I was driving home from my softball game last night in the dark(around 8 PM)....as I proceed down a back road, I hear 2 loud banging noises and see something hit my windshield. I've been in a friends car while it got shot by a paintball before and recognized the noise instantly. I pulled over to the next lit area and looked over the car. There were 2 paintballs splattered on the car. One all over the door and front panel, the other on the windshield and a bit of the roof.
Some kids/teens must have been hiding in the woods and shooting at cars as they drove by. Why...oh why do poeple need to do stupid shit like this? I wanted to kill.
Fortunately, it doesn't appear that there was any damage...although I will need to rewax the impact point, because I noticed that the rain wasn't beading up on that spot today.
I was driving down the road in my truck one night a few years ago. I had two friends with me. We heard a loud bang noise. I pulled over to see what the noise was. One of my friends spotted a BB size dent in my passenger door. We drove back to the spot where it happened to see if we could find the kids. We didn't find them, but there was a shed on the side of a house with a window that was half open...We didn't do anything, but I was so pissed!!
A few years back some kids thought it was funny to through chunks of broken up sidewalk at peoples cars as they drove by. I ending up getting a dent and scrapes in the right rear door. As I was inspected the damage they hit another persons car going the other way. Never did find them. Filed a police report to just for documentation in case they were ever caught.
I guess on a positive note, the concrete didn't hit my car a few inches higher and farther forward. Otherwise it would have hit me instead as I was driving 50mph.

Call the police partyman, if you had you windows down you could have caught one of those in your eyes causing permanent damage & maybe causing you to lose control of your car. It's no harmless prank.
Hopefully the police cruise the area, get drilled in the windshield and the kids get the correct end of a night stick.

I saw something on one of those 60minutes, Dateline shows like a year ago about some dumbass kids that decided it would be fun to go around and shoot innocent people, but with paintball guns while driving past them. They also thought it would be a good idea to video tape the entire thing. Long story short the tape was found and it apparently is a serious crime. I forgot what they received because I believe they were juveniles but if i remember correctly it went through a full blown trial.

This really sucks. Sorry to hear about it, partyman. At least there wasn't much damage. Stupid kids. If I ever caught my kid disrespecting other people's property there'd be hell to pay.
This kind of mischief can sometimes be caught buy going back to the scene where it took place a little earlier. More than likely they will come back for some more pot shots. Then sneak up and scare the sh!t out of them, take their paint gun away and shoot them with it. There are some other things I would probably do as well, but this is not the place to discuss my evil ways.
Oh...trust me, I considered going back and messing with them.
But considering it's an area that I'm not overly familiar with, plus the fact that it was pitch black out, in addition to the fact that I knew that 2 or more people with guns are running around in the woods looking for things to shoot at...me being unarmed and going after them could only result in bad things for me.
