Since last fall, I’ve been having problems with vandalism, mostly with my truck. There has been five different incidents, (At home: Rock chucked at Front Window of house, Allen Wrench stabbed through passenger-side rear tire; at school, valve stem cut on front driver’s side tire, rear passenger-side fender keyed, big dent in top of passenger side front fender). The fender thing happened today, and I’ve decided that was the last straw. I finally went off the deep end.
After getting the dent mostly pounded out, I drove to the Salem Spy Shop and inquired about security cameras for my vehicle. The guy said he had an awesome kit for my truck that contained a wireless camera about as big as half a roll of quarters (hooks up to battery, transmits a signal from 300 feet away), a hidden microphone, and a receiver. The camera is easily hidden and rotates a full 360 degrees. Cost: , plus installation.
Now that I’m getting this hooked up (Not until next week), what should I do when I finally catch the bastard who’s doing it? Sue him, get him arrested, blackmail, beat him up, do something even worse to his car, what do you guys think?
I can hide the transmitter in the glove box, it’s small enough.
What I’d also like to do is get a custom window sticker that says, "Smile, fucker, you’re on candid cam!" but I think that just gives it away. What do you think on that?
No, nobody else has access to my truck. It has two coded keys, and those are the only keys that work with the vehicle. I keep one set within five feet of me at all times; the spare set is in my fire safe.
Try cornering him and scaring him a lot. Then call the cops, have him arrested and sue him.
Don’t hit him or anything, as that can land you in jail or with a felony charge. You have the right to defend your property, but you would have to give him a warning first.
So if you warn him never to do it again, you can’t hit him, but you can still sue him and have him arrested, as you have video cameras, his story of not doing it won’t hold up in court.. if he pushes it that far. If you warn him and he takes a swing at you, you’re entitled to swing back and beat the crap out of him.
Good luck!
