I went out to my car yesterday morning to find a rock the size of a football lying in my backseat, the rear hatch window was shattered. Along with that, there was a m5000 lying next to the car, like they had planned to toss that in with the rock. Once my alarm went off, it probably spooked them so they didnt have time. The cops took a statement, and told me to call them if i find anything else. I guarentee once i find these guys, the last thing i'm going to do is call the cops. I got to keep the m5000, i think maybe i'll duct tape it into their hand, and see what it can do.



By the way, replacement hatch glass w/ install = $795.

The only rational thing to do is to kill someone. Thats such bullshit, I cant believe someone would even try to do something so retarted.

Get a used hatch with glass for $250 and keep the rest of the insurance $$$ :)

Sucks about the window though dude.

:( liability only. College sucks. I forgot to mention, the $800 is my dealer rate.

Try going to a salvage yard and looking for something cheaper maybe.

BTW, I'm probably stupid for asking, but what is a M5000?

well lets say an m-80 can blast a pumpkin to peices. I was told an m5000 is equivilent to a quarter stick of dynamite. Its about as thick as a roll of toilet paper, and about 3/4 as long. THANK GOD for my alarm.

I highly doubt that. Fireworks that size are typically smoke bombs. Would also do much more damage to the interior of your car, coating everything with a filmy bullshit. The average person who compares any firecracker to "a stick of dynamite" likely has no idea what that entails.

Given the high explosivity of a real stick of dynamite, filling a tube the size of a toilet paper roller would result in a "firecracker" capable of taking out half a house. I can all but guaran-damn-tee you that old George at the Black Cat stand carries nothing even remotely approaching real dynamite or TNT.

They haven't sold real M80s in the USA in nearly 20 years. Last time I saw them was in Germany a decade ago and even then, they were somewhat pricey and rare. They were about 2/3 the length of a roll of nickels and one wedged between a door handle and a frame would blow the knob out of the door. Three taped together and thrown in a galvanized trash can would split it on two sides. When I lived there, you bought all your fireworks at New Years (they don't exactly celebrate our indepence in other countries) - bottle rockets and M80s - and then you made damn sure you saved some for July.

Sorry about your car, man. That is some shitty business. Shitty fucking business.


EDIT: Good old George carries nothing remotely close. Not "anything." :P

Well the cop was pretty damn suprised to see it, he said hes never seen one in person, and that they were illegal in the united states. Thats all i know about them.

It must have been young kids because I can't see someone in their twenties doing some childish shit like that. Kids these days are totally fucked up in the head. My wife recorded some 8 yr. old kids last year throwing glass bottles at my back-up car. I went over their house to speak to their father and he gave me the dumbest look like if I was bothering him. Back in the day we did pranks but throwing eggs was all we did. A giant rock through the back window is way too extreme.

That is totaly banged up man, i hate when i hear about shit like this.

Move to a college town.

Last year: Drunk sorority chics decided my car should be hit with a board repeatedly (neighbor caught them and they ran)... dented the A pillar and scuffed up my mirror.

Egged.

This year(with the Trailblazer):
Egged
I have knuckle dents in my passenger door, and a few kick dents in the same door.

College towns SUCK because people are stupid as hell.
