    Stuck letter through door at about 5am yawn. Now 5pm, no angry bangs on door or letters that I know of and no sign of kids messing yet, in fact they do not appear to be outside that I can tell. Would hate to think they were being kept in due to "messing with that guy's car" and building up resentment and later taking it out on the car. Oh well, what can you do?

    I heard about a woman being terrorized by some kids she lived alone, but she told her grown up son about it, he went to the children's house and gave their father a good hiding, and told the father if your kids upset my mum again I will give you another hiding, she was never bothered since.

    ... just go out and ask them ...
    this is the problem I've always known I have. "just ask" people say. "just ask".
    If you need help "just ask".

    However, when you're an Aspie you don't know how to ask for things correctly. And the outcome of this is often very negative. I find I have been either mocked by my asking, or dismissed for it. In a situation like this it can cause an escalation.

    My experience anyway.... I've always dreaded the "just ask" words. For years, because I knew that the one thing I couldn't do, whatever it was was "just ask".

    Actually I think with some people its the only way to get through to their thick skulls.

    Make the parents responsible for & control their kids.

    Some kids this morning went down my street with a silver spray can and sprayed cars on the street from the front to the back on the side including mine, and unfortunately it wont come off.

    More and more kids these days have no respect for people let alone their property.

    There is a solution you can buy that lifts it off.

    I remember this from about 1982 when a guy I was working with had L.U.F.C. sprayed in red on every panel/door/roof of his light coloured car.

    Is it just me that can't stop laughing at someone who washes their car with filtered water?! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
