Well.....so much for a Merry Christmas!!

Gosh, that is frustrating. And I guess a 7yr old isn't going to be running with a bunch of homies at school, huh???

There is a car alarm system that detects the pressure change in car tires and if the car moves down in elevation or whatever when it happens. I was looking into it when my car was vandalized so much last year. It's a VIPER product, and it isn't cheap. But with me living in the city, I didn't know if that would make mine MORE of a target with living only 4 blocks from the high school and 3 blocks from the one middle school. I'm positive it was kids... plus with the music they downloaded onto my cell they stole from the car, and charged a couple hundred dollars worth of downloads, they had to be teens.

Maggie, I am so very sorry! I'm glad your Christmas was great though! It's so hard not to get discouraged but I really think the type people who do things like this during Christmas as hurting very badly themselves. They have some real issues with something in their lives that causes them to retaliate and bring pain to someone else.

Do your dogs bark frequently? Could it possibly be "barking dog related"? I worry so much about my Henna and Dottie when they get into one of their daily shouting matches!!! Luckily they are when they are playing outside during the day, but I still worry that someone will eventually complain!

No actually my dogs dont Bark much at all. I f they ever bark at night, it is usually animal related, but dosent happen very often. And they Never realy bark during the day. They are pretty quiet!

That's good! Obviously just some very disturbed person! I hope the police can catch this person soon!

I was just about to write "Glad this had a happy ending" when I read further. Sounds like you're going to have to be vigilant for a while. It's probably kids but ya never know. I'm sorry that this happened to you at any time but especially this time of year. I hope you catch whoever did this.

Sorry for all the troubles you are having. It must really be a sick person to keep doing the same thing over and over again. I do hope the sheriff finds out who is doing this to you and your family. The bad thing is that you don't even know who is doing it.

Hope they find them, so your Christmas can become Merry to you.

That is so downright mean to come back again to vandalize your
vehicles. I still think a security camera might be able to catch these people
in the act. Then you would have pictures for the police to know who to
being looking for. They are surprisingly cheap considering. I googled up
a few.

Who knows, maybe if they saw a camera watching, they would not be
so quick to come on your property again. I hope they are caught.

That is an awesome idea... I think I'll check them out for my place as well. It's horrible when you feel like you can't even feel safe on your on property.

Well it sure is nice to have a member of the Family, who works for the Power company!! He he he he!!My BIL(hubbys brother) came out tonight and hooked up a nice big bright light for the end of our driveway! It is amazingly bright! We are still thinking about a Camera, but for now hopefully this will work.

I learned to always look to see what my dog is barking at when my Jerry Lee was raising the kennel walls with his bark one morning. I was feeding horses in a pasture across the woods from where Jerry Lee was, but he saw and heard something I didn't. I was bent over pushing a feeding pan under the electric fence when Jerry Lee began to bark. I stood up and turned around to yell shut, but I never got the UP out of my mouth. A 450 lb. feral hog came around the back of my GMC and straight for me. I jumped back into the truck Thank God I left the door standing open to hear a song I liked on the radio. I jumped back in just in time to avoid the razor like tusks he had. He proceeded around my truck and through the electric high tensil as if it was nothing. The beast ran off four of my quarter horses and took their feed after tearing out three strands of wire. He showed no fear of me or the horn honking and the door slamming I did to try and run him away. You better believe Jerry got a big ole steak burger and lots of patting and praise from me. Now if anyone of the six we have so much as whimper, I am up and checking to see what is about. Jerry Lee has since chased off several smaller hogs and one intruder. He lived up to his name ( Killer). Where we live, it is best to check out every bark. Sounds like maybe your guys are trying to look out for you as well. I sure hope the rest of your CHRISTmas was better than the way it started. I will take this opp. to say Happy New Year and I hope it will be just that.
New to the group,
