without one you got him.

 

Time to kick some a$$

 

If the eggs were thrown at your car, they could have damaged the paint. Take a magnifying glass and look at the spots were the eggs were on the car. You will see very fine spider web like cracks in the paint. They are difficult to see. If the car had a metal body instead of fiber glass, eventually these spots would show rust. I would look it over very closely. This is no joke. My neighbor had this happen to his new Mustang and paid $2500 for a new paint repair. One would not think that eggs could do something like that but it is a fact.
