I feel like staking out my neighborhood's parking lot with a shotgun.

Some jackass kicked over my bike last night, cracked the windscreen and right mirror, and scraped the right fairing. I'm thinking it was just random idiocy, but if it happens again I'm going hunting.

Now, let's not get hasty. Are you sure it was intentional?  Any way it was an accident?

I was not there, but just trying to understand.

Do we know it was somebody? I mean down here in Fl we can get some nasty down burst! Also, may not be on flat surface. I've had my bike knocked over twice but once I found the car with Flick's paint on it!

Did you scrape Flicks paint off the car with your keys?

It happened again last night. No wind, flat surface, backed to the curb. I'm waiting for the police to show up so I can give a statement.

I would flip my shaZam!, were i you. I'd stake out so hard, and run that mother fuker down. He would have to pray that i kept it together while i waited for the cops.

Damn man that's sad.
See if someone will let you hide out in a car that's normally there.

mmm not good situ ... direct confrontation could get ugly too i'm guessing.. maybe .. if finances permit ... one or two 'stealthily located' micro cams could be placed to get the fools on video .. then take the footage to the cops..

the laws here in Aussie and over there are gonna differ somewhat .. but here with 'caught in the act' video the cops are much happier to sort things out... if we went up and started whalin' on the perp .. while satisfying .. may result in a assault charge back at ya!  :confused:

hope it stops happening for you soon  :thumb:

a cheap wildlife observation camera. once "evidence" is obtained, can sell camera to  a random hunter easily.

While frontier justice might be more satisfying, get the micro-camera and book'em Danno

A friend and I were out there last night in my car, which is always parked in the same spot. Nothing happened, I may try again next Friday in case it was a weekend visitor or something.

Actually, the guy who hit it is a friend and coworker. You can see him reach for his phone to call me at the end. He asks, "Hey is that your bike in the parking lot?"  My first thought was that he saw somebody riding away with it. So after I said yes, he says, "Well I hit it with the company truck." I was actually relieved.

Now, I park on the right side next to the cars, unless there are other bikes already in line on the left.
