Hmmmmmmm. I'm going to have to ask that you try the legal route first. Call a lawyer and find out what can be done in your area. If there is some kind of hang up that doesen't make you feel pretty certain that justice would be served, I say don't file a report. If you aren't 18 yet (why counter a chicken**** act with another) this is the point where someone's a$$ gets kicked. If you are 18 (and afraid of going to jail) or the guy can whip you then maybe it's time to go chicken**** on him like he has you. We'll probably wind up giving you some good ideas for revenge, but sorry I can't do so without some more knowlege of the situation.

Alex, i think retaliating right back at someone elses car is not a good way to do it. If you want to get back, you embarass him in front of his friends, fight him in front of his friends, or slap the bill on the counter to his parents.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.. Why don't you make him fix yours. Otherwise here's a good one: get some wire or piano string. Tie it to his driveshaft and to each valve stem. As soon has he puts it in gear and steps on the gas - POP! 4 flat tires[img]/wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif[/img] The previous comments are for entertainment purposes only.

I was thinkin the same thing! Taking valve stems out is only minor though, and should be accompanied with someething else.

You could always deflate his tires to like 5 psi cause i think he has stock tires, BFGoodrich Long Trails. That could always be some good humor. He drives away and bam, all tires shoot out from under the truck, and his frame is resting on the pavement!

I've been in the same boat twice. New paint and got keyed deep enough I have had to have the passanger door and passanger box side repainted costing about $150 each time. I think I found the people responsible the first time about 2 hours after it happened and turned around and they went running and jumped a fence and fell down a big hill/ cliff thing and I never saw them since (maybe they broke a leg. j/k) The second time I never found the people. Anyways, if you wanna get them back some things we have done are taken their needles in the valve stem and tape them to their windows, put big zip ties around their drive line so it thacks hard agains the bottom of the truck or just take the drive line off. Reroute the firing order. Mean one would be to take a spark plug out and place it in teh carb while it is still connected to the distributor ( I have never done this but I imagine it could be harmful). One I've dreamed of was just taking the engine out (slight time required) but never done also. Or if you have alot of flex just park on there car.


Don't worry, the worst you can do is break something.

Personally, I like the "Drive by shooting" water gun full of laquer thinners trick!!!!!! Its super easy and no one actually see's you scratching the paint on the car. You may as well make it even. If you have to get a new paint job now why shouldn't he???[img]/wwwthreads_images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Personally though, I would seek legal advice.

Well being older I would just get a hyperdermic needle from a diabetic and fill it with your touch up paint, run it down the scratch, dry, wet sand with 1200 grit then compound then rubbing compound then wax it. Then buy a $500 dodge dart and drive it like I had too when I was in high school.

i too have been getting my truck keyed by some unidentifed person. first one side, then the other side, and now my tailgate. if ever i catch the person/s, he/they will pay. no doubt.
ask them to pay for it. cash or check (preferably cash). then fix it like frankp said to do it and pocket the money. if that doesn't tickle your fancy then invest in a high powered slingshot and some marbles (or ballbearings). but you can't do it right away. wait months before you do it but never forget.
