As I write this I am 150 miles offshore of Rio De Janerio, Brazil, My wife has been having hell, First she noticed two small dents in my truck with the paint missing. In a call to her she tells me about them, and I say I hope the boys down the road haven't been throwing rocks or something. The next day she tells me that there are many rather large rocks laying around my truck ( I park in the grass). Yesterday she moved my truck so they couldn't hit it from thier gravel road aprox. 30 yards form my house. Well today she comes home and my tailgate was down and some old bowling pins that I used to shoot were on the tailgate. Tonight she heard the dogs barking and she took out the old trusty LED Qbeam and the equally trusty Glock 23 and made a walk around the 2 acres we own. She said that she heard something behind the 10' x10' shed in the back. She started looking and shining the light, shut off the light, went around the other side and low and behold.......There was our neighbor (13 yrs old @ 11:00 P.M.) She Hollared at him and he looked at her..... She shined the light at the Glock (which she never pointed at him), but she said "you should have seen the look on his face when he saw the gun". My wife then got him to call another boy she had seen run at the same time and tell him to come back, which he did. she held them there until the police showed up. The policeman was VERY nice being my wife was still nervous as hell. The policeman has them over at thier house now. Will update tomorrow... Again, Proud of my wife.

You sir, are married to a hero! She had no idea what awaited her but, she protected her house and home!!

As far as the miscreants go, someone responsible should have had a "come to Jesus meeting" with them a long time ago.

Way to go, my wife is having a similar situation, I'm up in Wyoming and some one threw a piece of metal at her truck and hit the tire leaving a small mark, piece of metal laying right beside it. Well a few days later the rear side window is busted. Now she's pissed. I hint it was some kids in the neighborhood, hopefully we catch them. Putting cameras up, hate all that is happening while I'm away.
Well, The Wife filed a police report this morning. Seems the boys stated they were only looking for thier dog. So no admission of guilt. I would like to believe that with the boys being caught, This will stop. All this within 3 days. And they were looking for thier dog. I will update as I get it.

I read the OP to my wife and my wife says she is proud of your wife too!!!

In ten years it'll be "I don't know how that weed got into my pocket officer!"
Well It looks like they did. The mother came over today with 3 kids, One hers and two friends (My Wife only caught two). They were all apologizing to my wife (including the Mother for ther child) and kind of owned up to some things that have been going on around the house, but never owned up to hitting my truck. Oh well, I am still happy with the outcome. On a side note, My wife while talking to the police told him that she had a gun. He was cool with it and didn't even want to see it. He did quietly tell her "Don't shoot them. If they are in your house, then shoot them, but only shoot them outside if they are attacking you." I thought that was pretty cool to be that frank with her since she was pretty shaken up at that point.

The best part is, those three young men learned something that will last the rest of their lives; a story they are sure to share with their kids one day. Glad everything stayed safe and "low key".
I remember a couple of events back in the day that had some "learning opportunities" for me...I like to think I'm a better man for it.
