Here in the heart of the confederacy, we recently had a spate of vandalism where some cars in a rich neighborhood (one of the first PUDS) were spray painted. The miscreants stole the paint, along with some beer and a gun (not really part of the story as they either drank the beer or trashed it and did not use the gun) from a resident.
Then they proceeded to spray paint some cars.
They were caught and it turns out they were 13 and 15 and did it because of some restrictions on Skateboarding. Ok so far.
But what really got me, was they spray painted a classic 1968 Mustang! I know it is stupid! They did worse to some other cars. But when I saw that, I was heartbroken!
How can you deface a 68 Mustang!
I am not a car afficionado. I do not own a porshe or Corvette!
But the Mustang? That made me see red (literally)!
I guess there are some things I just love even tho I will never own them. And that was my first, and really only dream car (I was 11 - so like I cold have bought one?).
When I saw that, I wanted to hang those little twerps by their toenails and apply flaming bamboo slivers to them! But my cooler head did prevail, and I just hope they throw the book at the spoiled brats.
All over a 68 Mustang.
Go figure.
