I notice in your 'Tag Line Picture', (view from the side) the rear window also says, 'Watch For" and something written in Blue below it.

Going back to 2004 posts it has this.

What did it say then?????

Just wonderin

Greetings Jeverett,

When you 1st started this thread - you indicated it was "cute" and funny. But from the first post - I didn't see the "paintball" activity as either. Firing paintballs is just like hail. It can mar the clear coat - it can scratch the paint - it can dent - it can break or crack glass etc.. And cleaning it off can cause sratches too.

The rear window writing "could" have been by a prankster - but the paintballs didn't sound like it. Now the tire.

I suggest you start looking at the original source - the window writing. "Watch for Pantys" - and consider it a "hostile" message - not cute or funny or practical joke. Something wife related or girlfriend related (your's or somebody elses) - or something about ego male embarrassment or shame. Also consider how important do you consider your truck? Is the choice of your truck as a target symbolic more than just a random selection to get you? It sounds quite personal and quite directed - not general. They "KNEW" it was a new tire - would be my guess. My guess - your truck is not "just" your transportation vehicle - it "means" something to you (pride, manhood) and that person knows it. You stated "how gay is that". Have you recently insulted someone, embarrassed someone, made someone the butt of mean jokes? Take care - it sounds like things are escalating - and this isn't something to be taken lightly. An icepick is not something the person just "happens to have" in their pocket or hand. And at the central office of your company besides. Its not a crime of convenience.

White Lightning...I agree 100%. I do joke around alot with people, but usually let them know so, and most of the people I hang out with know me and can usually tell if I'm joking or not. I haven't really insulted anyone to the point of making them that mad in quite some time. Haven't been running around with anyone's wife, took anyone's g/f, or anything. Your right though about my truck being more than just transportation. People know how much I like it. I'm very picky when it comes to things like that. All of it was okay until the tire thing. The window chalk washed off easily, as did the paintballs (they were gone when I took the pic, i washed them off that night), so I just took it in stride as a joke and was going to just go along with it. Now, everything's back to normal (I think) so maybe whoever I did piss off has calmed down. I'm not going to try to get the last dig this time. I'm going to let them win.

That's the sign of the bigger man.

Still, might keep something in the back of your mind, in case the don't let it die...

Oh don't worry, I won't forget. Always be suspicious lol

[jethro_3]

How does that saying go, "Be afraid, ...very... afraid...?"

[jethro_3]

That message was meant for the person you won't forget, not you.

Nice updated profile pic by the way.

These days? Kids have been doing this kind of stuff since the beginning of time.I done stuff way worse than that when I was a teen, kids get exspelled from school for doing things I used to do on a daily basis. But you grow up (most of us) and see what a little basturd you where.

Jeverett,

Sounds like the correct attitude to me. Too many times we (guys in general) get into the "braggado" process - and inadvertantly up the ante on ourselves, family, or possessions by some nut who doesn't have "a governor" on his actions to others. Its a whole different thing when you can "see" your problem - but when they are not visible to you - you don't know how big it can become. Hope things get corrected. Even better - I hope you "hear" something or find out who did it - if nothing else - so you get some peace of mind.

In the mean time - maybe give that fine looking truck a coat of hand applied wax - just so it knows you aren't one of the "bad humans" LOL.

Greetings Skipr,

I agree with much of your post viewpoint - except we do have to recognize that today, young adults do get exposed to a different "theme" than we did in our youth. 25 or 30 years ago - fights with young adults started with words, then escalated to fists, maybe escalating up to a club or broken bottle even escalating up again to a knife. But today - there is a whole grouping of youth out there that never starts with words and fists, never starts with facing their opponent - they "start" with a club from behind - or they "start" with a knife from behind - or they go directly from words to shooting you with the pistol they carry all the time. There are just as many good young adults today as there were 25 or 30 years ago - but we've also got another group that is darker, less aware of personal responsibility, less aware that there are "limits". They just don't have an "emotional governor" on their brain.

Oh don't worry, it was waxed 2 weeks ago, but will recieve another coat very soon. I found some new wax at a car show that is the easiest stuff in the world to apply and remove and it leaves a shine like none i've ever seen before.....I think its called Perma Seal or something....well worth the money.

My favorite qoute (and I can never remember where I heard it from):

" Revenge is a dish best served cold. "

Then again, by then you might just have let it cooled to the point you just don't care anymore.
