I totally dont blame you for being mad. Someone earlier said something about talking to neighbors to see if anyone saw something, thats a really good idea.

Kids dont need BB guns...

Just think though even though right now those holes must seem like crators, They will look smaller in the morning. You guys worked so hard on your house and you should be very proud! This minor setback will seem so small compared to the selling price :animwink:

Thanks for all the support, everyone.

*begins yoga*

It's just a window.... it's just some siding... it's just a window... it's just some siding...

You know what I reallized- it's not the actual damage that bothers me. It's the fact that people think nothing of going around doing stupid crap like that.

At any rate, I had some chocolate and now I feel much better :D

Oh Erika! I am so sorry!
I know how you feel! There are 3 kids who walk our back alley from the apartment complex behind us. They have pellet guns, and have shot out the windows to our laundry room, shot up some cars, and lights, and set fire to our dumpster and trees...every time we call the cops it takes forever for them to get here....and the police are always nearby!
These kids have also shot at birds, I am afraid to think they are shooting pets too! The laundry room is right next to my big side window, where the cat perch is, and my babies sit there all the time, I am wondering how long it will be before they break our window:brick:

They shot at your house? I don't care if it's a BB gun - that is definitely not something to stand for. What did the police say?

Well, just be glad it was the house and not you!

Yeah, Dave, I remember the same situation with my dog. When he was a puppy, the neighborhood gangs tried to throw rocks at him and shoot him with bb guns. It was great to watch my dad haul them off by their ears and take them to their parents. One kid had an earring that I think my dad payed a little TOO much attention to... Anyways, I kinda wish I had some punk kids in my neighborhood right now that I could kick the crap out of, since I couldn't do it when i was their age.... :fork: :lookaroun

At least where we're moving, it's going to be warm, so if our windows get shot out there it won't be such a beal deal :p


So where might that be?
When I saw that you had started a thread entitled 'Fuming'; I knew it was something major. You are so sweet and don't get upset over petty things. I hope you and John can get the heck out of there and hopefully wind up somewhere where kids and BB guns don't go together.

Aw, thanks! Our street is so quiet and our neighbors are so nice AND John has helped most of them out at one time or another. So I am thinking it's probably not any of them and hopefully the people/person who did it won't be back.

We'll be moving to AZ this time next year :)

leaving chicago?!:cry:

Kids are getting way to bored these days. My sister, while at college, had her car window broken by a bb gun, along with TWENTY other cars. on valentines day.

while at work the otherday, I heard that several cars in the champaign and urbana area were broken in to and had windows shot out. over 120 total. unreal.

I hope all turns out ok, and if you ever need to yell and b*tch, we are always here :)

And I hope that kid did shoot his eye out. :mad:

Oh, Erika, Im so sorry to hear that this happened. I know its 'just' siding, and 'just' windows, but when you work hard for something, especially something like this that you do yourself, it has a huge value attached to it beyond what it cost. We just had the siding and windows done this past October, and we have become TOTALLY paranoid now. It doesnt help that we have a couple of little heathens living nearby who have a history of destroying peoples property. Halloween was a particularly stressful night...I 'patrolled' with a hockey stick :lol:

People just have no respect anymore. Several years ago, during a drought, our property caught fire because the man across the street sent his pyro son over to OUR side to set off his fire crackers, because he didnt want anything happening to his house. Im guessing the word "arson" wasnt in his vocabularly :mad: But what Scott said is sooo right. Karma has a way of coming back and biting people when they least expect it.

Good luck with the sale and the move! Im guessing you will be rooting for the Diamond Backs now
:lookaroun ;)

OOOH this reminds me of an important life lesson!
Don't sweat the petty things
and don't pet the sweaty things.

:)


I hope you feel better today:wave:
