I live on a dirt road. It's single track and very windy. This particular part has a sheer drop off to the ocean.
Driving home with ds yesterday afternoon and out of nowhere two kids (between 10 and 12 I think) jump out at me and start pelting my car with water balloons. Trying to get them through the driver's window. (Luckily they didn't.)
They are my next door neighbours. They're only here for a month in the summer though.
It scared the absolute shit out of me. How I didn't crash in to a tree or go off the road I don't know.
I stopped and told them what a horrible thing to do it was and how dangerous it could have been. They laughed at me and ran off.
I drove home, turned around and drove back to go and speak to their parents (I'd seen the car home.)
Coming back they did it again!
I carried on past their house to go and sit further up the road and have a think. DH then came home and they did it to him too! He got out of the car and they ran off, their Mother was outside, dh told her what they'd been doing and she walked off and slammed the door in his face.
Turns out they did it to my brother in law the day before. They've been sat by the road with a big bucket of water balloons for a couple of days. Their Mother must have know, the only windows of the house and the porch look down at the road.
Anyway, so since we've had no apology. If it were my son I'd have marched him round there furious to apologise.
I want to lodge a complaint with the police (I've already spoken to the local policeman but he's not on duty until tomorrow night.) DH thinks we shouldn't stir things up. I think they could do with a talking to, I'm annoyed their parents clearly don't give a shit. Plus, if it happens again they could cause a nasty accident.
So I guess it's more of a - what would you do?
Also, we're in the States in an extremely low crime area (one burglary in 10 years) so I won't be wasting police time, they'd actually be thrilled to have something to do rather than sit on the side of the road trying to catch speeders.
