Infuriated. Got egged. $1200 in damage

Flushnismo · 09-04-2011, 03:25 PM

Okay, so some stupid kids in my neighborhood thought it would be funny to egg my car. About 9:30 at night I walked out to my car and see egg shells all around my car and about 5 eggs busted against my driver side and hood. I call the cops right then. When they arrive all they say is "sorry" pretty much. Someone else down the street had just been egged too and he had just left there.. I filed a report and washed my car immediately. I don't know what eggs they used but it stuck to my paint like no other. Took me a good 25min to get it mostly off. I ran my hand across where they hit and found that my paint had been chipped. I was SO MAD. I took it to the body shop the next day and got an estimate of about $1200. Which I will be paying for because they didn't find these kids. How the hell is this fair. Oh and the cherry on top is my insurance deductible is $1000..oh that's just fantastic.

Five of these round chips are on my car. They are about golf ball size and very noticeable.

I'll tell you the same thing I told Christian who had someone WALK on his car...

Start rolling around with a shotgun. Pluck off everyone you see. By the scientific process of elimination, you'll eventually get the fuckers that did this.

Fuckin people man.

Sorry to hear it br0.

I dunno man, 1200 is borderline, depending on the deductible and how much they will jack his rates up.

$1000 deductible. Not worth it.

Or more, if the rates went up. He could end up paying 200%+ of the bill.

I say we start a posse and hunt this fuks down!!

They actually have a suspect but refuse to give me any information. Probably a good idea because I don't want to accidentally break all their windows and leave their car on bricks.

That's beat... yeah besides the impact, eggs can do wonder to a car's paint if not washed off immediately... since it was the middle of the night, combined with the heat you are going to have some damage obviously.

Worst case senario is you pay to have it fixed and they never catch the f@gs... best case is they do and you eventually get reimbursed via court order or if your super lucky, the parents will settle.

Def might take a while. Good luck.
