Is it summer? Tell us of a story of you being a vigilante

Not sure if this qualifies.

My old shop location was at the end of a commercial complex. Units started street side with unit A and ended at the very back with unit Z.

Being in the last unit was nice as we had a lot of exterior space for vans, loading etc. Side effect was it was also a great dumping ground for other people's junk. Mattresses, couches, trash etc all seemed to show up in the middle of the night. 

One Sunday morning, I was in the shop in my office and noticed a pick up truck roll by. They had a mattress set in the bed.  Someone already had dumped a crappy recliner out back the night before.  So I waiting a few min and walked outside. 

There stood a guy and girl and an empty truck bed. Mattresses up against my shop wall next to the recliner. 

They were startled to say the least when I rounded the corner.

I looked at them and said load it back up. They started to say it wasnt theirs, and I expected that answer. 

So I said nope. Load it up now, the police have been called and take it all. 

Stunned they said what. I said yes take your recliner as well.  

He started getting shitty and she said ok we will take it. I wasn't backing down. 

Watched them load up their crappy mattresses and the recliner that someone else has dropped off. 

Was awesome and hopefully taught them a lessen.

I've had some vigilante work done on me. I was once married to a lady who hated me. While spending time with my kids, you know that B.S. called child visitation....... Well, she came by to pick up the kids at the apt I had to rent for 6mos. Low and behold, my truck just happened to get (KEYED) down the side of the door that same day. Of course she denied it. Says a lot of things happen at an apt complex. The truck was fine that morning. Go figure. I guess I was owed that one. Peace 

 
I heard of this guy that didn’t pay his workers at the end of a job, he claims someone put super-glue in his vehicle’s door locks and put Fix-All through his irrigation system.

 
We were in the building material business. I had a bricklayer who was always buying window glass. One day I asked him WTH he was doing with all the glass. He said, " This is my insurance".  What?!  Turns out whenever he laid up a chimney, so far up he would mud in a piece of glass. He would tell the people don't light the fire until I tell you it is done curing.  Well, curing was him getting his final payment, then he would drop a brick on a rope down the chimney. If they tried to shaft him they were in for a smoky surprise.

High School thinking it was maybe Freshman or Sophomore year. Walking to school had a guy crossover to the wrong side of the flooded street and soak me and my buddy. So later that day while walking home when we saw his freshly washed truck sitting in his front yard we decided to help out a little by putting the hose in his front wing window.

High School a tear or so later my buddy who was with me in the rain incident was dating a girl who's last boyfriend did not treat women the way they should.  Anytime we saw his car a VW baja bug we would either take the coil wire and toss it or switch the coil wire with one of the plug wires when we heard he started carrying an extra coil wire.

We then heard back that if he ever caught my buddy touching his car there would be hell to pay. So one night while we were out and about we saw his Baja sitting in the parking lot at Aquarius ( Skating Rink), So we stopped my buddy climbs on top of his car and waits for this guy to walk out.   Needles to say it did not go as that guy expected. He got his ass kicked and the girl he was out with, well I started dating her soon after and that guy well he disappeared never to be seen again.

i heard that before on a car hoist, they said that when they are paid they would put the piston lock in so the shaft cant come all the way out.  it wasnt me and dont think that is even a possibility  lol

 
About 20 years ago, playing 8 man football at Robb Field, a car stops on the side of Sunset Cliffs with the horn blaring away and a woman screaming for help. Look over and some piece of chit is beating the fawk out of the girl in the passenger seat. Couple of buddies and I run over top speed, fall over the fence and try to stop it. Dude sees us, stops and woman falls out of the car while he peels out. 

Got to testify in court a couple of months later. Hope that bastard is still rotting (but doubt it). 

 
I was about 17 years old and my buddy Vince and I were skateboarding at the First Interstate bank across from the bowling alley...this old dude walks up with his left arm under his right armpit and says we shouldn't be hanging out here, if this place were to get robbed, you could get hit.

He then pulls a gun out and points it at my face, over at Vince's face then back at mine!

To this day I can still picture it....

Anyways, without hesitation I grabbed Vince and pushed him around the corner, full knowing that I was gonna get shot...but we made it around the corner and ran into the bowling alley.

We got the manager and told him what happened and to call the COPS ASAP!!!!

The cops are called and the manager walks out there to see for himself...30 seconds later is running in, YEAH!!!! That guy has a gun! :simrak:

Cops came and they arrested the guy. He was wacked out of his mind and had a 8 page rap sheet of chit on him.

So then the court date comes and we both have to testify. 

The guys attorney asks me my name, I tell him. He then asks if I still lived at such and such in Arcadia... :kenk:    :simrak:

WTF???? The dude that pulled a gun on me is sitting 20' feet from me and you want him to hear where I live????

Uh...no!

Anyways...the guy goy put away.

I once beeped my horn @ an old lady that was taking entirely too long to hobble across the street.  Does that count???  LOL.  

and to be clear, it was my wife & I thought it was a bad idea, so I did not do it.  LOL.

Had a buddy who loved to reach over while you were driving and hit your horn, Thn do the what are you doing look at you.  He also liked to talk to people at the lights

So 

One day driving across Phoenix, It was summertime and if in the summer you have your windows down it only means one thing. You do not have AC in your car. So we are sitting at probably the longest street light in the valley at the time, and still to this day....  I am driving he is sitting shotgun. Just as we stop at this light be blurts out.  "Now What are you going to do with that" 

Guess the girl stopped next to us was knuckle deep in her nose and pulled out something that wasn't very lady like. 

Next thing he says is " Your going to put it under the seat aren't you"

About this time I notice she is rolling the window up and he kept saying things . Trying to give her an idea of what to do with the bogger. 4 minutes of pure humiliation for the poor girl.

Same guy a few days later. Again sitting in the passenger seat.  This time we are driving slowly thru an accident scene. It had just happened and both party's two old guys in maybe their 50's  were out of the cars and having a pretty heated argument. Just as we ar passing the two guys at like 1MPH , My buddy this time say's...

"Just Hit Him" , next thing you know the one old guy is swinging and the other guy is swinging back. 

 
My old boss used to call my buddy & me "Instigator and accelerator".  we did this stupid sheet all of the time.  mostly just to mess with folks, not to be complete a.z.z holes.  LOL.

holy smokes i'd hate to see what you would call me.....I just hit 60  lol

 
Way back in the 90's I was staying at the Embassy Suites in San Dimas. I stepped out onto the balcony and looked down at my car, at the time a 91 Camaro. As I did there was some dude trying to open the door., it took me a second to register what I was actually seeing. Then when It hit me, I yelled, Get the Eff away from my car!! Guy looks up and stumbles back apparently drunk then smirks at me and points his finger like a gun and goes bang bang. I turn around and grabbed my Glock 19 came back out, chambered a round and pointed it back down at him. The look on his face was priceless as he then bolted away..
