Car Egging Necessary?!?!?

To respond to your question: *SOME* cops would say that some parents are bad parents if the kid keeps sneaking out of the house. (Now, we aren't talking about sleepovers here.* If I suspect my kid is not home, I would check the bedroom and if the kid ain't there, I would then call the police to inquire if they could have the kid picked up. I don't pull any punches with this crap.

Honestly, when is this crap going to stop happening? We have cops living in this area and if some kid starts damaging this cops house, the cop is going to view this as an attack on his family and assert his rights, etc. and most cops aren't going to be light either on the kid. Remember, Cops of all jurisictions are friends with one another and they HELP one another out so Im afraid some of these kids are going to get hurt one day. I won't feel sorry for the kid, but I'll feel badly for the parents that have to bail the kid out or even have to fork over the money for a good attorney.

One of my neighbors said that one day, some kid is going to get hurt badly. Think about it: if some kid egged another kid's prized car, that victim is going to find the kid and really HURT him badly. It takes one bad apple to spoil the other apples, so to speak. Im waiting for the day when a kid gets hurt after being caught in the act for me to say: I knew it would happen.

Some parents need to get out of bed and check on their kid to see if the kid is IN the house or has snuck out.

 

This stuff has been going on since the beginning of time. Doesn't make it right nor does it minimize the inconvenience. I live on the corner and have been egged three times in the last 18 years. It's a crime of opportunity and chances of catching anyone is slim to none.

You certainly have a right to be pissed off, but you'll get over it. Make your police report, as I did the first two times, and then let it go. It's not worth the eggache.

Same thing goes for pumpkin smashing, which happened to my neighbor this weekend. Sure it would be great to catch someone but if you don't see them doing it you're more than likely s@#$ out of luck. Even then you'd have to catch them or know who they are.

Redon is right, buying eggs is not a crime. I wouldn't want the cops stopping by my house after I sent my kid up to get tomorrow mornings breakfast. At this point you've already spent more time on this then it took to clean your car. I'd much rather have the cops out looking for that burglar dude.

 

Cap - I've said it before and I'll say it again; one night some punk is going to visit the wrong house on the wrong night and there will one less kid to graduate. That's not a threat, it's just plain fact. Crime is on the rise in this area and is getting more brazen by the day. Day-light aremed robberies only happen in the inner city, right? Daylight home invasions don't happen here, right?

Folks are getting jittery and a bump in the night is nothing to brush off anymore.

 

this is the only place we disagree- i WOULD want the cops to ask me about it, and if I have an explanation, no problem. glad they are on the side of helping residents track down brats that do damage to our property. I my kid didn't come home with a dozen eggs, then he'd have some 'splainin' to do...

 

I have extensive investigatory skills. It's obvious that a flock of chickens flew over your house.

 

I have to agree with redon1 on this one. If the parent asked the kid to bring home the eggs, then all of them should arrive home. If the parent didn't ask the kid to buy eggs, then the kid ain't gonna bring home any for the family.

But sadly, as one of my co-workers said to me today: there are too many "crooked" parents who are willing to "cover up" for their kid. No one likes taking responsibility anymore if they accidentally OR willfully breaks something that isn't theirs.

 

Crooks often are caught on camera and arrested. Coincidence? I think not. Still having crime is irrelevant.

 

There are varying degrees of fun when it comes to throwing eggs: throwing away, throwing at my wife, throwing at cars, at houses, at strangers, at the Paparazzi, or my favorite- throwing just as they are hatching. I still can't believe that the collective whole of the forum still have not asked this question: Were they local brown, jumbo white, or organic? I would argue that these "criminals" might also be environmentally conscience, therefore they selected organic eggs...knowing that organic eggs will not harm the paint, siding, black top, grass, hydrangeas and might even add "sheen" to your existing finish.

 

Wrong...All eggs will damage the paint. Its the acidic part of the eggs...doesn't matter if its organic or not.

 

Hope, this doesn't happen in our neighborhood.

Those must be some trippy eggs if they contain all that acid. I would argue that the biological elements of an egg would immediately break down upon fracture thus minimizing the affects, if any, of the egg actually damaging your car. Your vehicle is subject to a much harsher environment from its every day use: exhaust from other vehicles, acid rain, road debris, salt, sun light, gravitational pull, the force, etc. One time, I was demonstrating my dance moves at this old age home and this one lady said that I reminded her of Fred Astair. What does my dancing have to do with eggs? Absolutely nothing...

flynnibus, just curious do you think a perp could hit a surveillance camera with an egg from 50 yards out?

I guess it would depend on wind conditions.

Also, if you threw an egg at an electrified fence will you get scrambled eggs?

How about potatoes? Can they be electrified into hash browns? Just saying, electrified fences definitely are a deterrence, I am just wondering about other creative uses. (humm, how would you get breakfast out of an electrified field?)

 

agfm, CLEARLY your account has been hacked by sevenzero3...

unless you are leej in disguise, back to haunt us!!!

vampire

oh and if the field is a grid? throw batter, get WAFFLES.

 

Waffles!

Has anyone thought of getting DNA off the egg shells?

[redon, don't bring up four letter words, last time we went down that path we got in trouble by the admins]

 

party er.... lol

 

Capricorn - Sorry your house & car were egged.

If you are going to look into a surveillance system, we have the Lorex Model # CVC6995HR, it pretty clear picture quality see link below:

If you go with this type of package ( Model No: SG19LD804-161R) you can "upgrade" to the night vision camera, see link

I like the Lorex brand because some of their cameras look like outdoor lights and are not obvious. Sadly I have to say the surveillance system has been a worthwhile investment.

 

Why would you want to conceal a surveillance camera? Its presence is the deterrence!

Maybe if you have your cameras feeding data to a well armed drone I could understand, but that opens up a whole other can of worms. (and I have no doubt the pea has access to drones )
