I can only imagine what I'd do to Ethan if he ever did this!!!!!!

On the trip home from the Orlando FIRE show I received a call from the building owner where my warehouse is. I right away go SHIP what got out? He said Neil I'm here with the North Royalton Police Department and I thought to my elf "AHSSSSSHAT, WHAT GOT OUT" (followed by many small heart palpation's).

Phil put the officer on the phone and he asked me if I was the owner a white cargo van parked in the rear of the lot I told him that I was and he proceeded to tell me that apparently some kids felt the need to totally destroy several vehicles left behind the building for the weekend. He took some info from me and these are some of the pictures that I took once I got back.












Beyond my van they also destroyed the old blue plow truck in the 2nd photo and next door to me is a Train air and heating office. One of their cargo vans parked out back was destroyed as well.


Please beat to near death any of your children who are this irresponsible and ignorant to think this type of thing is fun.

I feel for you Neil! That is just wrong.....on the other hand kids will be kids....and hopefully they catch them and the parents let them know how wrong this is!


i know if it was me ..... i wouldn't be able to sit down for a month... and i would have to to clean your snake poo for a year!

[LadyOhh]

I never understood children that did that, nor did I ever understand TP-ing, or anything else that would make another person suffer at the hands of your amusement...

I'm so sorry to see you have to deal with this, Neil.

[Kesslers Kreatures]

Wow, thats horrible. I hope they find out who did this!

[Laooda]

Mannnn..... not cool. So sorry that happened Neil! Is insurance going to fix the damage?

Kids will be kids, but this actually hit felony levels. They totaled my van out due to over $5,600 in damages. The guy that owed the blue truck is just out, he uses it to plow in the winter and does not carry insurance on it in the summer as its just parked out back and the heating and air's guys van has over a thousand in damages on it as well. They also tossed rocks threw the windows of the building next door. In a half hour they did well in excess of $10,000 in damage. I did some stupid things as a kid, but not once destroyed someone else's personal property just for fun.

On mine they are. I may be a progressive customer for life. I had just got new insurance 2 days before leaving for Florida and did not even have my insurance packet with cards in it yet when the van was destroyed. When I got back and reviewed the policy it had an * next to the van saying max payout was only $1,000. I had just paid 4 times that for the van. After about an hour and half on the phone I got them to adjust the value of the van up to just over $4K so everything worked out alright.

OMG. What is wrong with kids today. That would have never even crossed my mind or any of the kids I was growing up with. Still today the people I hang out with love to have fun and do stupid things, but nothing ever like that or anything that would cause anyone else any kind of damage.

[Mike Cavanaugh]

have their been any other reports of similar activity in the area? Usually these things don't just happen once. Hopefully they get caught the next time!

[tigerlily]

What a horrible way to come home. I'm so sorry Neil.

I have never understood the urge to destroy something for the sake of it's destruction. I would never say that my children would NEVER do that (since that seems a sure way to make it happen), but if I ever found out they did.... ooohhhh... there would be some serious reprecussions. The least of all being that they repaid for the damages.

Again my sympathies on the damages, and I hope they find out who was responsible.
