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.

being 18 this is pretty easy to figure out. Teenagers were def driving around with that rock in the back of a truck just looking for sh!t to smash. That picture of your two celicas modded right next to eachother just screams out that you love them. As hard as it sounds teenagers look to destroy that loved stuff all the time. When me and my boys ride around town we always hate on the group of identical civics with fart cans that love there civics to death do them part. I dont think this much different besides the fact that they had that rock and were intending on facking someones shiz up.

Def not racial, no spray paint, not enough damage, not pre-meditated.

If i was you i WOULD NOT make any indication that you were effected by the vandalism, if you put up a big fancy surveillance system with lights and cameras, whoever did this is going to see they accomplished their goal to hurt you and see the cameras and lights as a challenge for round 2. Brush your shoulders off and move on playa

Well, there didn't seem to be a car/truck, and plus the rock thrown at my convertible Celica was thrown at the passenger side window, meaning the thrower had to have been standing on the sidewalk. Also, look at the placement of the rock in the hatchback. It was thrown from standing from the sidewalk as well. The rock is to the left of the large hole in the glass, meaning that the rock came from the right side of the car. Spray paint wouldn't have affected the car much, cause well.. the car is primer and ready for paint soo... hahaha. It's easy to remove paint from glass, and as long as they don't use clear coat on the paint haha, I could have just resprayed over it. .

I don't think there should be this kind of hate in the world. The reason I choose to not worry about the vandals so much is not because I'm worried they will come back, because I already know I cannot avoid it even if they do. I can not control the actions of others, but I can control my own and how I react to their actions. Why should I let them choose how I feel? I feel great and they aren't going to change that. Anything can be taken as a challenge for them to do it again. Even by me not being bothered by it, can make them come back and try even harder to hurt me. There are always going to be haters, but I'm not going to be afraid to live my life because of them. I'm not afraid because I know I've done nothing wrong, and as long as I continue to live a good life, things will always turn out for the best .
