The only bad news of the day, someone tagged our retaining wall

We live on a hill and have a rather large retaining wall, we've been here 16 yrs. and have never had anything like this happen before-UGH Luckily we have left over paint from when we painted a year ago. so I went out there and painted it as soon as I noticed it! DH and DS thought I should of had the cops come out just in case it was gang related- I think it was just some kids being stupid, so I didn't think about it! I just wanted it gone! I guess if it happens again I'll call, crap why do they do things like this!!!

Because they're all worthless lowlife scumbags that have never been taught respect for anything or anyone. I've always said they should all be put into the army & taught some discipline because obviously their parents didn't teach them any.

If it happens again, call the cops. If they wont come, take photos. It might be a gang of them or it might just be 1 lone dirtbag with nothing better to do with his sad life.

Not worried about them coming, working in the ER for almost 17yrs. I know most of the city police officers all to well-

Sometimes it's an added benefit to the job! I do remember Sammi barking once last night- but I would never send her out, I would be afraid they might do something to harm her, especially if this gang related. This is such a quite, family oriented area-and yes I know no place is sacred anymore, but I just have to think it was a random kid or kids, just being stupid- but if it happens again I'll be calling!

Thought about this, too--any chance you could install a motion activated flood light near the area? That would deter vandals in a heartbeat.

Hmmm that's a thought! The problem is that the retaining wall is pretty high and several feet from the house- its very easy to hide by the wall and not be seen. We do have flood lights in the back yard and it might be a possibility to set one up closer to the fence where the wall is. If it happens again we will definitely be looking at options- thanks for the suggestion- Di

Hey Di's thread name ain't a bad idea either, catch them and tag the "Stupid Kids."

Oh wait, that wouldn't be right, they're just misunderstood and just need some counseling.

I would go with something more like "STUPID PUNK" Hey but no tagging when we woke up this morning! Hoping it was just a random act of stupidity on their parts

Well lie down on the couch, we'll have someone in real soon to explain how it's not yer fault, butit ain't Garth's and mine either.

See my Mom spanked me with a wooden spoon when I was bad and it messed me up for life. Garth's Mom didn't and it messed him up for life.

BTW will yer insurance pay for this treatment?

No insurance needed - only thing I need to do is smack you both upside the head and I'll be feeling all better!!

Yep.

Maybe we should cut her some slack since she was a crime victum this weekend. Seems the proper thing to do to me, but on the other hand it has to be somehow her fault, she could not be a poor innocent victum.

Most likey those poor misused kids who did it will have their lawyer there to sue her real soon, destroying artistic tallent, might have even got a grant from somebody like The National Endowment for the Arts to do that to her fence. That means she's gonna be in big trouble soon.

Yeah I think it was covered some where in the stimulus pkg. and I destroyed it

Nope, not really, neither of us needs to see a shrink cause we blame everything that goes wrong on someone else, plus neither of us would vandlize yer fence or anything else like that. (I hate that word "tagging" sounds like an excuse rather than a senseless crime.)

Your right Glen, I guess I used tagging because I think of it more as a gang term- the old term graffiti could work also! Your right it is senseless, and a crime!! So maybe your not a goof, but I think Garth still qualifies

Oh and Garth leave poor Kenny out of this!!

I never heard it called "tagging". Did they write something in particular Di, or was it that unrecognizable graffiti crap?

It was a couple of symbols, and then some random circles- covered about a 5-6ft. x 3-4ft area, Some times gangs do this to mark there terriorty! I guess thats where the tagging came in! I wished they would just pee on it like a dog, at least it would be easier to clean up!

I'd vote on the motion activated light...and the sound of a 12 gauge being shucked...should send them right out into the light.....running!

DS offered to sleep in the back yard and have his ready- just to scare them off,
