2 months later, we managed to catch 3 kids egging our neighbor's cars. 9 of us in my garage gave chase and cornered them on foot and in cars and served them a pretty bad beating. I know it's wrong, but that's how it's done here. Funny thing is, when the cops arrived nobody said anything.

thats awesome... im sure they learned their lesson
i also dont understand why kids throw stuff at cars... eggs, snowballs... honestly, at the end of the day, what have they accomplished? do they feel good about themselves that they through an egg or snowball at the car?

This is beautiful. You always dream about having this opportunity, but these dreams don't always materialize. You, my friend, are a lucky man.

I had a '93 prelude SI that I cherished as it was my first car. I used to do construction work for some extra money and was installing some insullation for a contractor over Christmas vacation close by my parents house. It had snowed a few days earlier and a snow plow had pushed most of the snow to the side of the road.

As I was going home I see three kids poised with "ice balls" that they had picked off the side of the road. I did not have time to slow down so as I passed they launched them at me hitting my hood, fenders, and windshield. I was already adrenaline high as I knew my deductible would eat up any money I had earned that christmas. I slammed on the breaks and yanked the emergency brake and was already out of the car as I see the kids running down the side of the hill. For about 30 seconds I felt like Carl Lewis with my legs and arms pumping... even hurdling a low fence at the end of the hill.

Low and behold when I caught those ba$tards and shoved them face first into the snow, it turns out I knew all three from high school. All had been on the swim team with me. Immediately I turned and walked back to my car as I knew who their fathers were. I neglected to call the police as i figured that their parents would adequately take care of the situation including the repair of my car.

I actually had to argue with their parents to get my car fixed. One father went to the point to even say..." their is no way that dented your hood... i made a snowball and threw it at the side of my buick and it never made a dent" Needless to say I was furious and had to threaten to call the cops on them if they didn't fix the problem.

I have been egged twice already!! The kids that kept doing it left the area thankfully. They always used 6 or 7 eggs too..kinda sucked.
You knew who the kids were and didn't do anything? If anyone egged my car, they'd be puking/$#itting eggs for a month.

there is no such thing as karma.

sorry to those of you that depend on "karma" to get retribution, or rewards for that matter.

life is what you make of it, not what karma delivers.
