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. This post has been edited by MaskedMan: Oct 26, 2008 - 7:46 PM -------------------- |

Ok well I've began looking over my choices. I kind of feel like they are targeting me and I don't want to bring this kind of attention to the house. If somebody for some reason has a problem with me, I don't want it to get to the point of it affecting the other people who live in this house. I know, that I have done nothing wrong, however whoever is doing this is not confronting me personally about it so I can not deal with the situation at hand. I've considered moving to a new location again. I've been here for 4 months and already thinking of leaving. Garage parking isn't going to be a possibility, and the car is going to need to sit there for another few months atleast. I'm worried about even finishing the car. What's going to happen when I put the new radio in, or get it painted, or get the windows fixed? It could just happen again and I'll have more to lose. Wait... now that I think about it.. that car has had a pretty bad history. The car has been in an accident before, bad enough for the previous owner to want to part it out, but I bought the whole car as is and fixed it to driveable condition. He told me that the car had been broken into several times and has had the radio stolen from it 3 times I believe. Hmmm maybe the car is supposed to be dead and it can't escape death! It's like Final Destination!
