Angry Paintball To my DriverSide

So last night around 1:30am, I'm watching the tivo I had recorded of the all-star weekend festivities. Anyways, my black lab in the back started barking up a storm. At first I let it slide, and then I couldn't take it no more. I went out back, let him inside and that was that. A few minutes later, flashes of someone trying to break into my baby started to cross my mind or some other type of wrongdoing since my pup hardly ever barked for any reason. Needless to say, I had to go outside to take a look and sure enough, 2 white fresh paintballs were spattered on my truck. I quickly felt the rage boil inside of me. How could anyone be so jealous and do this to someone else’s property?? Lucky, I was able to wipe of the still wet paint, which is thankfully water soluble and no dent's or impressions were left on the truck...thank god whoever shot it couldn't afford a high powered paint ball gun!! Bottom line is, it's sad to think that we live in a world where people can't respect someone else's property. I know I would never consider ever doing this to someone else's property, just like everyone else in this forum!!

p.s. Sorry for the long post, but I just had to vent with people that would see my point.

You should find them and kill them. Thankfully it didn't dent. I used to do some really stupid stuff when I was younger, but I never touched anybodys car, because I know how pissed I'd be if someone messed up mine. Don't EVER touch a man's car.

well the good thing is no dents or scratches are there, and a good thing you were not a sleep to wake up to dried paint on your side of your truck in the morning. who knows how well dried paint would have came off?

glad your truck is fine, but hopefully those punk kids won't do it again! If they do, shoot back!

Those bastards. A real man would ring your doorbell and let you know what theier beef is, not cowardly trying to wreck something of yours to prove a point. Guaranteed it's either your wife's ex boyfriend or the teenagers down the street. In either case, I hope you catch them and teach them a lesson.

It really sucks to hear stories like that. At least your truck wasn't keyed the whole way down the side like mine was. Front to back, all the way down. Five other cars on my street were keyed also.

I've been surprised there hasn't been more Pain Ball mischief since it became popular

Yea, I hear you guys. Thankfully nothing worse did happen to my truck as I'm sure other thing's could have occured such as the case with ZAXJAX. I would have flipped if someone would have keyed my vehicle. As for the person responsible, today I found out that numerous vehicles in my neighborhood had been paintballed, so I know it wasn't someone with a personal grudge. Either way, my baby's staying in the driveway from now on.

kill. You are lucky they didnt dent. If they hit a softer spot or the gun was more powerful. It could have done some damage. Then you really would have had to kill. buy a shotgun so the next time will be their last.

Return fire with a glock. See if the little bastards try it again after a few slugs fly their way

Glad there was no permanent damage. Some kids in this area have been shooting windows on houses.
