An Open Letter...

To: Mr./Ms./Mrs. Asshole
Re: Destruction of property

To Whom It May Concern:
You, sir or madam, are a complete and utter asshole. Sometime between Friday afternoon and Sunday afternoon you decided it would be fun to smash the front passenger side window of my wife's car that was parked in front of our house.

This is made even more insulting by the fact that you apparently did this only for fun. The car is old, and obviously there is nothing worth stealing in the car. Not that you would have known that, because you didn't rifle through anything. You merely smashed the window. By the way, the ATM slip that you pilfered won't do you any good. The accounts have already been changed, and the police have been notified - so bugger all on that.

Was it an accident? If so, why didn't you leave a note? Was it peer pressure? Were you bored? Did you have nothing better to do than randomly smash the window of someone's car? Was it because it didn't affect you directly?

Fuck you.

You increased our stress level a bit, something that didn't need to happen. You also cost lost time and money as we wasted an entire day dealing with police reports, filing insurance claims, and repairing the window. Rest assured that should I find you, I will take payment for this out of your hide. Slowly, so you can feel all the pain and stress that you've caused. Deliberately, so maybe you'll think twice about doing this to someone else.

The only plus side of this was that our incredibly nice neighbors taped up the damage you did so that rain wouldn't get in through the hole you created.

My advice to you is to find people like our neighbours. Perhaps something of them will rub off on you, and you'll stop being a complete ass.
