I live in an apartment, so my room window over looks my parking spot. Last night this ***hole put expanding foam in my tailpipe, it was easy to remove though, burn it to char with a propane bottle and nozzle attachment, scrape most of it out with a stick, and start the car, rev a little and the foam block should shoot out with a bang. haha it was actually pretty fun, anyways, if that dumb s*** does it again :chuckle: this is more of a poll i guess, what would you do?

People that mess with my truck, well they regret it to say the least.

If they do it again id find out who is doing it then go cut out their cats, and sell them to buy some cans of foam and put it in their remaining exhaust, as well as the gas filler neck and door locks....but hey thats just me.

at least is was easily removed and shouldn't cause any long term issues.

Stealing cats is too labor intensive for me as a one-upper. I've always been a fan of brake fluid in a spray bottle for the casual "spray-by". Is it a bit more vindictive...yes, but i could take several days for the owner to actually notice.

I hate it when people think they are being "funny". :nono:

DOT 3 brake fluid ruins paint. DOT 4 not so much if at all.

Good rule of thumb: Don't get an liquid other than water or wax on the paint.

Did the vandal get some of your neighbors, or just you? That's an important clue as to who it was.

And if he got your neighbors, your had a good chance to help them out by clearing their exhausts.
