Default Somebody Shot My Jeep

So, I'm driving on the road just north of my house, going to a football game.

I live in the 'burbs, but this road is a little more wooded, with less subdivisions than most.

I hear a 'rock' hit my Jeep. Although I wasn't sure it was a rock - it more of a sharp impact and no rattling around.

The next day, I happen to check my Jeepover, and there's a little mark on the door. Actually, a little dent and chipped, flaky paint.

Sure enough, it looks like some kid with a bb-gun decided to use my moving jeep for target practice.

Oh well, I guess I'll get some touch-up paint. It's not worth filing an insurance claim over.

Picks shortly, as soon as I can get one off of my phone...

If I hadn't had my doors on it would have hit my son. Lucky it was chilly that day, I guess.

Sorry that happened, but at least it wasn't a .308 or something.

Mine was shot at with a bb gun or pellet too. Nice little ding near my handle on talgate w/ chipped paint. I think it was the neighbor kid across the street. I'm going to put a sticker on top of it I guess.

Yes, could have been much worse.

I did file a police report - or at least told them what happened. I figure if they have a lot of similar reports they might be able to track the little bastard down.

Picture attached. It's not particularly good, since I used my phone.

I know. I did some stupid things growing up. But I don't think I every shot a bb-gun at a car.

I did throw a snowball at a car once.

It was a blind throw from a ditch - I couldn't see a thing.

Hit it right on the windshield.

It was the town policeman.

Whoops.

He didn't even tell our parents, be we didn't do that again. Ever.
