So today as I walked out of my GF's apartment I noticed that the car next to mine (an abandon old sedan with a tow sticker on it, and a flat tire) was COVERED in cheese sauce, bean dip, barbecue sauce, eggs and other condiments. As I got closer I noticed that a large amount of the junk had splashed onto my car. So I called the Washington county non-emergency number and reported it to police. After the call a lady came out and identified herself as a neighbor and said that she was very sure that he son had done this. She also called the cops. Well long story short the police arrived and spoke with the 2 kids, both about 12yrs old. One of the kids apparently had been in trouble with the cops before and it did not seem to have much effect. So the Officer asked if it would be alright if the boys washed my car. I agreed and watched them clean up my car with a 1 gallon jug and a rag. Admittedly it was not the best car wash but the point it I could see that these kids took it seriously.
So much I see that the law has been reduced to paperwork, it was nice to see kids actually fix the problem they caused.
