Help! Need information on a vandalism in the Falls
« on: February 03, 2012, 08:46:18 AM »
Hi someone put powdered sugar in the gas tank of a blue mini van near the corner of Hanakoa Falls and Stanley Falls... This happened a couple of weeks ago and now the car is undrivable.

At first I thought it was just on the outside of the car and the ground a prank to scare us because the car seemed fine.. Now it has lots of engine trouble.

I need to know who did this.. We will need help getting the repairs paid for...

Please let me know if you have any information. My family needs this car to get to work...

Some people suck.  Doing something like this to a vehicle is just dumb, tragic, and definitely punishable by law.

Have you contacted the Anna PD?  If not, please do so immediately.

Liability only.... We are taking it to a mechanic friend Sunday.. Hopefully we can afford all the repairs... I would like to find someone who know who did this to get some help from them to pay the bills.

Do you or your kids have any suspicions? Fight at school? Angry neighbor?

Offer a reward, even small one. Someone will squeal on the perp.

Yes, we have a thought who it might be but not able to get proof if no one comes forward... I would give a reward $50.00 maybe more if I could get proof, or someone comes forward...  I know someone has to know who did it.. This is a very small town.

Please let me know if you have any information.

Sounds like similar timing.  I got a nice swirly shaving cream pin-stripe job on my truck Jan 12th.  It just went down the driver side.  I park on the curb so I assumed it was kids driving and I was an easy target.

Our experience has been to garage the cars. That is what a garage is intended for, right?

in Anna we found that the garages were extensions of the family room, with big screen tvs and sofas out there. Trucks were intended to be out front.

Never saw that anywhere except Anna. Odd.

See, and I thought garage was to keep the garbage cans in.  I guess they should call them carages to avoid confusion...

Egg on the windshield this morning.  Somebody is working on getting a rude awakening, or maybe I should say a permanent sleepening...

If any egg is on the paint get it off PRONTO! Between the eggshell and the egg itself it'll eat the sh*t out of your paint.

Report to the police and offer a reward for info. Maybe one of the kids will feel guilty and turn in the perp.

Here in Sherman we have a rash of car break-ins.  Thieves take wallets, phones, lap tops. Not sure what people are thinking leaving that stuff in the car. Also a lot of the time the car is not even locked, not that that would stop a determined thief.
