I hate people, lol.

It seems that last night some nice young man felt the urge to play football with my car's right front, just below the turning signal, twisting the metal in a way that makes the door impossible to open. I found it out this morning when leaving to work, and now I went snooping around the parking lot with a flashlight. Turns out the same pair of sneakers has systematically gone through all the cars in the parking lot, and since my car is the last one, decided to show it some kung fu in frustration of not scoring a joyride.

Fuck this makes me mad. It's pretty rare that I get the urge to hunt someone down and rip them into fucking pieces, but this is one of those cases. I haven't got money to fix it any time soon, either.

I can relate to that in a way. Two or three years ago on valentines day, of all days, I was leaving for work and noticed the smell of gasoline. After driving few kilometers a lightbulb went on over my head: someone's emptied my gas tank. I stopped and checked, and lo and behold: the flap concealing the filler cap had been forced open and the cap was left loose. Some skint bastard had been to our parking lot and stolen the gas from my car and my neighbour's car. I did call the police, but what can they do? Nothing. Made me feel a little better, though.

To this day I yearn for vengeance. If I ever get to know who it was and happen too see them I will most likely punch first and ask questions later.

Did you report it to the police?

That's fucking stupid! Hunt him down and knock his teeth out!
Someone fucked up my car two years ago.. He/They used a small stone or something and ripped in "L O L" on the driverside door and a long line from the back of the car to the front.. I'm not sure I've been a free man today if I ever found him/them

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Did you report it to the police?

Nah, completely no use whatsoever. They'll never find out who did it, and as a matter of fact I don't think they would even try to do jack shit about it. They're too busy hunting down students who grow weed and other real, dangerous criminals.

I can only hope I happen to see him if he comes back to have a second try.

Really sucks dude. Sorry to hear. I hope the dude does come back and you catch him!

Yep. The best the police could do in my case was telling me to keep my ears open and let them know if I heard anything. In other words, they outsourced their investigation work to me.

I know how you feel, my car has been forced several times. The worst came when I was DJ-ing so I stored a big bag with almost all of my CDs in the trunk for a couple of HOURS. I came back and they were gone. Some weeks later, my friends started to tell me that my CDs were being sold in a known second hand CD store so I reported and I think they did catch him.

A couple of years ago, my bro's car was forced too and they took some CDs and a nice track I made for him, this one:

The day after he was walking down a street where people sell shit so he saw out of the corner of his eye some familiar colours lying on the floor. He was selling the CDs on the track!!! The tattoo studio where he works was just in front so he contained to break his bones and call the cops as well as the other workmates for him not to be able to run away.

I'm glad he was cold blood and wait because it could have ended up so bad. And maybe you have to pay him afterwards. Cops took him and whatever.

If it's enough to make a Fin angry, you know somebody must have fucked up very badly.

I feel your pain man: A week before xmas I went to a concert and left my car in that city for the night because I drank a bit, just to find out the next day that some asshole stole some of my lights (signal lights and fog lights).

I know not as bad as your story, but enough to make me consider hiding there some night with a baseball bat. Mostly out of principle, you don't fuck with my stuff.

Dude, I have to say, it took me a couple of re-reads before I realized that by "pair of sneakers" you actually meant people - for some reason I don't quite understand (but have fully embraced ), in the States, "pair of sneakers" =

Sorry about the car though man, that blows indeed!

That's exactly what I meant, too See, I was checking out the snow, and the same sneaker footprints that were on the side of my car went through the whole parking lot, visiting every door on every car. I wear a pair of heavy work boots and my fiancé has a mini sized foot, so I know someone else had been sneaking around my car

Thanks for the condolences, everyone!

I thought by pair of sneakers he meant a pair of sneakers, as in there was footprints left by the same pair of shoes around the cars... Dunno, I'm tired. I think I'll go back to lurk mode and go get some sleep.

Edit: Hah, I was sloooow it seems.

 

[Metaltastic]

AH, footprints, important detail (I guess you Finns always expect snow on the ground so looking for footprints is second nature )

Yeah, when we have our rite of passage to adulthood at the age of five, we have to track down a viking wizard bear, strangle it to death and bathe in it's blood, so checking for footprints comes kinda naturally to us. You really don't want to let a viking wizard bear circle around your back!

<snip>I guess you Finns always expect snow on the ground </snip>

Not always, only during the winter.

Shit I totally relate to that. I had my car mugged like 3 times. Once I was asleep and I heard some shouting and my car alarm sounding off, so I got up instantly went outside and there was a huge stone inside my car that obviously got through the window and in the ground right next to the drivers door a hunting knife full of blood ... This at like 4 am or so... fuck did I shit bricks!

 

[Metaltastic]

Hey Jarkko, you really want one of these, don't you

Dude, that's fucking terrifying

 

[Executioner213]

We've had a few bastards go through our neighborhood a year ago and slash everyones tires for like 5 blocks. I'm sure it's the same pukes who drove down streets batting everyones mirrors off their cars with a baseball bat as well. Fuckers...

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Hey Jarkko, you really want one of these, don't you

Well, the thing is, I've quit like four times now (yeah, I know ) and every single time everything has gone to shit at an instant. It's like a cruel joke or something. My financial leasing canceled when the papers were already signed, me ending up sleeping in barely over 10c 'cause a friend stood me up, my car breaking down 10km from home in -22c at 2AM... This time it was the bank taking a hundred euros they had forgot to take ages ago straight from my account without a warning, another couple of unforeseen financial setbacks leaving me with less than 50 fucking euros for TWO MONTHS, and now the car. Seriously, guys, come on. If I end up snatching a cig from my girlfriend tonight, I'm not even gonna feel bad about myself this time
