My car just got EGGED!
yuck! and my house by my front door!!!

i am the victim of an egg crime!

it must've been a whole case of eggs. and one was unbroken. i called the police and had him take the egg that didn't break--told him to dust it for prints.

he said he never tried getting prints off an egg before. i told him to let me know if he does.

i never egged someone before--i've never been egged before.

what is this world coming to? i just reported an "egging" to the cops!

4. well, i did see someone running away
and hopping in the get-away car that was parked under a streetlight!

so, it appeared they were having fun.

actually, it was kinda fun going outside with a bucket of soap and water, wiping wet egg off my car and front door. my daughter held the flashlight and i got my hands soapy. it was a real bonding mother-daughter activity. it's nice out tonight. and gee, i felt like calling the neighbors over for an early breakfast!

2. I'm telling you the world is going to hell in a hand basket
In my situation I would welcome eggs. I'm waiting for the neighbor to bomb us or burn us out and the prosecutor here is a wennnie.

3. I egged when I was a teen.
The principal's house. A Thunderbird of a girl who I hated. Both deserved it. :evilgrin:

But I'm sure you don't deserve it...are you being egged for your political views?

You need to take the car to the carwash and spray the stuff off right now, or it can peel your clearcoat off if you wait until tomorrow.

9. actually, i believe it was a "random egging"
my neighbors were egged twice about a month ago. and when the cop came over he told me that some teens were picked up three weeks ago for random egg violence on the other side of town.

he told me the people decided not to press charges; they just had the kids clean it off their house and pay for getting their car detailed.

i wonder if the eggers were at it again.

if they find whoever did it (driving around with grocery bags on the front seat and empty egg cartons--apparently like they did last time when they had to get the people's car detailed) i wonder...should i press charges?

no, it's not over my political views if it's the same people who got my neighbors because our views are night and day.

and i wiped my car down tonight, soap, water, etc. so hopefully i got most of it off--it was still pretty wet. i'll see the yoking damage tomorrow when the sun comes up.

"random egging violence" wow. in a way i feel so special.

5. My house got egged once... no idea why.
Edited on Fri May-06-05 11:53 PM by Hatalles
It was about 12:30 in the middle of the night -- only my bedroom light was on upstairs. I was lounging on my bed reading one of many filmmaking books I had picked up from the library when I heard a bundle of loud noises. It sounded more like something downstairs fell onto the wood floor -- maybe the cat knocked over something. I didn't think too much of it.

Later, we found out we'd been egged. Guess some teenagers were feeling crazy-like that night... dunno.

Do you have any political bumper stickers by any chance? Maybe stuck a Kerry sign on the lawn during the election?

As far as I know, the time I was egged, there was no real reason.

10. no bumper stickers or yard signs
my neighbor across the street (whom i get along with) is a very conservative republican and we made an agreement. no yard signs during the election. because i didn't want to be looking out my window and seeing the horrid bush/cheney sign and she didn't want to see kerry.

plus she was the victim of egg violence on her car about a month ago.

12.  No eggs
but had my house toilet papered to the point I could not reach it. Just contacted my daughters friends. If they did not come to clean it up I would call the police. They were at my house within 30 minutes. The house was tottaled with tp. They cleaned it up pronto. You know, don't know whether I would have called the police, this is part of growing up, but I don't condone it either.

28. Years ago, my next door neighbors were TP'd in the middle of the night.
They were actually quite proud, and took many, many photos. They didn't start to collect all the TP until nearly evening.

On topic? Orleans, I'm sorry you were egged. I hope the little shit(s) is/are caught. :hug:

15. egg update!
we just went over where the getaway car was and found two empty egg cartons.

(now why didn't the policeman notice them when he drove past there?)

my friend says to note the brand of egg, expiration date and call local stores. when i find a match as them to see the security tape.

17. Nothing like a good egging
It kinda tricky to throw them because if you really crank it up they break in your hand. A long, loopy throw works best.

19. It's a mess to clean that stuff up
TP'ing is a harmless joke, but I really think egging someone borders on malicious.

Besides what if the home owner is disabled or something? Then they might have to hire someone to clean up the mess.

22. We must have Egg Control!
Eggs should be registered and only licensed chefs should be able to have eggs.

32. and the cops came out for that?
Sheesh, and I thought I lived in the 'burbs. We had a potato thrown through the window of our car. The cops wouldn't come out, they just gave us an "item number" for insurance purposes. As if anybody has insurance on a $500 car.

They're not going to take any prints off an egg. They even make excuses not to take prints when it's a robbery. Crime lab/prints cost money so they claim they can just "tell" the perpetrator was wearing gloves. At least that is what happened when we were robbed. Sigh.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72
