I have a flag out in front of my house and someone actually tore it down. I am not saying I saw the person but it is torn pretty good. They must have done it during the night. Also, my cover for my AC is gone... WTF? Nice.
I have to get out of this POS neighborhood. Hope the buggers come back for some more and I can catch them... I'm not exactly thinking friendly thoughts here. Any ideas on how to catch the culprits?

Step 1. Buy an AR-15 (civvie M-16).
2. Load it.
3. Point it at your vandals.
4. Pull the trigger.
(NOTE: Shoot to kill or they can sue you.)

Shoot below the waist and it's not attempted murder. Thank you Chapelle show.
Seriously though, I know the feeling, perhaps even to a greater degree. Some guy broke into our house and ripped us off pretty good. I'm still trying to decide on a wood or aluminum baseball bat.

Setup a web cam and try to catch them. Then wait for them to come back, there is nothing a good paint ball gun can't handle.

That reply was almost as worthless as this one.

If you are as mean-spirited in real life as you often are on these fora, perhaps it was divine justice.

Aluminum 'cause you can get a lighter bat, which means more bashing.
Uh, I mean, silly American.

Hmmm, shouldn't it be "I had a flag..." then?
What flag was it?

There's only one thing that annoys the hell out of me more than seeing acts of genocide, and that's flag waiving lunatics with their American flags fluttering in the wind. God knows what that is all about, but it's quite disturbing.
Ghost, next time, don't be having a flag in your garden, it's not cool, or smart.

Was it a confederate flag? Maybe you pissed of someone.

Lol, it might even have been an Iraqi flag, the horror of it.

String yourself up the flag pole. Flap demurely until they draw near. Then unfurl at close range.
Or... wet one of your corners and snap at them.
That'll show them what for.

You really should move to a better neighborhood.
We chose our location primarily because it is a working class town with very little crime.
By very little crime I am talking 5 over the speed limit type crimes.
I often wonder if I should lock my house up when I leave, but then I wonder how I'll get in as I have lost the keys a while ago.
Seriously, move.

You're just bummed out that you flunked my class.

In my neighborhood there are more Mexican flags than American flags hanging outside.

Did you position your flag with Tables or Cascading Style Sheets? If you used Tables I could understand the outrage.
Or maybe flying the flag was so 9/26/2001. Most of us grew up and started using common sense.

This thread reminds me of Bowling for Columbine, which I only saw recently. I love the way he goes to Canada and find everyone's front door open. Oh and the way there were no gun deaths there, even though they had the same access to guns.
Step 1. Buy an AR-15 (civvie M-16).
2. Load it.
3. Point it at your vandals.
4. Pull the trigger.

I don't own a gun. Nor do I lock my house, car, garage. Ever.
When I was a kid I never had a house key. Why? The house was never locked.
And I live in the US. How about that.
I know people who live in Big Cities in Canada that lock their stuff up as well.
Oh and the way there were no gun deaths there, even though they had the same access to guns.
Did he actually say that?

Why should you be thinking that? We're rolling on the floor laughing our arses off. I would have paid to have seen his expression when he walked out the house.
