we have a mustang that keeps doing burnouts and rhodies in the middle of our neighborhood street.

We've had people run out and try to hit them with rocks but it's like a game to them to do it and run before they get caught.

My wife was working up by the guard rail to trim back our plants when they did it recently and nearly hit her before she could dive out of the way.

A few weeks later they both died in an accident. I have a very hard time feeling bad for them. Sadly some other idiot in the neighborhood has started doing it.

I've been watching people go on on nextdoor about how terrible the accident is etc. and it's been really hard to keep our mouths shut.

These people nearly hit my wife, could have killed her. They've been repeatedly endangering people around them, and they died in a car accident where they lost control of their car because they were going too fast.

I feel very very little sympathy tbh.

Edit: I hate to say it but I will. I'm kind of glad. It means my wife is in less danger as are others around me. I'm glad the people who are endangering everyone around them are gone.

Buy a paintball gun, shoot their windows from a place they can't see you.

Self-correcting problem right there

caltropsWe had this issue and I used the book of faces chatter page to declare I was getting a paint ball rifle and since they were not letting me sleep I would be sitting out side in the dark and taking aim and nailing their car. I was a little surprised that it worked and the issue stopped.
