So this was pretty interesting. I only had two finals to take: basic art (we just drew a picture) and Economics. So it was an easy day. Everyone was happy because school is ending. I'm a senior so I was really happy.... until I walked to the student parking lot.

I parked my car there. It's not a very good car but it's my first car so I like it. It's a '92 ford explorer. Here's what happened. My entire back passenger window was shattered. There was glass everywhere, all inside my car too. I have no idea how it happened, who did it, or why anyone would do it. I have ZERO enemies and have never had any. Yet for some reason my car, and only my car was the target of some prick.

So now it's costing me $210 because of some prick and our insurance doesn't cover it.

Great way to end high school.

Did you call the police? Any CCTV around the area?

Our school isn't smart enough to put CCTV in our student parking lot lol.

I didn't call the police. Not sure why I didn't but I didn't. I was too irritated and wasn't thinking. Not sure what the police would be able to do though either. It's possible there are a few witnesses to what happened but whatever.

Opposite situation where I am. No high school student has a car and there is therefore no student car park but you can't scratch your nose without some bloody camera breathing down your neck.

You can find out who did it. Here's how.

Glass reflects, therefore when the glass was broken the act was reflected in the window. This reflection can be recovered, but first, you'll need to reassemble the window. Oh, that's step one..... reassemble the window. I know what you're thinking, but believe me when I tell you that that's the easy part.

Once the window is restored, you'll begin the process of recovering the reflection at the precise moment that the glass was broken. On the floor, draw a circle large enough to contain the window. Place the window in the circle between four lighted, white candles, one south, north east and west.

Repeat "Power of the witches rise, coarse unseen across the skies, take me back to where I'll find, what I wish in place and time." four times in a scary voice, a little louder with each iteration. Next, walk around the circle clockwise, side-stepping to keep yourself facing the circle at all times. Do this three times and then repeat it 3 times counter-clockwise.

Now this next part is really important. Look into the window and laugh (one of those crazy, diabolical ones) and say to yourself. You idiot, there's no way this is ever going to work.

Now go back to the school and ask around, because somebody knows who did it and they're just dying to tell.

Watch from 30:40 on to the next ad. That's how it's done.

Just take that device, hook it up to another window in your car, cancel out the background noise and then you have the audio of who did it. Simple as that.

On a more realistic tone, follow Brian's advice and just ask around at the school. Someone's gotta know.

Awesome way to end high school. I envy you, a lot. Nah, just kidding, lol.

Here's what you should do, get a tire iron, and bust out everyone's back window. That way, everyone will have motivation to figure out who did it, and it's impossible for them to not determine the one who broke your window in the first place.

you could just smash every one elses window, just to make sure you got whoever did it back. My personal bet is that it was some lame freshmen with a group of followerers who decided it would be cool to break some a window, act big infront of a few chicks, earn some "respect"... Honestly, I bet thats what happened. Or maybe it was a completel accident, and whoever did it was actually trying to use that foamy stuff to write "HAPPY GRAD!" on your window when they had a muscle spasm and busted up your ride.

Im glad I havnt bought a car yet

Just get on Dramaspace er I mean Myspace and ask your friends. I'm sure eventually you'll find out who did it because the trouble makers always like to brag.

Or they might have been trying to break someone else's window but they had the wrong car. There's a dozen possible reasons.

It's probably just a jerk smashing a random car. I've seen it lots of times at my old University. Or you could have had something expensive looking in your backseat

Get a friend to own up to it, claim all the kudo's - maybe come up with an elaborate story about how it happend.

Nothing annoys people who do this sort of thing more than not being able to claim responsibility. See whoever did it will already have told their friends, and they'll notice when someone else takes responsibility and might even start talking. If you can make it appear that you don't have a problem with it, like it was just an accident and your not even bothered, then you could lure the culprit out that way... then make him put his teeth back in, so you can knock them out twice .

That's what I'm thinking it was. Just a random smashing and it just so happened to be my car. But there certainly wasn't anything expensive looking in the back lol. There wasn't anything at all in the back actually lol. Or the whole car for that matter.

At our school there's many cameras, but none in the car park. There's even (no joking) two cameras one above the other, looking down the same hallway at only 10 degrees difference (it's a narrow corridor too).

Since we moved into our new building last year, my school has been full of security cameras. At one junction in a corridor, there's about 4 or 5 cameras, all just pointing different ways. You can't drop a soda can without being foiled and put to death by hanging (it sends a message to other trouble-doers).

Not after the window had been smashed anyway.

You'd be surprised how we take things for granted and don't notice something's absence or presence till our attention is drawn to it.

When I went to our garage to get the lawnmower out at the start of this season's grass-cutting it wasn't there. At first I thought I must have put it somewhere else - or even taken it to be serviced and then forgotten about it ( ). [I once lost a suit at the dry cleaners for that reason. ]

We finally decided that it had in fact been stolen - especially since the petrol can was missing as well. We walk past the mower almost every day when we use the car - but really couldn't say when it had actually gone (except that it was "probably" taken some time between end of October and early March - it was fun reporting this to the police, especially since they couldn't find our address on their system, took approx 40 minutes to report a simple theft!).

About two weeks later we realised that the mower wasn't the only thing missing - a brand new ladder, still in its original packaging but a year old, had gone as well. Took only 2 minutes to report that.

Bizarre thing is that we live in the middle of nowhere and the mower was dying anyway.
