Okay random,

Woke up this morning and our house had been T.P'd we thought it was my sisters boyfriend and his friends and it was kinda funny, until we found the lotion smeared on the sidewalk and the words "we hate you guys" carved into the sidewalk but what looked like a rock. So it wasn't my sisters BF. He wouldn't do something like that.

But I know who would!

Now we have a sidewalk that has words carved into it and lotion stained. (Did I mention we rent????) This is not going to end well.

The thing about it is I'm more upset about the sidewalk then I am about the words on it. I am SO OVER THEM!!!! I really want them to magically forget us and forget where we live and that we exist. They run from us when they see us at the store anyway so it shouldn't be too hard.

I want them to quit bothering us, I'm thinking of investing in a paint ball gun :)

I would resist the paint ball gun, instead I would call the police and report it. you don't want to put yourself on thier level plus you could get arrested and I'm sure they would enjoy that emencely. I have had the same thing happen in the stores though, it bothered me for a while untill I built up a support group around me. If they resort to vandelism to get thier attitudes accross, that proves you were right in the first place. Could have been worst! keep your car's in a well lit area or someplace with security cameras.

Man, I thought my old Pastors wife and her Tantrum was bad....But some people are just STUPID and retarded. Take pictures and document everything...it may help you prove your case if they resort to anything more extreme.
I hear you though....I too wish my old church would just forget I exist. I hate running into people and I hate living in fear of leaving my house.
I'll be praying for peace tonight. I know how these things can just mess with your mind.

That is nasty! I agree - report it, dating/documenting and taking photos.

W5 aired a documentary about a family's experience of their neighbors (father and adult son) from taunting/harassing to sabotaging their home and vehicles for 8+ years. They also started in on other neighbors. Anyone who didn't agree with them. Father and son even hired people to slash tires etc. They knew who it was but could never catch them in the act. It got so bad they installed surveillance and that's what caught them - ended up serving jail time.

You might be able to get some ideas on how to deal with your situation.

Thank you all for your support. Unfortunately we didn't see the carving until we had already cleaned up the T.P.

What we're pretty sure happened was that some of the kids in the youth group heard their parents talking about us and decided to take things into their own hands.

It's sad when kids get pulled into the messes their parents dream up.

I just want them to forget about us, if anything else happens I will be documenting it and reporting it. I don't care what anyone says about me, I only have one car and if they would stoop to destroying our sidewalk I don't want to know what they could do to our car.

I'm not living in fear but i won't have my head in a hole either.

Dear Beautifulmess,,,
It doesn't matter that you cleaned up the TP. The "Graffiti" on the sidewalk technically is a "Hate Crime" and should be reported to the Police.Go ahead and call them,,,,,thats what the "PO-PO" is for :D

Love Jerry
