F$*&ING KIDS SCRATHED MY CAR!!!

[midnightp5]

These little shits are always playing road hockey, catch, baseball, skateboarding, or just plain shit disturbing around my car.

I live on a large court (dead end), so it's an attractive, large area for this shits to play.

Kids have hit my car with hockey sticks, base balls, tennis balls, I have even seen one of the kids get pushed into the side of my car (no damage on that one, thank God)

Last summer the kids were actually playing baseball with a HARDBALL, and an Easton aluminum bat, with everyone’s cars parked around the court! One of the genius kids nailed my fiancé’s car window (I don't know how it didn't break)

I have tried every thing, speaking with their parent (those of which I could locate), yelling at them, called the police. Nothing works!

Yesterday I woke up for work, and noticed a 7" scratch on my front drivers side fender.

I know they are just kids (lippy kids I might add) but this is getting ridiculous!

Time to take serious action. Parks are for kids play, not roads or dead end circular streets. These parents need a reality check.
The next time you see the kids playing by your car, tell them you want to speak with their parents so you know which kids belong to which house/parents. Calmly explain what you have witnessed in past and how you've been very patient but these kids are not respecting your property. Point out the scratch. At that point, you can get a feel for how the parents take this information - they may apologize and promise to keep their kids away from your car. If they give you attitude, tell them you will be watching carefully and the next kid whose ball, stick, or body touches your car, you will be calling the police to report it and possibly filing a claim in small claims court. Hopefully it doesn't come to this. If they still give you attitude, you may warn them that their car could end up scratched soon *wink*, see how they like the saying, "turnabout is fair play".
I tell you, some people just don't have common sense or respect for others' property. This really ticks me off.
I was one of those kids always playing street hockey here and there but NEVER went near peoples' cars out of respect that my parents taught me.

Good luck, Mark.

that's when you run them over and say "kids, didn't your parents tell you not to play on the road? well now you can reflect over that over the next 6 months as you recover from the broken bones and let the body cast do its work...."

call it tough love.........hahahahahaha.... http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif

I hate kids, I'm gonna get sniped, the day of my wedding!

If i were you, I've asked nice. I've notified the cops, I'm surprised they didn't do anything. So from now on I would warn them, that when they are out there, there are going to get the hose...1 warning.

Then everytime they are out these, they get a soaking, until they leave.

I bet a million bucks, that there parents live nowhere near the court, for there cars to get taken out, so they don't give a crap.

Like 03 said, roads are not for kids to be plaing in...what did the cops say anyways?

Too bad you already came out looking like an old fart ass and gave the kids hell. I would've been nice about it and even bring out pops for the kids to drink. Once they establish that you are a nice guy they would respect your car. I did this with the punk ass kids in my old Rexdale hood and they ended up not being so punk ass. Heck even I played road hockey in dead end courts when I was young.

Since you are already percieved as a grumpy old fart I would make an effort to furnish your court with very inhospitable objects. Drop pebbles all over the place so the kids can't run around. Throw down broken glass. Sit out on your front lawn smoking, drinking a beer and shoving you hands down your pants all while constantly yelling at the kids - even act like a pediphile - I bet the parents would care then. Send the kids home with bloody shins from slipping on spilt oil. Tell then you're gonna go beat yo their dad. Be a completely bad ass mofo of a neighbour and the kids will go somewhere else. Not enough Canadian take the law into their own hands - many of us just tattle tale on the cops - but the cops never do shit cause now there are two Krispy Kremes in the GTA.

Dave you crack me up.

I tried being nice for quite some time, but it didn't work.

lol. I was thinking of finding a bunch of older kids 13-14 year old, and paying them to kick the shit out of them. http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif (JK of course)

I like the pedaphile approach. I had the same problem untill I lined my curb and with dog and cat poo-poo from the neighbours animals.

I actually went to the parents door and told them about the situation. I am also a City of Brampton Youth Leader too so, I was rational and admitted I realize kids love to play sports, but do it in a more recreational setting.

What I did to the kids playing basketball on the neighboring driveway who didn't protect my car, was I called up Jamaican soccer friends to play a game of keep-ups occasionally, hitting the bastard neighbors $45,000+ Audi. Now which Caucasian neighbor in the wrong would come and cuss out some dreadlock black youth trying to make a point?

Call a few of us TPC bretheren up when you know where these kids live and we'll start some paintball or streethockey ourselves. OR when they play baseball or street hockey always be the intimidating roughouser adult who joins in so they will move someplace else by intimidation.

Hey Mike...

I don't worry about the black kids so much anymore, they stick to selling and smoking dope - it's the white kids that I'm worried about. White people have started to go postal in many States and I wonder if the Canadian White scene is gonna turn out to be as bad. I though drunk white people were bad enough but kids are now messing around with Special K and their daddy's guns. Some White kids are so desperate they have resorted to humping their own sisters and cousins. Just look at the &quot;Trench Coat Mafia&quot; and the havoc those White kids have caused! I'm almost afraid to call a White kid Kracker or Casper. White on White violence is also on the rise, even in the TPC we witnessed the hostilities between the Lyrical Crop Duster and Steel Town Hoochie Man. White people should just get back to their roots as being goofy, awkward, domestic car drivers.

What happened to the good ol' days when White kids were innocent and had Sho-Long haircuts, tight jeans, white Reebok runners, Hyper Colour T-shirts, and ate Kraft Dinner with cut up Hot Dogs and Ketchup garnish?

what about having a TPC meet on your street? haha, we could pack the whole street full w/pro's and could make it an effort to target certain houses (where these kids live) and park in their driveway and block their parents in for hours.

for added effect, we could all do oil changes (without the catch pan) on their driveways.

[feedb4ck]

okay, TPC street hockey meet on your street... when everyone is at home... maybe at night... we can be loud and obnoxious.... play with a nice puck and use some cars as nets or something... if you put it through the winshield, it's a goal!
