Where can I go with this?

Since the day I got my DSM, EVERY single I have driven, has been vandalised at school (excpet for my newly acquired RX-7 which I don't dare take to school). Today, some kids thought it would be funny to spit out chewed up food all over my truck window. I was right pissed. The upside to this, is that the lady who lived at the house I was parked in front of, got their license plate number. The thing is, I've spoke with my principal five times already and nothing's been taken into action. He always says he's going to do this, do that, but shit keeps happening.. and not only to me. My buddie's 1976 Mustang got hit and run. My other friend's emblems have been stolen off his car, hood dented from assholes jumping on it, dented wheels, etc.

What I want to know is, what can I do with the license plate number? What would the police do? Would they even care or dismiss it like every other report I've given them. Should I just tell my principal that I refuse to go to school until he sets up a zero tolerance policy? Should I take it into my own hands and beat the shit out any driver that even gives my car a dirty look?

I'm so stuck, so mad, but I'm sick of being quiet and letting people do this to me. I want to stay as responsible as possible, I don't this to get the best of me, but use it to my advantage instead. Any help?

Talk to the principal first. Do not hit the kid. A kid knelt on my hood and put dents in it. I hit him 1 time and knocked him out cold. He went into a seizure and had to spend a night in the hospital. At school I didn't get in any trouble but with the cops I did. The cop wanted to charge me with substabntial battery which is a felony. If I were 17 at the time I would have been cuffed and taken in and possibly be doing prison time. Talk to the principal first man and try to work something out. If the car is damage they have to pay restitution.

Talk to the principal and contact the police and see if they can do anything about it.

As much as I agree with 2.2straightsix, that would do nothing but land you in a bunch of trouble. :disappoin Violence, while sometimes nesicary, I don't think is quite the way to go... yet. First off, talk to your principal again. Tell him, and don't be rude about it, that if he doesn't do something that you will talk to your parents. If after a day or two, nothing is done, talk to your parents. Not going to school will do nothing but get your parents in trouble. Have your parents talk to the principal. If nothing is done after that, it might be time to think about contacting a lawyer. This is a very serious matter. Don't let people tell you that it's just a prank, yadda, yadda.

These kids that are doing this are going to grow up to be thugs and punks.

Just my :2cents: worth.

Hide in the truck, or close to with some friends. Pour buckets of various fluids over them. Like crap, piss, puke, bukkage, soysauce, eggs, spit, purple paint and used tampons/condoms.

This borders on vandalism, not to mention the ethical side of it, but find what they drive, put some gorgonzola or limbergur cheese on the engine block. Once it warms up, its gonna stink. The cheese melts off fairly quickly, but the stink stays for weeks.

I have parked somewhere else and same shit happens. I've already moved to five different locations. I live too far away to walk. I could take the bus, but then I'd be late for work, and sporting events, among other things. If it were that easy, I'd be doing that already.

set up a camera or something to catch them in the act. then do something with that.

Shoot them. Twice. In the knee. just one knee.

Seriously? I'd go with other people and say go to the principal. If this shit keeps happening to not just one person, then you need to tell him he's being too lax on enforcing the rules and tell him what you want done. If nothing is done, go to the police with the license plate numbers, and your parents to talk to the principal.

As long as there witness....the cops should accept the case and not dismiss it.

sounds like a good Idea. That way you have proof and nobody can say anything when their face is on the screen. It may not be enough to get them in trouble the first time though But it surely will be enough to let them know that if repeated again it will result in some action.

Are you parked on school property when it happens? If you're not then the school probably won't be able to do anything about it...

I'd find the car that matches the plates the lady gave you and spray some paint thinner on it.

1. Tell the police, they can do a tag check.

2. Idk if you have comp coverage(which covers vandalism) on your vehicle but if so, and the damage is substantial enough to submit a claim, your insurance company will run a tag check.

3. Look around the parking lot for that liscense plate.

The camera is a good idea, but the issue is money vs quality. Other schools have spent a grand on cameras that catch people in the act, but not fine enough to be able to zoom in an identify anyone. I have spoke to my principal about it.. for the 5th time and nothing's really been done. I have never done anything to anybody. I have a bunch of people talking shit about my cars all the time though.. It's never happened to anyone in grade 11, but everything's happened to the grade 12 kids at my school. I'm just sick of dealing with this crap, especially if I didn't even do anything to provoke it.

I am getting the resource officer to hopefully do a check on the plates, and if that doesn't pull through, then I will go to the city police. In the meantime, I have been trying to find the car with the plates, but I have had no such luck lately. It bugs me, because I have had a license plate for the police to check on, but nothing ever happened.

get yourself a good video camera, don't rely on the school. sit in a car accross the street or something and film it, don't think the school are going to do anything, you need to catch them in the act and then take your evidence to the police.

Start driving something you don't like or care about.

Sorry, I don't agree with this. This just gives them the OK to keep doing it. They need to be taught that this type of thing isn't acceptable in society today. If your city cops don't do anything, do you have a Sheriffs unit in town? Also, when you go to the city cops, take your parents with you. Thier more prone to do something if your parents are there, then if it's just you. Yeah, pretty f'd up, I know, but it's the truth.

I don't think I'm down for a fourth vehicle.. especially if I haven't even graduated from school yet.

I found the car that matched the plates. Tomorrow, I'm going to see what my principal has to say about it. If he doesn't do anything, then I'm going to crack this kid's head through his windshield. I went to elementary school with him, he's a year younger then me. I haven't done a thing to him, but he is stupid like that.. I'm hopfully going to have a confrontation with him in my principal's office. I'm going to let him have it. I have my doubts whether or not he did it, but if not him, then one of his friends. Until he rats whoever out, I'm going to hold him responsible. I just hope he confesses to it so I don't have get that helpful lady involved. She's elderly and looks like she's rather not be involved with the police. I think I might send her a basket of chocolates and cookies though :)

Yup, video rules. Once you have video evidence of their vandalism, they're toast. Next time something is done, take it to the police, and if damage is done, to your insurance company. Insurance can work against the kids that you have the license plate for also. Won't someone's parent be surprised when they get a bill for the damage their kid did!?
