Well here is what some punk (s) did to my Truck, sometime this moring between 1AM & 2:30AM  the police were knock at our door this morning at 3AM .
egged my garage door  and all this  :censored:  .

 Just got off the phone with my paint guy (who own the body shop ) he said bring it in   tomorrow morning and he said we will see how bad it really is .
this means I have to take the back way in to  shop.

 I've had people ask who did you piss off  , And I will say nobody.

   IT is just a bunch of  :censored: thats all  ,  you can't have anything nice... :censored:

Pat now you feel my pain, I guess it doesn't matter where you live there are !%@$heads everywhere !!!!!

sorry to hear what has happened to you....similar thing happened to my brother up in Ontario (he lives east of Toronto)....does not matter where you live - punks everywhere

Pat,
sorry to here what happened to your truck. May I suggest something, a few years ago I had a similar problem, the paint was fairly fresh but dry to the touch, I tried using Turtle Wax to take the paint off and it worked. It was not easy, but the car didn't have to be repainted and it had one heck of a shine afterwords.
Just my two cents. :down:

       Pat, that is only spray paint.....very soft compared to that factory paint you have on the truck. Go get a gallon of laquer thinner and wash it off today before it sets any longer. If necessary it can be buffed out even better later. Those punks didn't hurt anything.

Pat, that definitely sucks, not something you want to wake up to, thats for sure.

Like Glen said, that paint should rub right off with a rag and some lacquer thinner. 

Hope they catch the punks, and give them what they deserve.

Pat,

Sorry that this happened to you! They got nothing better to do, than to destroy stuff that is not their's. Hope it will come off.

I'm sorry that happened to you Pat!
Once you get it all taken care of, maybe think about installing a surveillance camera to keep an eye out while you sleep.
I've seen it help catch a lot of A-holes!

Pat. That really sucks,  a few A-holes that don't have any respect for others property.  If you don't want to use lacquer thinner, try some polishing compound it won't take off the clear coat. 

Pat,
Bad deal. Sorry to see. Hope all works out well.

I bet you could pick up a few sheets of woodgrain laminate and cover that all up...

Touche  :laugh:

Sorry that hapened to you... Hope it all can removed without a lot of $$$ and
most important hope they get caught.

Wow.. that sucks.. sorry to hear that Pat..

I wouldn't take the back route to the shop. You live in a small town,  let people know what happened,  odds are good the kids who did will brag, or someone will snitch. 

Sorry to hear about this Pat...
Hopefully, the spray paint can be removed without too much effort...

  :laugh:  You know I did not think of that, make a kind of a woodie looking truck  :laugh:

Well this has stired alot of people in our neighbor hood  to stop and talk and it looks like they want to get a nieghbor
hood watch .  and one of my bud's from the shop contact me  said get it over there first thing in the morning.

And thanks everybody for the concerns . :smile:

That sucks Pat. I think I would have to hurt someone.

That's too bad.

Look for the neighborhood kids with the green hands.

 GREAT NEWS , Just got off the phone with the local police they told me that they caught these punks a few hours
after they  ( the police ) had talk to me.
   Man I feel great :smile:

That's just ridiculous what they did to your truck.  At least they caught the little punks, hopefully they'll have allot of fun in court.

That's great!  I hope they get what they deserve.

Pat,

Sorry this happened but glad to hear they caught the responsible parties.  :censored: :darn: Make sure you follow-through with the prosecutors as sometimes the little darlings get off.  You are in the insurance industries and know full well what this type of crap costs everyone in increased premiums.

On a lighter note--tkaz has a great idea about the woodgrain laminate!  :biggrin: 8) :laugh:

 :drinking: Tim :drinking:

That sucks. I'm glad that they caught the punks, though!

Well truck is cleaned up and looks better than ever,  because of the dirt and salt spray  90% washed off the 10 % they had to put some elbow
grease into it .  

 

Glad to hear it Pat..

Good news Pat!  Maybe a good sentence for those punks would be to wash and wax your cars every week for a year or two!  A little community service never hurt anyone and they would get the chance to learn that they nearly screwed over a pretty good guy.

 :drinking: Tim :drinking:

Pat,
Tell the cops that it cost you a bunch of cash to fix and make the little ^*$ pay for it!

Pat,  Glad you truck cleaned up good and you got justice.

I'm glad you didn't use laquer thinner because it's too hot and would have messed up your paint. Use reducer instead.
