A couple Sundays ago I was staying with a friend and woke up to this.
I had 3 tires with stabbed sidewalls and unknown damage to a 4[SUP]th[/SUP]. My van was covered in spray paint. I had to have my van towed to Tires Plus to have all new tires installed just so I could get to work the next morning.
We know who did it, the police know who did it but there are no witnesses, so no charges will be filed. Let me state that I had no prior issue with the POS that did this. Although I open carry, he would often make obscene gestures at me or mouth obscenities to me but for the most part I ignored him. His issue was with my friend, not me. I was attacked to get at my friend.
The kicker is the POS lives downstairs from my friend. He’s a heroin addict and my friend has made his disproval of his lifestyle known. I had done nothing to deserve this crap.
I have full coverage insurance so my out of pocket costs have been minimal. My tires were a little over a year old so the insurance company repaid me $20 less than what I paid for replacement tires. I bought a locking gas cap for $17 to prevent tampering so that wasn’t covered either. I’ve spent a couple hours cleaning paint off the van to keep costs down. My choice not my insurance company’s.
I’m p*ssed at the POS that vandalized my van but I am also p*ssed at my friend. I feel my friend is partly to blame for not ignoring the POS to begin with. Their dislike had been escalating; I should have never got sucked into their feud. I’m p*ssed I have been attacked and I am the only one who has been inconvenienced. I am p*ssed my friend failed to protect me.
My friend watches my beagle for me a couple times a week (long story, my beagle is caught in the middle of a nasty divorce). My beagle & my friend love each other and look forward to seeing each other. My beagle likes my friend more than I do. I am still letting my friend watch my beagle but I am not staying there for any amount of time anymore. My friend is mad that I won’t spend much time at the apartment anymore. Would you? Am I being harsh?
This whole ordeal will probably end our friendship. My friend doesn’t think I have any reason to be mad. My friend chose to argue with me right after this happened about what my insurance coverage was and what the best tires are. WTF…….. When I try to vent or just throw out scenarios that would make me happy I get lectures & BS from my friend.
So INGO above is the condensed version of my clash with PWT. Am I justified in being angry or am I just being a crybaby?
