That's not all, folks
To begin, that stuff about my little bro was said in a tired angry stupor... he'd actually just passed out and soon after I posted the entry I went out to tidy something but by the time I got to the door I found that he was up, back, and had just taken care of the thing I was gonna tidy. I respected that so I helped him clean for the next 2 and a half hours until it was time to leave for church.
However... it seemed the extent of the damage was not just to the inside of the house... they did some more damage outside including ravaging my car... The right windshield wiper was snapped clean off and the left one, while still remaining, is too mangeled to work properly. The radio antenna was bent into a pretzel which I bet out as best I could this morning.
On closer inspection, there were footprints on the hood and dents in the roof and there's been some damage to the right side view mirror. It's all rather cosmetic but damn is it frustrating...
At the very least mine got off better than the one right in front of mine: the whole left side of it was dented in upon itself. The driver had some problems getting the door to open and close.
When I saw what happened to my car, the other driver said that he'd already called the cops so I had to stay behind to talk to the officer and explain that I was the guy who used the car etc, etc... He went around and talked to some people but in the end he told us the same thing I'd been thinking: No witness, no punishment.... Whoop!
On top of the car there was broken glass everywhere, they flipped over and broke off a piece of the doghouse, they threw a bench into the pond and they punched numerous holes in the drywall in the loft area... damn kids...
Well, this was certainly a lesson well learned: No more parties here, that's for certain. Either that or call the cops as soon as they start coming...
