f'n neighbor's kid!

So I come out to go to work this morning, and I look down at the door on my tahoe and about three inches to the left and an inch up from the door handle is a dent. Not a door ding, it's too high up on the door. Not a rock hit, because there isn't a scratch leading up to it or away from it. Also, it's perfectly round, and impact on the paint is chipped, down to the metal, in a perfect circle....the size of a BB. Well, as soon as I notice it looks a hell of a lot like a BB hit, I think back to this weekend. My neighbor bought his shithead 12 year old a BB gun and was out showing him how to shoot it on sunday. So, now I'm stuck. What do you guys think I should do from here? His dad is a alcoholic douchebag. I'm afraid if I go over there and say something he might want to fight or something. I'm not afraid of beating the shit out of the guy, I just want this to go smoothly. So, do I chalk it up to having white trash neighbors and see if my dent guy can get it out and put some touchup paint on it.....or do I press the issue and see where I get with the neighbor. When I get home from work today I'm going to look around the yard and look closely at the fence and see if I can find BB's or other BB marks around the house. What would you guys do if you were me?

If they can't find the body how are they going to charge you? :laugh:

If he's a piss ant like you say he'll probably just deny it, then the burden of proof is on you if you try to do anything legally. So I'm guessing you're stuck. Try to approach him politely, pose your problem and see what he says. If he turns into a jerk about it, that opens up all kinds of other options...

if things get out of hand just shoot take him down and do a little ground and pound, than maybe submit him with a rear naked choke and let him #@&#036;&#036; him self. :thumb:

Sorry to hear about your truck. That would piss me off&#33;&#33;&#33; But me personally now at 44 i would just blow it off. you know the guy itsn&#39;t going to pay up anyways and its not worth going to jail over it if you do get in a fight with the guy..plus then the little piss ant will jacking with your shit.

if you talk to himlogically he might fess up to it, if he becomes an ass then you might as well just put some kind of barrier between you and him to stop the bb&#39;s from flying your way......

chances are if you say he is a dick like he is, then good luck........

you could always go buy your own BB gun :thumb:

F dude--that sucks&#33; In this situation, I&#39;d want to go talk with him...be cool about it---just bring up the fact that you know that his son got a BB gun and you heard it being shot...and somehow your truck got damaged. It may have been an errant shot--but still, it was from him... Just bring it up --- don&#39;t accuse him, just see how he reacts. If he admits something or says he&#39;ll help you take care of it, then cool. If not, just let it be--at least you informed him about it. Realistically, you won&#39;t get anything out of him except for the fact that he knows that his kid hit your truck and that you are aware of it. A BB dent should be about &#036;50 to fix. Let us know what happens...I&#39;d really like to hear that he was wasted when you went to talk with him about it--and then you had to administer a PWT beat-down...

You can delegate some yardwork to the child to repay you for the cost of the repair. Put him behind the working end of a lawnmower for a couple of weekends.

man, im sorry to hear that. I would just be cool and take care of it myself. It might cost a little but unless you plan on moving, I would try not to piss off the neighbors. I would talk to the kid though and tell him not not to shoot your way.

Well, I went over and talked to the guy about it last night. VERY suprised at how the situation went. Apparently the kid already shot the window out of their truck also, so the dad was already really pissed at his son. He didn&#39;t argue, or even look at my tahoe. He just said, "no problem man, just let me know what I owe you to get it fixed and it&#39;s yours." If it was just a dent that could be PDR&#39;d I&#39;d let it go, but since it&#39;s a pretty noticable dent, and it took the paint off down to the metal, I&#39;m going to go ahead and get an estimate. I realize I haven&#39;t seen any cash out of the guy, but turns out I know where he lives&#33; heh.

See, sometimes being polite pays off. Hopefully he&#39;ll keep his word and pay for it now...

I figured the outcome would have been a little different........ :flipoff: followed by a :bash:

But seriously, glad everything has worked out for you so far&#33;

Damnit&#33; I was waiting for the "I had to stop a mudhole in his face" story... Oh well, at least everything went smoothly. Did you catch him before he got wasted for the day????

No I&#39;m pretty sure he was sauced when I talked to him, that&#39;s why I&#39;m not convinced until I see cash in my hand. I&#39;m going to go get an estimate saturday morning so we&#39;ll see.

I got in a pissing contest with my neighbors. They are scared of me now. When you stand up to an entire family with moms dads kids brothers and sisters and all of them are bigger than you and surround you like they are gonna do something and you do not back down. People tend to look at you a little differently.
Funny thing is when they did that my wife called the police. Not because she was scared for me but because she knew the odds were still in my favor.
I would try to take Gaters advice.

shoot his kid

my neighbors dogs keep jumping our 4 foot high fence and coming into my yard. and we have told the owners 3 times they need to keep them in their yard. if this keeps happening im gonna have to put my bumper back on and tie one to it and honk in front of their house then stomp the accelerator to the ground. either that or tie one up and do a burnout hahaha scare the shit out of them&#33;

Hey man - it&#39;s not the dogs fault - that&#39;s just a bad owner. I hope you wouldn&#39;t do anything to the dog. Now the owner? I think that&#39;s a great idea - tie him and drag him for being a careless owner.

the dog growls at me and runs at me but i just stand there and pick up a 2x4 and it runs off. i have 4 chihuahuas and a chow and if that dog killed one of my dogs i wouldnt hesitate to shoot these peoples dogs(they have like 5-6 dogs, a goat, and a miniature horse) mind u i live in a suburban area and their house sits right next to mine and another house and they have a freaking goat and horse like they live in the country. i love animals and i love dogs, but i wouldnt hesitate to kill one if it threatened me or did something to my pets.

I hear ya. If he has 5 dogs, call the city - there&#39;s normally a limit of 3 per household unless you&#39;re a breeder or the bitch just dropped pups.

There would be no doubt if a dog growled at me in my yard it would be dead right there. 40 caliber bullets do wonders on german shepards I know.
I have a 5 year old and I would not let something live that would pose a threat to her. You should not have to put up with that in your own yard. Yes a dog is a dog and deserves more sympathy than most humans because they are animals and we are not. Well we are not supposed to be.

these arent small dogs at all, i mean they look like huge labs, but they r mean. i yelled at them one time and figured they&#39;d run off but they turned and looked at me and growled. i was like bring it bitch ill kill u haha. ive got a 1 year old niece that stays here every now and then so it does bother me. ive got my 12 ga. in my room and 3 boxes of shells if i really feel the need to take them out.

Call the pound man - do the dogs a favor and rid yourself of the problem.
