OMG !!! Hopefully it was only the windshield and not any paint damage.
The hood and roof are being repainted now. The glass shards
sprayed everywhere and were like razorblades. They scratched
the crap out of the paint. It should be ready about Friday.
I have full coverage with no deductable on this car, so it's
not costing anything (except higher insurance premiums for
everyone in the area). Now my junky old Suburban only has
liability coverage, so I paid $200 for a new windshield today.
It's already installed and back home.
Damn, Brian. Who did you pi$$ off?
You know, that possibilty never occurred to me until the
investigator with the Madison Sheriff's Dept told me that
the nature of this crime pointed in that direction. The
responding Deputy and the follow-up from the investigator
were both excellent, by the way.
A couple of months ago a new Mercedes and a Lexus at
different houses where also vandalized one Friday night.
A screwdriver scraped over the doors and hood put several
thousand dollars in body and paint damages in each vehicle.
I knew about those prior crimes, so I assumed it was the
same infantile brats at work. I think it was brats because I
can't think of a motive for revenge against me. While this
isn't The Hamptons, I ain't exactly living in Da Hood. There
are some incredibly dysfunctional white-collar families in the
'burbs nowadays, and I know one is right down the street.
I have no doubt that spoiled, latch-key sociopaths think
this is hilarious fun.
Regardless of the motive, surveilance cameras with a
digital recorder system are on order and will be installed
soon. Certainly before the Saturn gets parked in the
driveway again.
With motion-triggered recording, I'll get
some idea of who's walking/driving the streets at night.
