Oranges? Really? You're going to throw fruit at my car?

I walked outside with my Mossy 500a when someone threw a cup in my yard and was waiting to turn out of the neighborhood. You have far more self-restraint than I do. LOL
 
My buddy had a old s13 with fully built rb huge turbo and all the goodies. One night we were out by the porch with the paintball guns (we were on a team) and these 3 kids came up on their bikes and egged his car. We jumped in my truck chased them down and unloaded... needless to say we rode back with 3 new bikes and his car was never touched again. Probably not the best way to handle the situation but it sure felt good. (this was about 4 or 5 years ago)
 
This is Cloverdale, California the last city in Sonoma County. There's maybe 10,000 people here but it's only an hour and a half to SF.

It's very true that confronting them may only fuel the fire but I really felt like I couldn't do nothing at all. I figured getting real crazy on 'em would have sealed my fate.

I'm researching proximity sensors right now. I'm thinking Viper 5701. All I want is 2 zone proximity and inputs for later upgrades. Should I look elsewhere? I'm not how sure how fast alarm technology moves.

Atta' boy! Hell, if my neighbors make too much noise after 10pm, I'm outside with my PX4 Storm making inquiries. I need to move to the south....
 
Man your nicer than I am! If I caught someone throwing deal at my car, targeting it or not, I would hang them by their sack in my backyard. My car was egged once, I came un-glued.
 
Get a nice BB gun to go with the alarm. They aren't loud when you shoot them, but it sure does hurt to get hit with one. CO2 powered may help you shoot a bit faster and add some FPS to the BB :)

Yeah if you wanted gas blowback type bb gun, I would just get a electric one and just spray bbs at them with a high mag capacit with at least 250 fps. :)
 
Psh, they have to know who I am to sue me. That's why I said get one thats quiet. Just shoot them silently and from the shadows.
 
Ya screw that i would have smashed everyone of them lil pricks,even if it was my dd it's just the point.
 
I have the 571xv Viper for the last 5 years on my Sentra. It has never failed to go off when something happens. Plus it the remote starts going crazy, works just shy of 300 yards.
 
I used to chuck oranges all the time at cars when I was in high school. We would ditch school fill our back packs full of oranges and chuck them into traffic from behind a wall. Got chased once for about 30 miles before the guy gave up, then one time we were caught by a bunch of gangsters in a minivan, yes a minivan, they punched the crap out of my friend as were we trying to back up. It was hilarious.

Looking back, I don't know how I wasn't killed. I specifically remember one truck where we tagged the driver in the face with the orange, lucky shot but that guy was pissed. So now if it happens to me I chalk it up to karma.

Lol. I had a few things happen in my high school but never got me or friends beat up for it. Always had a bulletproof route of getting away or if they did catch us, the wouldn't know it was us and had no proof of it.

I've grown up but still see it happen plenty times.

Here's a story.

My younger brother when he was around 12 he would chuck rotten apples at passing cars in our fathers home town well 2/3's of the town is our cousins. So, everyone knew everything. Well he would sit atop of hill in the brush toss them at cars/trucks and duck behind a tree. One time he was very brave, he tossed them from a ditch along the freeway toss and dropped down into it, after he hit them. Well, after awhile he hit a guy's elbow in a white caddy, driver slammed on the brakes got out an chased him. The owner was 6'4 with white socks up to his knees LOL. My little brother's face like OMG took off like a bat out of hell. He hid in a old barn, but the driver didnt catch him but might've seen him ran, dont know. But I did see the driver go back to his car and drove off. When I seen my brother was sweating big time. ROFL No, I did not dare him to toss apples but our older sister and one of our cousins did :toobad: Apparently he it for attenion and that driver was a reliative closer hunting friend to our father.
As, my young brother got older he always got into trouble and never listen to anyone. At one point in time our dad was got real fed up with him. Before our father sent him to live with our mom out of state. He asked me to talk to him, tell him he should stop because he would end up in jail/prison. But our dad did talk to him also but nothing helped. He kept getting into trouble while living with our mother. He racked up record longer than my arm and he did end in jail/prison. Our mother and family kept trying to help him. Like we all did when he was little.
He did change when he was with his girlfriend, she us this but when he was around family he acted different. So, he moved in with her could be our mom talked her into, so he would straighten up but he did wanted to move out anyway, so he did it. After a few years, everything was great with him and his girl but apparently he couldnt hold down a job due to his rap sheet and his girl was getting tired of it. Our step father did get him a good oil rig job regardless of his record because there's people that had a record also. But, what I didn't know, is that my younger brother and Step dad didnt always get along. Because at the time I wasnt around that much because I got married was living with my baby momma. An also our half brother didnt either, he working on a oil rig with him too.
My both brothers got tired of it ( dont know why it's great paying job ) and both quit at same time, and my half had a record too. Go fig. :ohdamn: :toobad:
Both of their girlfriends was ticked off, our half brother was also in college that was why he quit. My younger brother's girlfriend kicked him out went live across the street with our half brother but they did see each other alot after, he got a job at plastics factory. They made up he moved back in with her, he got lazy quit that job supposedly but could be from his record. What heard from our mother. His girlfriend made him move back home, cause they cant live together but still saw each other.
Years later she wanted to break up him and he refuse to accept it because he was head over heels about her. . Our mother, has taked to him and did tell me how he was acting due to the break up and asked me to talked to him.
I told him :nono: he should never think about that, nothing or person is worth it. Regardless, the situtaion there's more things in life than to take ones life. I know that I did tell him, the right thing and I hope it would heard/listend to what I said and family too. Within that week, He took it his own life, she girlfriend didnt believed he would do it. Nobody knew it, except for his girlfriend
Same with our family, even though he had record etc.. He did get all with everyone. Our mother got hold of his emails, his ex. told us he sent her over 300 emails and one email was about she dare him to do it. :hmm:

Not sure if it was Karma, like you said. But it was tragic.
