So last night I go to my martial arts school to fill in for one of the other instructors. I park my car out front with the passenger side to the sidewalk. I’m there for about 5 hrs. Parents are dropping off and picking kids up the whole night. Its late by the time I’m done and I don’t even walk by the passenger side of the car. Come home and park the car in our garage.
This morning my husband points out the keying that stretches along the passenger side covering both doors. Had to of happened at some point last night. I did some Googling this morning just a few of the things I found:
Vandalism what is it?
The willful wanton and malicious destruction of the property of others.
It is a crime.
Who Vandalizes?
Some vandals work in groups. You may know some of the teens doing the damage. There is no one type of teen who vandalizes. They might be the smartest kid in school, or the kid who’s always in trouble. Most vandals are young people. Ranging from grade school age-to teens-to young adults.
Why?
Out of: boredom, anger, revenge, defiance, or association with friends.
Where does it happen?
Anywhere there are cars and parking lots. Schools and Campuses seem to be a playground for vandalism. Obviously because the concentration of young people of grade school age-teen-young adult. And its an easy way to get back at someone you don’t like.
How to instructions.
Are available out there on the best ways to vandalize cars, school property etc…. and how to get away with it. And you’re young so what are they going to do with you if they catch you?
What do these teens-young adults think of it?
“You are asking for it by driving a nice/expensive car.”
“By driving a nice car you’re saying “I’m rich so there”. They are saying “so there” back.”
“Daddy got it for you” so get “Daddy to pay to fix it up.”
“It still drives, doesn’t it? “
I could not believe some of the comments that I read . The scary fact is that these same teenagers will be voting in our next elections…
I drive a Honda Pilot folks. It is not new, but I take good care of it and keep it clean and orderly. Infact I just washed it this weekend. Needless to say I’m mad that someone would do this out of boredom or envy.
Boredom? Nothing to do. Oh, look a nice car lets scratch it. Anger? Jealousy? Envy?I don’t have a car lets scratch that one because they do? That car is nicer than mine. Haha. Now its not so nice anymore.
Honestly, does that make you feel better? Does it make you “cool”? How immature are you to deface someone’s property? Are you that envious that you have to destroy someones stuff because you don’t have it?
If you’re that bored and envious. Get a job. Get a life. Get your own stuff. Then some young punk can come along and show you how it feels to have things that you work hard for damaged.
