Friday night the next door neighbors decided to start a fire in a fire pit made out of an old truck rim. They were about 4 feet away from my garage, so Mary was alittle concern and called no non-emergency fire department number. They came out and put out the fire.
They in turn put paint all over my garage and the pavement. They also smeared poop on my garage side door to the point that I replaced the door knob.
I didn't see the paint on the pavement and I drove my truck over it. I did attempt to wash it off, but this is what was left.
I am so close to dragging their car far away.
Any opinions?

Beeing a neighbour, this could be an ongoing battle. I would be real mad as well. Call it a day, it will wear off the tires for sure, the paint on the body may be a little hard to get off though..

I'd call an out of state (NY)DTW friend to come do your dirty work... We have ways of dealing with these things..

Soft scrub has a sponge out now. It looks like white felt on one side, on the other side has a scotch pad type material but a little softer. It comes with a soap detergent in it already. Get a box of them at the grocery store, a bucket of water to keep it moist and start scrubbing! Had a spot on my road where some paint must of spilled out of a work truck. I scrubbed the whole passenger side of my truck, never bothered the finish. It was a cheap fix about $5.00

Will,
Thanks for the idea. I will give it a try. I just hope that they don't decide to do something else, because I just might loose it.
stay cool,
Mike

Well, it sure seems awful odd that this would happen after you report an open fire. I would make a police report, get a hold of your insurance company, see what the damages are. Not that anything could be done without proof. Would be a nice time to have had cameras around the property to catch the holes while they were doing it.
You know anyone that has a body shop? They could give you something that will take the paint off without screwing up your truck more then the lovely neighbors already have. Good luck!

i had some unruly neighbors one time. so come 4th of July i invited some friends that i wouldn't ordinarily invite to my house. shoulda been there when the illegal firearms started coming out of the trunk. the next weekend there was a uhaul in front of their place. you dont have to threaten them just let them know that for a case of beer you can make them missing.

I have a really good friend with a funeral parlor, if you know what I mean.

No one could have stopped me from beating the holy **** out of somebody if that happened to me. I'd have been the one going to jail for assult and battery for sure. Thats absolute stupidity and disrespect. I hope it all cleans and for you, and hopefully the situation with the neighbors doesn't turn into the Hatfields and McCoys. If it does I'm sure there are plenty of us on here to swing the odds well in your favor.

I found out from my insurance company today that I don't have a deductable and I can take it to a shop and have it done. Once the police decide what they are going to do, if anything, then the insurance company will go after them.
That would be just awesome.
Thank you all for your support. You are a great bunch of Mopar junkies.
