Someone took a large knife to my front passenger tire overnight. My car is parked right off the street. I have several political bumper stickers: a pink elephant, George Washington with a teardrop running down his cheek. Sarah Palin in revolutionary garb. One that says "Our founding fathers would be shooting by now," to name a few. I live in a very liberal area in Montgomery County, outside Philadelphia.
My husband's ticked. We called the policed who'll file a report. Hubby wants me to remove the stickers but I'll be damned if I'm cowing to anyone, especially "tolerant" liberals. If it happens again, I'm not sure what I'll do.
That is why I almost never put political stickers and especially NRA stickers on my vehicle anymore. There are numerous road rage reports from 10 years ago especially during the Bush era plus I don’t want my vehicle keyed.
NRA stickers present a special hazard in my opinion sometimes inviting theft(maybe a gun is in there) and it has also been known to interest police officers pulling NRA clad vehicles over looking for a problem that does not exist.
A. i lived in ne phila and roxborough so i can relate
B.my house was shot in the early hours the day after the 2008 electtions.
C. 2012 i will be armed. i will not be spending election night at my home. made plans to be in sarasota
During the 2008 election I had my car keyed three times, twice in a Costco parking lot that should have had cameras. Amazing the tolerance shown by liberals just because we want to save America.

A couple years ago, an illegal who lived next door kept hitting my car in the parking lot. My problem was similar to yours, I needed good images of my car's exterior after dark. Most in-car camera options weren't going to work through closed windows in low light. I did find something called Mobile Watchman, but as I recall the cost was prohibitive. What I resolved to do was get a good exterior mount, motion activated, infrared camera with recording. That was my cheapest option. If you do that, be sure you get a recorder with a date/time stamp.
Good luck with whatever you decide. Maybe you'll get lucky. As I was finalizing my camera decision, my neighbor moved out. Maybe the jerks who messed with your car were just passing through and won't be back. Hope so. A good camera may give you and hubby peace of mind for the future though :)
Wire your car with a speaker to blast the sound of a large nasty dog barking at random intervals through the night.
Some drawers are bound to be dirtied even if you can’t be there to see and enjoy.
No kidding! We're crawling with them. Fortunately I live in a small conservative enclave and don't have to deal with them much.
Get some internet serveillance cameras. I have several and they are great. They are easy to use and set up and you can view your property from a cell phone or any computer anywhere.
You can get a Cisco wireless N camera for around $120.
I have one, and I can monitor it on my phone, setup triggers, etc.
Worth checking into.
Now that's a fine example of "don't get mad, get even." Love it!
There is one FReeper I know of who has a magnetic F*ck Obama bumper sticker. They drive around town with it and take it off when parking.
Bumper sticker infuriates tire sticker.
I hate bull dykes !!!! At least you don’t have one living near you !
We had one move into the neighborhood back in the Winter and even worse, she is an out-of-state law enforcement officer. This is in a townhouse complex and she is a renter. I had a run in at the pool with that **** last month. I don’t know what I did to get on her $h!t list but I was told I was no longer allowed at the pool and I was not to talk to anyone in the neighborhood. I was going to ignore her orders and I was informed by the HOA board that as per a “law enforcement” request, I am forbidden from going to the pool indefinitely and I should be “scarce” in the neighborhood. How expensive doe this crap get if you want to fight this in terms of lawyers, etc ? I was even threatened with a restraining order where I was not to be within 1000 feet of her which would mean I would have to move out since where she rents at and where I own is less than a 1000 feet apart ! I also talked to a LEO who I know very well about what transpired and he basically told me my hands are very tied since no one wants to offend LBGT folks anymore. Basically a losing battle. Going to the pool was something I enjoyed doing with my wife and kid as a family. Hopefully something happens in her relationship where they move out and I might be allowed to go to the pool again.
Thinking of Animal Farm, “some animals are more equal than others”. I found her Facebook page and a lot of lesbian and liberal crap. The ironic thing, she is from Marshall, TX too.
> I am IN Texas and back when G. Bush was running for his 2nd term a liberal dyke tried to ram me.
'Pride goeth before a fall.'
Three words:
Hunt Over Bait.
Yes, blame the victim. Just like the guy walking down a dark alley in a bad part of town advertising his rolex and bankroll.
It’s a terrible mistake to think the whole world is going to be nice and respect you, that is after all what the left wing wants you to believe that that is what the world would be under their leadership.
Conservatives think more pragmatically, meaning MITIGATE. Which would include not being a narcissistic fool.
Buy one of those hunters cameras from Cabelas.com. It can take picture when something moves in front of it. They have great flashes and IR capabilities.
“You have very effective bait, why weren’t you in your blind alert, observant and prepared? “
LOL, you’re awesome.
