These intruders were wearing ski masks when this happened.

I asked somebody what I should do if I caught someone doing that in my garage and they told me "beat the hell out of them and kill them if you have to." I told this person that my biggest fear was that the intruders would be minors. He said "so what?"

Or the fact that the amount of shootings and murders in Columbus is at the highest rate it has been in years. Don't watch much news do you?

The funny part is after the garage got spray painted I called the cops and we got an estimate for the damages from my girlfriend's brother who is a contractor. He said "$1500". It worked out OK because the garage had shitty siding and the garage door actually collapsed on my head when I opened it once so I was planning on new siding/garage door anyway.

Fast forward 4 years later and my girlfriend reads in the newspaper that they caught the dude who did the spray painting (he was over 21, shocker). I thought nothing of it. About a year later I get a check in the mail for something like $300 from Mahoning County that says "restitution." I'm laughing because I thought it was a dead issue. Every so often we get a check for $10 or $20 and even got one for $100 a couple of weeks ago.

If I ever catch someone in that garage and I have them cornered I guarantee it won't be pretty. Besides sending my girlfriend to the emergency room, the clowns took a hatchet to the padding/seating on my weight equipment and I have a commercial gym in my garage. If they ever break into my house and mess with any of my cats it will be their death sentence.

Sebring is full of punk trash like Homeworth is full of hick trash.

At least that was what the Canton/Massilion folks led me to think...
