EastOf35thMemberMy car was struck by a rock thrown by 1 of 3 adolescent girls. Complete strangers with no reason for this action. Resulting damages are worth $450. I stopped and confronted one girl who said that her companion did it “..just for fun”. The girls then gleefully ran into lower Camp Long. This is a crowded intersection with no sidewalk on Brandon. The mixture of cars, bicycles, and pedestrians causes safety issues. I was going very slow for this reason and presented an easy target. Just a warning for those who travel this route.

WSBKeymasterPLEASE tell me you have called the police. This can be (and has been in some jurisdictions) deadly.

EastOf35thMemberI called the police but the girls escaped before they could arrive. I didn’t try to stop the girls from fleeing.

maplesyrupParticipantCan you describe them?

EastOf35thMember12 to 14 years old. Very clean and well groomed girls wearing light colorful clothes (slacks) befitting the weather. African American (don’t like to bring race into this but complexion is a distinguishing feature here).

WSBKeymasterThanks. Unfortunately we often hear from folks who call (not that you called, I just happened onto this while making a spam check here) to tell us about something – which is great – who have NOT called police – which is not. We’ve had home-page arguments over the years about this kind of thing (or throwing ANYTHING at moving vehicles, people, etc.) *not* being just “pranks” (which some inexplicably and dangerously contend it is). – TR

EastOf35thMemberI have resigned myself to the expense but I would love to have a chat with the parents of the girls so they could a least give them a stern talking to about right and wrong, safety, good social behavior and all the rest. They got away and will likely repeat since they seemed to enjoy it.

StarskyParticipantThat’s not right, try and located them and the parents. Sorry that happen
