Default no racing, but chasing.. craigslist gone wrong

So.. the police just left, my wife is pissed, yet laughing.. and i have a new hatred for ghetto civic kids. I don't believe in labeling everyone in the civic/crx/budget fwd community ghetto, but we all know its there.

so... being i had some old civic items for sale, i decided to post some rims, an exhaust, and shocks from an old civic build i used for autocross.

The young man, who we will call, Homes G decided he wanted to buy my rims. 500$, old school blitzs, with very very worn hoosiers,

We deiced to meet at my house at 10am, him living about an hour away. I can't fit 4 rims in an s2000, and my truck is in the shop.

he called me at 8, asking me to meet him half way, he couldn't afford the gas. I was already annoyed, and said no, and we had a back and forth.

the entire time he spoke like a fourteen year old rapper, i couldn't understand half the shit that was being said, then i said... "dood, if you seriously cant afford gas, don't buy car parts and waste my time, goto work or something"

this didn't sit well with "Homes G" and he decided to get loud, and i hung up on him, he called back 9 times before i realized i couldn't shun him from my phone for life.

shunned...

did it stop, no..

two hours later i hear a knock on my door, but heard an exhaust before that. Put two and two togther. Not good, told my wife to go upstairs and i got my gun out of the safe. ( legal, px4 beretta )

Dood started slamming on my front door, so i looked out, ratty civic hatchback with his buddys in the car, and what do i see..

he has a baseball bat with a bandanna wrapped around it.

yay..

So we had the police on the line as he to slammed on my door. His buddy's yelling "bitch something, etc, egging him on"

He then decided to take his bat and crack my wife's flower pot on the steps.. he didn't swing, he.. like the bitch of the man he was took the bat and kicked it into the flower pot, just barely smashing it.

At this point i was VERY VERY eager to open the door and show him what looking at a loaded gun was, but.. i decided to open my window and ask him what the f**k he do you think your doing. He called me some dirty names and asked me to step out, step out "son".

So i start filming "homes g" as he threaten me on camera, holding a bat at my front steps, trying to be as cool as he can be.

Sirens, he BOLTS to the car leaving the bat, actually did this gay little wrist flip thing with the bat that me and wife could not stop laughing at, really good stuff.. and got in.. peeled out and was promptly chased my police for all of thirty feet.

At this point me and my wife are rolling, my stomach is in knots not out of fear but pure pain of laughing so hard.

Police come, i give statements, "homes g" is arrested, i give my flash card to the kick ass policeman who also had a hell of a good time making fun of this kid..

His two buddy's were also arrested, the police wouldn't say what for but i dont think it was over this, warrants or drugs something, they went threw the car top to bottom.

Towed his car.. end of a fun morning..

I asked when i can get the film back, and someone will call me from the prosecutors office and let me know, i told them i had some wedding videos on there i really needed, i will make sure to upload it ASAP the second i get it.

well that was my morning, i had a hoot.

lesson learned, when dealing with dumb ghetto kids off craigslist, don't provoke them.. they might just go and crack your flower pots. =)

indeed, lol, i don't know about "old fart" I'm 28, but i think the matter is over.

We will see, I'm gonna guess there will be a few court dates, all that fun.

I decided not to sue for the 10$ flower pot, =)

I never let people know where I live. Im 25 and have a house of my own. Nice area but you never know who will come back later. I also have a Glock 9mm I keep close for that, just in case. Its always best to have a little back up. Glad to hear it all went ok for ya.

Yeah thats pretty dangerous having him know your adress, might be time to get some security cameras installed. If he doesn't come back, his buddies might.
