Celica Hate (Update 10/26/08), Smashed my window (now with pictures) Options

[MaskedMan]

Haven't been on here much lately, but I thought I'd post an update.

About an hour ago, somebody or most likely a group of people threw a large rock (bout the size of a basketball) into the rear hatch glass of a Hatchback Celica which I'm building for my sister. The rear glass is completely shattered but luckily none of the parts inside were stolen. The rock landed on top of an ST205 front bumper core support and smashed a 96+ front bumper I had in the hatch. It's too heavy to lift the rock out with all the glass in the way right now. Already filed a police report.

My convertible Celica had a smaller rock next to it (about the size of a softball). The rock appeared to had been thrown at the window in attempt to break it, but they did not succeed. The window is chipped up, but not cracked. The Convertible top is barely damaged, the rock seemed to have just knicked it a bit. The Celicas were parked out on the street in front of my house both right next to each other.

The main question that was brought up by the officer was if I had any enemies up here. I don't believe I have any enemies up here. I actually don't believe I have many enemies at all. The rocks that were thrown at my car were not from around the house. They were rocks that seemed to be part of a sidewalk curb or construction. I drive responsibly everywhere I go, I don't speed or drive recklessly. All I do up here is go to work and come home. I don't hang out with certain people or dress any certain way where people would relate me with other people. I'm kind of having a hard time understanding why my cars were targeted. I live at a dead end street on the top of a hill. Whoever had done this must have known where my cars where at and even bothered to carry rocks from another location just to throw at and into my cars.

I always thought in a situation like this, I would feel depressed, or full of revenge. But I'm really not either of those. I actually feel somewhat fortunate that my cars are still here and not stolen, and nothing inside was stolen. None of the exspensive parts were damaged much. There's really nothing I could have done to avoid this either, so I'm not really beating myself up taking blame for anything. All I can do is get the glass repaired and move on with my life. I can take pictures of the damage tomorrow when the sun is out.

Sorry to hear that happened...I know I wouldn't be as relaxed about it as you are, so props for that. Good thing though, is that they didn't come after you, just your cars. I'd probably put a camera or at least a light with a motion sensor out front, just in case they try something again.Also, do you have a garage?

Thanks man. I will look into a security system like that. We do know that whoever did this was walking because the house across the street has a motion sensor light for their driveway that turns on when a car drives past on the street. Idk why it's so sensitive, but whenever I drive past at night, the light turns on. Which makes me think these people disliked me even more because they were willing to carry a rock that large up a hill by foot just to throw into my car.

As for the garage, the house does have a garage, but I'm only renting a room in this house, so I do not get garage parking. It's a 2 car garage and the renters downstairs get one side, while the landlord gets the other side. I don't even get overnight driveway parking because of our schedules, we would end up blocking each other in on some mornings.
