Warriors' Watch Rider
Wanted to share something I experienced on Halloween. My wife and I took our daughter to my parents' house in Oakley for her first trick or treating experience. Their neighborhood always seems to have more houses participating than ours and generally feels a bit safer. Trick or treating went really well, but it's what happened when we went to leave that was...unfortunate.
As we were in the driveway saying our goodbyes and getting in the car, we saw two cars fly down the street well over the posted 25mph. My parents live on a very straight and long road so this happens a lot. Except a few seconds later, both cars fly back down going the opposite direction...then turn around and come back down a third time. This time, both cars stop across from a house about 4 houses down from us. A guy gets out of the car (looks to be a teenager) and does something to a parked VW station wagon, then jumps back in the car and they take off. At first I thought he had egged it since I heard sounds of hard impacts, but I wasn't entirely sure. I felt compelled to walk down and look...and when I got there I saw they'd broken all three side windows of the car.
I went up to the door and after knocking a few times (they probably thought I was a pesky trick or treater not paying attention to their darkened porch lights) I informed the owner of what happened and offered my witness statement since I got a very good look at the cars and knew color, make and model. The owner had no idea who would have an issue with him that would be connected to those particular cars. I still feel like it was a targeted act based on them seemingly searching for their house and car.
But damn...if it was in fact random, is that what constitutes a Halloween prank these days? Whatever happened to eggs and TP? :mad
