Someone threw a rock in my window

I am so pissed off someone threw a big rock in my window. I don't know who it was and they better be glad. And I don't know why. It couldn't have been an accident. I don't even know anybody here. My apt doesn't even face the road, you don't even know it's here unless you or someone you know lives back here. Now I don't know what to do. It's getting down in the 20s or 30s tonight and I gotta big hole in my window. I'm gonna freeze. I called the new landlord and no answer so I left a message. Should I make a police report? I want the police to take fingerprints from the rock and fingerprint everyone around here but I guess they wouldn't do that.

    Kevin can't throw a rock here from Japan. And my town is the Chosen Land cause it's the nicest, bestest towns with a nice private college with free tuition. (Aside from those rock throwers) OHhhhh I dare them to do it again, this time as soon as I hear something I'm running out and chasing them and they'll be sorry they were born. And nobody hunts deers here, I don't live in the woods. Now I look like I live in a ghetto place with a cardboard taped on a window Oh I'm so pissed off

    You dont want to be chasing anybody down the street, that could be dangerous. I suggest you call the police and make a report. They should be able to determine something.

    Try and stay warm tonight,

    Those dirty rats. You tell them you know somebody with a cousin named Guido and that Guido will be there to meet them. Guido likes to tie rocks to bad people's ankles and will fit them with cement shoes if you ask him nicely.

    Seriously, that is a shame and I am upset with your stupid landlord for not responding. (mention this to Guido as well).

    You will most likely end up paying for a new window yourself so you might as well do it before you freeze to death.

    Take care Sister Annoyed.

    If they try it again I'll catch em, whoever it is. I will sit on them till Hermana Pat comes and helps me beat them I will chase them too, with my cell and call the police to get those rascals if they dare to do it again. Why my window? I mind my own business and don't bother anyone. (in real life, not the forum )

    I am NOT paying for a new window, I didn't break it and I don't own the building. The landlord ended up calling back and said he's looking for someone who can fix it. So I'll be living with an attractive cardboard on the window till then.

    A stone like that must be bad karma, be happy that it came in form of a rock on your window and not in your head, be also glad that you have the opportunity to pay back some karma. And generally just be glad :-)

      WTF? Your telling her to be happy about this?

      Karma is BS...she got a rock thrown in her window because someone decided to throw it!

      Not because of some illusion you call "Karma"..

      You dont even know her for god sake...

        If you feel someone could breakin, get yourself a gun. Pepper spray is not effective on someone who may be on drugs like meth. A gun drops them everytime.

    Make a police report just in case.
    Don't make any public threats , just in case and you can't lift usable prints off a rock.
    You can see for yourself if you put the rock in a sealed glass container like a fish tank and pour a little crazy glue into a dish in the container. The gas from the crazy glue will develop latent prints. A rock, even a smooth river rock is probably too porous.

      Didn't you say you just moved in there recently? That rock might not even have been meant for you if so -- which is a good thing. Allen's right - decorate the thing, and be real creative - give the crooks an idea not to come back.

      Now in the meantime - make sure you are safe if someone decides to break in. Mix some cyan and water and let it soak together for a few days - then load a squirt gun with it. If anyone messes with you, squirt them in the eyes with that stuff and it will blind them temporarily - you will have either the time to get away - or the time to massacre the creep. Hopefully, it was just some kids out getting rowdy and it was nothing directed at you personally.

    What is cyan and where do you get it? That's a really good idea, a squirt gun loaded for protection to blind anybody dumb enough to break in. No, I haven't lived here long. I can't imagine it was personal cause I don't even know anyone around here.

        No I meant Cyan plant - Cayenne pepper is what it is called commerically - you get it in the spice isle of your grocery store. Good in many foods - and good sprinkled in your boots when it's cold, too.

        Now if I had been honest, I'd have said ammonia, but that will permanently blind someone and you can end up in court for that one unless you have the nads to kill the guy after you blind him and I suggest only doing that if he is in your house and you can cop out that you were cleaning when he broke in and hit him in the eye with your cleaning stuff. The law gets real defensive of criminals sometimes so you sometimes have to have more of a criminal mind than the criminals to get any justice. It's easier to get away with leveling an attacker (a crime that used to be considered justifyable self defense) when you are a female....uh...trust me on that one. LOL

    When I was a kid about 14 me and my mum and little sister were watching TV at night. A big rock came through the window and we could hear them yelling abuse outside.

    A couple of years later when i had become a delinquent a buddy who i had not known at the time confessed to me that it was him and said he was sorry.

    I grew up in a violent town, nearly got murdered by a child molester when i was 12.

      If it happens again, ask the landlord to replace the glass with a sheet of Lexan (polycarbonate). It's bulletproof (depending on the thickness and the weapon used).

    If it is an "internal job", it could have been your landlord who was the target rather than yourself. You should really have a good talk with your landlord about and request he replace the glass with an unbreakable one.

    Wow, that bites, but sure glad you are OK! I'd call the police to have a report written. It'll help with any future-related activities.

    And hey, tips here helped with our yard theft. We placed tacks sticking out both sides of our new replacement policital sign, and it's been standing a week now So maybe some tips from here can help you set up something.

    Not real creative in that department, so maybe TV will help, too, with setting up something silly like tacks.

    And hey, make sure you have renter's insurance! Don't know what it costs now, as we aren't renters, but it used to be cheap. Then when something like this happens, depending upon the policy, you can go to a hotel until the hole is patched and your insurance pays for the stay. That happened when a water line broken in an apartment I lived in quite a few years back. Get free hotel stay out of the deal - and free replacement of damaged goods and cleanup

    Well someone finally came today and he said they will have to order a new window.
    And "today" someone should come to hopefully FIX the heat. The heat doesn't work either. I hate this apartment I need to move

    We've had our window smashed once by some punk kids, and it looks like it was deliberate. The little pr***s..

      You can make your own cyanide by mashing apple seeds, apricot pits, cherry pits, mangoes, and bitter almonds with the rock that was thrown in your window. Or, you can just mix calcium cyanide with sulfuric acid.

          Actually, a cigarette can be a lethal weapon. It already has cyanide in it. So when someone breaks in to your home, just offer them a smoke. Cigarettes kill 500,0000 people every year, so be very careful how you use it, though. You could wipe out your whole neighborhood with this.
