So this morning when Mom and I went out to our car, we discovered someone had smashed in the driver's side window - for the 4th time since we moved in here.

I'm hanging in there, but hugs appreciated.

Do you have out-of-state plates?

Iolanthe Portmanteaux's picture

This happened to a friend of mine when he rented a car somewhere in Texas -- the rental car had non-Texas plates and had the windshield smashed while my friend was at his gym.

When he came out and saw the damage, a guy was there smirking, saying "that's too bad" -- and other stuff, making it clear that it was because of the out-of-state plates.

Huggers!

Whacky thought ... Talk to your doctor about ...

... getting a "Handicapped" hang tag.

I bet tag will help you anyways in your travels ...

And maybe, just maybe guilt trip your Mad Basher into leaving you alone.

Weirder stuff can happen.

Had a friend who escaped a robbery by telling the mugger that she didn't have anything and offered to show him her welfare id-card. He just walked off, saying "Jeez, Lady, you are worse off than I am!"

And don't have anything in car that looks like it has/might have 'goodies' inside. Boxes, 'not-flat' carry bags. Especially not any boxes/bags that accidently have 'designer' store labels. Around me, that's Macy's. Helzburg Jewelry, Neiman Marcus, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, ...

Oh, and no electronics/cell phone bags.

Don't freak - I had to Google for these stores. No way can I afford to shop in same ...

"Emergency" coats & blankets can be out of sight in trunk/boot(?).

PS: Don't forget to vacuum. Twice. Sure it's pebbles, but ...

I exploded a Pyrex dish (long story).

Of course I swept.

Wife & Stepson found the last two (?) pieces while barefoot ...

Game Camera

They run around fifty dollars to three hundred dollars. The low end ones do the same job as the high end ones except they don't send what they see to your phone. They use a motion detector to take pictures. Nothing moving no pictures. Something moving one or more pics, your choice.
They can be mounted anywhere and if one wishes they can be painted to blend into the background or hidden in an electrical junction box. Make sure they can see outside the box. No light, no problem, infred, they take pics in total dark.
Some of the others on this channel might have more advice with security cameras and even mini cameras, or motion cameras inside the car to take pics pointed toward the window.
Be sure to file a police report each time and do NOT wait on the police to make it better if they catch who is doing it. Not their job. Get a lawyer who will do it on concession. They get paid when you win your lawsuit. You don't settle for the cost of the damages, get emotional, and harassment, add in hate plus court, plus legal, plus your time spent taking care of damages and filling with a lawyer. The judge won't add anything to your lawyer's filing. What you ask for is possibly all you will get. You don't ask, you don't receive. Court is not there to help you. Judge's only job is to decide the case. They may refuse to pay even with a court judgement. You will need to "execute judgement" if they do.

Is this something that happens often to others in the area? If so, the only thing you can do is wait for them to get caught or find a better place. If they are targeting you specifically, The camera is a great idea, as is getting the police involved. It should then be investigated as a hate crime, which may give it more priority. Around here, used trail cameras for watching wildlife on hunting lands are often found cheaply on Craig's list and thrift stores.
