Well, looks like they weren't happy that I removed the paint. Now I have slashed tires and they carved into the bedside paint. Looks like I need to step my game up.

t least get a shotgun or even a paintball gun, shoot at them

[70 Suburban]

DO THEY THINK YOU ARE INVOLVED?

WELL i HAVE STATED WHAT i WOULD DO. i WOULD HAVE TO GO TO WORK TIRED. PROLLY SLEEP IN THE CAB.

[VA72C10]

Wow, sorry to see/hear that...just stay safe...

[Mayo]

that sucks

[mvfd70]

Yeah and these are the people that the bailouts are helping too. Good, honest, hard working people get the shaft while these low life scums don't work and let the government give them all kinds of "assistance" while they deal drugs and kill each other and get innocent people involved. This just really pisses me off.

Check it out RatRod. Keep yourself and your family safe. Don't go getting vigilante justice and killin' one of those fools and end up doing 20 to life over this. Think carefully about whatever action you take. Good luck.

[jsbgump]

I would be sleeping in the bed and shoot every last one of them so this crap can't happen anymore

[ShowSS12]

I think you gonna have to much trouble with it, just sell it to me. I have a nice garage for it, and I will take it just like it sits.........

But if you do keep it time to get ready

[Skirkpat]

I noticed that none of them were man enough to come to your door to talk about it, they are the worst of the scumbags, little sneek theif cowards. Sad does not even describe it...Sorry that happened.

[dieselarmy13]

Dude. WTF?

[68Stepbed]

It's time for a video vigilante. Setup a hidden camcorder and use it against em.

[justtime520]

WTF? These mother fuc**rs, just a bunch of little kids

[see ten]

That sucks bro! I agree about setting up some surveillance. Any chance of you and your neighbors watchin the streets a couple hours a night?? Kinda an improvised neighborhood watch? Do you have any room to get that truck closer to your front door?? I feel for ya man.

That's a cool truck...but not cool enough to risk prison time for. Any chance of letting a detective set up some surveillance from your place?

[El Jay]

Man, that sux. I know that isn't much to say, but I can't really express myself on a family forum.

Do you know if these buttheads are just vandalizing the neighborhood, or are they just targeting you? The latter would be very worrisome to me.

Holy mother fkrs,,, I cant believe they did this just for fun. If you catch them I guarantee you they are minors and if you touch them you are the one that is going to have problems. I would not leave that truck out in the open the way you have it on the side of the street. I know here in miami someone would snatch it up.

[justtime520]

Here is some texas law you can use

Texas Penal Code ch. 9
SUBCHAPTER D. PROTECTION OF PROPERTY

Sec. 9.41. PROTECTION OF ONE'S OWN PROPERTY. (a) A person in lawful possession of land or tangible, movable property is justified in using force against another when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to prevent or terminate the other's trespass on the land or unlawful interference with the property.

(b) A person unlawfully dispossessed of land or tangible, movable property by another is justified in using force against the other when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to reenter the land or recover the property if the actor uses the force immediately or in fresh pursuit after the dispossession and:

(1) the actor reasonably believes the other had no claim of right when he dispossessed the actor; or

(2) the other accomplished the dispossession by using force, threat, or fraud against the actor.

Acts 1973, 63rd Leg., p. 883, ch. 399, Sec. 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1974. Amended by Acts 1993, 73rd Leg., ch. 900, Sec. 1.01, eff. Sept. 1, 1994.

[justtime520]

If you catch them in the act you can use a reasonable amount force ( a good old fashion tackle- and make it a good one) to stop there actions. But do whats safe bro!

[kevncar]

I can't believe this...you've gotta be about ready to explode!!!! Keep your family and yourself safe. After your explanation of what the letters meant, I'd be worried about the fact that they didn't repaeat thier stupid gang name, but they repeated the "everybody kills" part. An entire neighborhood watch sounds like a great idea!!! I think retalitation, although it's exactly what I would feel like doing, is only going to escalate this stuff. Unfortunately, it probablly is minors, and even if you caught them, the police would prbably just slap their hand and send them on their way. because they can't affod to fight it... That's the excuse they give around here.

Sorry you're going through this...and good luck!!!

[ratrod67]

Well, I spent the day today running around like a damn chicken with it's head cut off. Dealt with police, insurance people, got a storage building and took both my 67 and 71 trucks there. The Camaro will leave tomorrow and go to a friends shop for safekeeping. My wife is scared, my kids are freaked out and I'm F'ing PISSED. Not really the way I wanted to spend a Thursday which is also my 10th wedding anniversary. This time it was just meant for me since I'm the only one with any damage. I guess they wanted to see the handy work they did the first time and were mad that it was just about gone. This time I can't scrub it off. I just hate the helpless feeling that this has brought on. I'd like to load up and go looking for someone but what then? Bring myself to their level? Add fuel to the fire and then they do a driveby on my house? Looks like I'll be having sleepless nights while I watch over my property.

[allen123]

WTF I would feel sorry for those kids if that was my truck and i figured out who they were

I say put a hidden camera up. I hope they dont do anything worse. stay safe

[Johns72C10]

Now that your vehicles are moved, they may be pi$$ed and try to mark the house or somethimg even worse. I'd be prepared for anything and since you live in Texas, I'll assume you know what I mean. Stay safe.

justtime520 I agree with you
