Great...just great....a county police officer...can't be anything good about this.
Officer says, "Is that your car (gesturing to the Passat)?" To which I mumbled something about it being in my driveway.
He gives me the license and registration business and proceeds to says something about someone taking my letters. I'm thinking....someone took our tag # for something and am starting to get a little pissed off by this point, since the car hadn't moved in about 20 hours and couldn't have been involved in anything.
Turns out, some little moron took a sojourn through our part of the neighborhood and pried the model letters (Passat, Jetta, Golf) off of every VW in the area.
What is up with that? Why just VW's? Am I missing some sort of new fad?
Now...I have to take a day off of work to go to court, deal with restitution, take the car to the body shop.
Little jerk....good thing I didn't catch him in the act.

Real PITA is - even if we caught these punks doing it - not much we can do (legally!!!!).
Signs of the times .... sickening ones.

Funny thing is, the officer didn't come to our house until 7:30am, so exactly what time did all of this transpire? The wife said that she noticed that the motion detector light was on around 3am, but that's not unusual as the wind sometimes makes some stuff hanging on the porch move around. Makes me wonder now.....
So...why was this little booger out running around in the middle of the night?
Worse part...and it's always par for the course......we're making the final payment on the car this week :-(

More of a PITA than the actual crime in my case since my wife and I caught the 2 burglers in our garage and suffered no loss, except for being rousted out of bed by the dogs @ 4:00 AM.

Now I have to miss a day of work and go sit in a court room and watch this guy get a slap on the wrist. The idiot cop wrote it up as an offense amounting to less than $100.
The estimate to repair the car was $150 just for the letters. I took some gum turpentine and cleaned off the residue and left it be.
When I received the court notice, I did a little snooping and found thhe little jerk's myspace page:

I'll be looking out for him from here on out.

On the subject of vandals, the amount of graffiti in the Sagrada Familia is amazing. It's still being built, but then that has been the case for nearly a century.

Sounds like you need to file a small-claims-court action.
Don't forget to include the value of the time that you've spent on this.
"The idiot cop wrote it up as an offense amounting to less than $100."
What, the cop is supposed to know how much VW charges to replace the letters on your car? Get in touch with him and have him amend the complaint.

Would you be able to hit him in civil court for that?
We'd all be better off if someone would just hit him with a 2x4 behind the woodshed.

It would probably be handled in small claims court.
In Pennsylvania it would be handled by a magistrate.

Oh yeah, you'll notice that he claims that his income, WHILE a college student, is $75 to 100K a year.
I find it more ammusing that he is now in his third year of Community College, and he is taking a single 100 level class. He is also pursuing a major that is not offered at the school, which leads me to conclude that he intends to transfer to a 4-year university, which means that he hasnt made crap for progress.Oh, and just in case you need to collect his debt to you, or say you feel very vindictive, he has been kind enough to list his employer on that page.

Post his address, I could use having something to give out as my "real location" when I'm trolling people who want to meet and fight.
Hahahaha......that would be too funny.Ya know...I had pretty much forgotten about this whole episode until the court paper work came last week. Now I'm all fired up over the incident again. This whole exercise is making me feel much better......
.....still didn't find his RX7 yesterday......

Be sure to forward what you've found out about him to all of the other VW owners in the neighborhood. With some luck, one or more of them might be pissed off and crazy. Maybe they'll tie him down and tattoo VW on his forehead.
VW branding Iron..okay please don't do that, but I hope that he gets hosed by the court and everyone he f'd with gets proper restitution

Whatever you do, DON'T have an unfortunate accident with noxious paint-eating fluids near his car.
You mean like brake fluid?
