Re: Had the TA for almost 2 months..
the cars in my row at my complex have all gotten keyed over the past few months. the guy in the spot next to me (who is an officer also) got hit again yesterday. makin me a smidge nervous with the fresh paint job.
and i'm the kinda guy that if my car gets messed with, i mess up all the other cars, to be certain i got the one who got me.
what can i say? i come from a long line of postal workers from the bronx.

Re: Had the TA for almost 2 months..
Well at least you can narrow it down by guessing it wasnt anyone who had their car keyed, if yours gets keyed... No one would dare key my cars! The neighborhood I live in is full of gun owners...
Some are even trigger happy...

haha, that's right! you are stuck with all dirt! when i lived in CO, i had to use cinder blocks, because my driveway was wood chips, grass, some weeds, and a few woodland creatures. it was scary as hell to do work under that thing haha.
