That sucks man. time for a stake out.... with a tire iron

too bad you can't sleep in the car, but you can certainly sleep in your friends van that is parked behind the 8.

You know it happens early morning. Don't be a sleepy head. Good Luck.

kersh4w 04-27-2009 07:24 PM

yeah, on wednesday i think i'll be looking into gun stores for a beretta 92f, might as well get the gun im going to qualify with.

i ordered the shock sensor for the OEM alarm. it'll be here wednesday. i'll probably be putting up flood lights or cameras on that day too.

i just had replacement tires put on the car. $423 to replace the two rears. gieco is going to cover $110 of that, supposedly. $55 for the shock sensor. $100 for the cameras. $650 for the beretta? this asshole is costing me a lot of money. and more importantly to me, peace of mind.

as it is, im setting my alarm early tonight and i'll keep a watch on the morning hours. i have my air rifle, but as long as its semi-dark it should look legit. (gamo 220) and as i really dont have any intention of shooting anyone it works just as well. since its pretty hefty, the rifle butt makes a pretty decent melee weapon. so lets hope i dont wind up in the hospital tomorrow morning.

this is stupid.

rotary369 04-27-2009 08:39 PM

good luck.. hope that bitch winds up in the hospital tomorrow morning... or in the hands of cops.. that works too lol

Hmmm....sounds like you have something to tell him :spank:


:P

If he could screw my gf from Maryland to Utah I would have to give him props then I would call Ripley's Believe it or Not

wtf? Again ?

wow. That person REALLY hates you !

Stop fuxking other people's gf man ... seriously ...

myriadshalaks 04-27-2009 11:02 PM

NOOOOOO. that sucks, man.

Detrich 04-28-2009 12:00 AM

suxors... sorry to hear about what happened...

did both times happen around the same time? are you able to establish a pattern? if so, a stake out might do the trick.

XlYesterdaYlX 04-28-2009 11:30 AM

that sucks...but i dont know why they left those bottles at the top lol...

Detrich 04-28-2009 01:02 PM

the bottles seem like an exclamation point- meaning it was deliberate.

if u remember if they hit around the same time, then do a stake out... but, be prepared and have a few ppl with you and have a plan as how to detain them without hurting them. (u don't want a lawsuit or criminal charges for harming them.)

post the video once u nab the fuckers so we can enjoy the bust.

Ace of Spade757 04-28-2009 01:24 PM

Damn bro, hope you catch them. Check into the local car shops, though. Maybe someone will start snickering when you walk in and give themselves up.

Mugatu 04-28-2009 01:25 PM

You might also consider picking up a cheap cover for the car.

at least that is an extra step that the vandals need to overcome that they will either have to skip because it's troublesome, or add time to their crime and give you better odds of catching them.

kersh4w 04-28-2009 01:39 PM

if it happens again, i'll just park at my friends house a few blocks over. nice morning jog and what not.

i slept light tonight and checked every few hours, especially the morning hours. no show.

but thats a good thing.

and im pretty sure i know who it is. its the son of this jamaican family that lives down the street. they are piss poor and just very disagreeable people in general. their father (who is a tool too) does his oil changes and im sure he does not dispose of the oil properly. we've never got a long, and one time i caught one of the boys (boys being relative, he is 20something) taking pictures of my ex-gf when she would get out of her car whenever she'd wear a short skirt. lets say i had some choice words to say about that. the father kept telling me its not illegal to take pictures, i kept telling him harassment was illegal and i'd call the cops next time it happened. that nearly ended in a fist fight. that was over a year ago however. but just goes to show.. the family is a bunch of asshats.

Atilla 04-28-2009 01:44 PM

Ok...so you've located a possible suspect...

now move on to step 2 of your plan :suspect:


May i suggest "Atilla's 3 step plan to Success"?? :)

:ar:

kersh4w 04-28-2009 01:47 PM

lolol.

this is twisted, but im hoping nothing happens to them. LIKE THEIR HOUSE ACCIDENTALLY BURNING DOWN. because it would get pinned on me.

RIWWP 04-28-2009 01:47 PM

I feel for you man, dealing with similar crap myself. Passive non-stop Surveillance is the way to go. My entire yard / driveway will be covered in non-stop video shortly. If you go with the wireless camera option, see if you can get a solid signal putting the camera in your 8 looking out one of the two rear door windows (whichever makes sense for the previous pourings). Face shot right up on them is the way to go. Another option from cheap radioshack components is putting together a motion detector wired to an air horn or something. Scare the piss out of them when they get close.

Might be 2 different people, but someone IS shooting our dogs (pellet gun), on top of 2 vehicle break-ins, so it's hard to make this assumption any more.

dillsrotary 04-28-2009 02:05 PM

I give you credit for staying some what calm, I would have done something stupid and rash by now.

I think you really pissed Rotard off.

You can train a guard dog to silently watch until someone starts messing with your car, then he'll need some stitches.

kersh4w 04-29-2009 09:54 PM

hey, thanks for that link. i've always liked shiba inus (2 different friends both have them) but they are a bit on the small side for me. they look similar, but then also have a lot of the attributes which i admire in german shepherds.

thanks again.

and lol @ pissing off rotard: lol:

Mazurfer 04-29-2009 10:02 PM

Damn, that sucks! I'd be looking in the neighborhood to see who changes oil and leaves it in milk jugs, that would give you a real good idea. Hell, look at the label and see what brand, then if you see someone changing oil, putting it in the same type of jug......I'd go have a little talk with them.

DOMINION 04-29-2009 10:12 PM

This is why I do not park in my drive way or out in the street. I'll stick with scraping everytime I go up my drive way lol I also hated living in apartments too.
Sucks man. Hop you get your ride fixed.

White_Shadows 05-01-2009 01:55 PM

LineX the bottom of your car and scrape away. I will NEVER park my car in the street. That is just asking for it. OR if it is your house chisel down the driveway so you can drive up it haha. You got that not so pretty looking bmw up there. The RX-8 will get up there.

kersh4w 05-01-2009 07:48 PM

that bmw rides a lot higher than the rx8. and it scrapes too. but not that bad. my brother just puts thick cardboard down.

and yeah, i got my tires replaced so im good to go. the only thing is that the tires are brand new. so im having some traction problems around some turns that are not that serious at all. i think i need to do a little burnout to get that finished layer off.

nycgps 05-01-2009 11:32 PM

new tires has a coat of lube on them so they wont "crack" in storage. thats where you get your slippage from.

It takes a couple hundred miles to wear them off.

kersh4w 05-02-2009 11:30 AM

i've put at least 200 miles on them since monday.

and i did a little "traction test" where i "failed" to gain traction.

hopefully that will help things out.

chico elder 05-02-2009 12:51 PM

Sorry to hear what happened. This is not just random vandalization (same car 2x?). Only thing I can think of is a scorned woman or someone that just wants to make your life a living hell. Did you fire someone at work?, Your daughter win a beauty pagent over some nieghbors kid who is obsessed with winning? kick someones puppy? I had green house paint poured on my old car along with slashed tires. (That's a story for another day) So I know how you feel. The inexpensive fix get some motion lighting outside your house. Also you may want to try a car cover - some have the ability to run a wire underneath so you can put a lock it on. Or park so you can see your car outside your bedroom window. Or all three. I also know that if you talk to the police they usually have some ideas as well. They can also tell you if this has happened to anyone else. Keep you car clean just in case the opportunity for fingerprints do arise. Good luck.

lone_wolf025 05-02-2009 10:34 PM

The cams in combination with the floods are a good idea. Capture them on vid, then (depending on the damage) take it to the cops or out of their hide. Though as a future Marine you'd be expected to take the high road...which just means you don't personally take it out of their hide...

DaAznKnight 05-03-2009 12:22 AM

I recommend the floodlights, except set the circuit to trigger gunfire noises. He won't come back unless he's stupid.

I would be glad to sit out there with Kitsune. When the fuckers rolled up to pour more oil on the car, he could run up and ask for a pet while I beat the shit out of them. (then again, I have seen him show his teeth at a person I didn't trust; he just might take a chunk out of someone...)

Some seriously messed up fucker resently threw a quarter at my daily after HE, very very deliberately, cut me off. Left a dent (with little ridges). I will admit I occasionally may cause others to get mad, but I did nothing to this guy except pass him after he cut me off. I didnt realize what he threw at me until I got home. Now I have to go find him and have a little discussion. I will find him.

What is wrong with people?

kersh4w 05-03-2009 11:44 AM

lolol that picture is awesome. "huh?! what is that?!"

i think a lot people have issues with their self esteem. so they try to bolster their self image by damaging other people's property. and thats fucked up, with this economy he shouldnt just be throwing money around like that.

04RX8man 05-03-2009 01:00 PM

for a small fee I'll sit out side with "the destroyer" (aka my 1/2" torque wrench) and wait for the little bastards but possibly blood on the car this time but it washes off!

Moon Assad 05-03-2009 07:41 PM

Well, that really sucks. If I had a suspect id poor oil on there car then knock on there door in the morning and tell them that it must have been the same guy that hit your car, I spotted the oil on your car driving buy, it seems to be going around the neigborhood, dam kids. See what there reaction is, im sure if they didnt do it youl now and just help him clean it off of his car, no big deal, friend thy neighbor. If after that you figure out that it was him or his kids then all bets are off. I always wanted to try mixing up 4 gallons of 2 part foam in a 5 gallon bucket and poor it into a sun roof before it kicks. Ive never had my car vandalized luckly but an eye for an eye. I can bet after getting the 2 part solid foam out of there car id say there not going to mess with you again, hey if they do your gona have a camera settup ready to catch them in the act. You can always settup a cheap web cam in your house window with motion lights on the outside after the fact. Stay 2 steps ahead.

kersh4w 05-03-2009 10:23 PM

lol i wish. but i'll take the high road. lets see what happens in the coming weeks though.

Jindos and Shibas look similar but Jindos are larger. I've seen Jindos that are almost as large as Akitas.

What are you talking about?? I didnt say I was going to beat the crap out of him or anything.

kersh4w 05-04-2009 11:33 AM

guys, i know carbonrx8 in real life. he is a really level headed dude. he is not someone that would do the eye for an eye, slash their tires and pour oil over their car. its just frustrating, i mean hell. i WANT to beat the crap out of whoever did this. but just because we both want to, doesnt mean we will.

dillsrotary 05-04-2009 11:46 AM

I cringe everytime this thread gets bumped because I think "oh man don't say it happened again"
