I used to have a sign on my door for the local anime club. It was very cool. About a week ago, it was torn down and returned in pieces. Someone deliberately did that. So, I repaied it and put it back up. This morning the pieces were soaked in detergent, and shaving cream. I don't think I've made any enemies, but I guess I'm wrong. The question is, why? Me and my roommate haven't pissed anyone off. Ever. We are actually model citizens for our floor.I'm pissed that some people have nothing better to do than destroy other people's stuff. Does anyone else have a similar problem/story? Any advice how to track down the culprits a/la Sherlock Holmes? Any ideas for what I should do to them when I find out? Oh, and if you are in Michigan State's Bailey Hall, and you are one of these fuckers, I WILL find you, you drunken piece of shit.

im sure funds are limited, so some sort of motion detector/vid camera hookup is prolly out of the question....but you could cover it agno3 (i dont even remember the actual way to write that, in chem i always just said "agno three") and it will turn their skin black...and then youll know who did it...if thats not feasable...well, dunno..

I'm thinking either a way to send electricity to them, or have them make noise. They're obviously spending some time out there playing with your sign, so you'll have ample opportunity to catch them.Maybe webcam, maybe a quick circuit hooked to the sign that would trip when the sign is touched, going to a bell or whistle. Whatever. And, the AGNO3 (Silver Nitrate) is a good idea, if it does that. It may just turn black in the light, though.

Oh, ho, ho, irony! Oh, no, no, we don't get that here. See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was getting tired of being stared at.

first off, lam0r, get the fuck back in your place and don't be callin our regulars a dork.second, try the AgNO3. or coat the back of the sign in black shoe polish. when the dude goes to rip it up, it'll end up *all* over him. and probably his clothes too. then you find out who the culprit is. ------------------

i had something similar happen I used to write funny messages on my white board like "all your base are belong to us" and such, and people kept writing "GAY" on there underneath. also, someone ripped down all my physics quotes and jokes, but i think it was just a drunk person who couldn't stand up by himself.oh yeah and some idiot from the 7th floor stole all of the whiteboard markers from everyone's door last semester. that was uber lame.

<sarchasm>You could light it on fire and then see who has burned hands.....</sarchasm>How big is it? Is there any backing? Would you be willing to do another one to catch the fuckers that fucked the first one up? I have a very effective "Anti-theft" device that I built to keep the neighbors dog out of our trash. It runs off 12 volts and among other things has an ignition coil in it from a caddilac. It "works" very well.. and needless to say the dog stays the fuck back from our trash now.(Hed rip it to shreds all over the parking lot...and it was in a big plastic can) ------------------

First off, let me give everyone an update. I got the jpeg of the sign off the anime club website. Along with my printer, I can make an infinite supply. I definitely have more pieces of paper than there are days left in the semster, so they could rip it down every night, and it would be up again in a matter of hours.Second, when they ruined the first sign, they left the pieces in a frisbee. To anyone reading who did that and wants it back, tough luck. I threw it in the dumpster after I washed it, and I heard the garbage truck come yesterday morning. If you want your precious frisbee back, you'll have to dig through a landfill, which should be second nature to you. Finally, thanks to the detnetters for all your support. I don't think a security system or any shoe polish would be neccesary. (it could ruin my door, and definitely the sign) Besides, I'm having fun mocking those who try. The first replacement sign proclaimed "I Got A Million Of 'Em!" While the second (and current) replacement says "I Can Do This Forever!" In the words of the french guard from Monty Python and the Holy Grail: "Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!"

he's been here longer than you. i'd say he makes up for it in longevity. just because someone doesn't post as much doesn't make them unregular. ------------------

you have whiteboards on your doors? you deserve to have shit written on them bah wtf!?
Posted by fire_502 on Mar. 26 2001,00:01
that's a big thing in the dorms here...to steal all the markers off the whiteboards on everyone's doors. so then everyone rigs up this thing where you tie the marker to the inside of the door knob with a long string, then wrap the string in several layers of duct tape...they can't just grab the marker and the thick "chain" is too hard to just snip through with scissors as you are running down the hallway. but then they can just take the cap off and your marker dries out. it's pointless. the dorms suck. that's why i moved out.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: someone who deserves the title: lam0r.Plus, those who are truly insane don't go flaunting it around. We keep it bottled up and release it at appropriate times.
Posted by solid on Mar. 27 2001,03:03
Start a new thread about this lam0r thing this one's about vandalism.I mean I know how topics shift around but this is so incredibly unrelated..
Posted by Bozeman on Mar. 27 2001,06:16
The third sign is still up. I think they finally quit.Hey, I actually won one! Take that, universe!
Posted by kuru on Mar. 27 2001,06:27
you've heard of 'shit or get off the pot' right?well i don't give a damn how LONG someone's been here if they never contribute anything worthwhile to the conversation. hang around for almost a year, say almost nothing, and when you do speak, act like an ass. that doesn't get you anywhere with me. it's quality, not quantity. ------------------

Find a way to rig electricity to the sign. Nothing says “YOU”RE WRONG” like 240 volts.
Posted by Sithiee on Apr. 05 2001,08:50
uhhh....maybe, but nothing seriously says your wrong like 3000 amps.
Posted by Neophyre on Apr. 05 2001,11:27
hehe it's the amp's that kills ya
Posted by MeatJam on Apr. 05 2001,21:03
Then stick them on the door instead of that sign.. not only is it cool (polish their bones predator style?) but it changes your "model citizen" tag to "Mad muthafuka" and just watch everyones respect turn into absolute fear! It's amazing what benefits come with that...
Posted by solid on Apr. 05 2001,22:24
or attach a string that fires a rifle (that you bought because your a model citizen?) near the door so when they try to pry it off, BAM and we've got one dead motherfucker who think he so cool! but who da foo!I pity da foo who try to vandalize! </Mr. T>
Posted by oVerdose on Apr. 21 2001,16:47
Okay, I may not be the world's best engineer or anything, but I guess you can attatch aluminum foil to the back of your sign, then attatch a wire to a wire from a cut extension cord, then attatch another wire to the other wire in the extension cord and attatch it to your doorknob. Then, put Play-Doh on your sign and stick it to the door, and plug in the extension cord. Of course, if the vandals hold the sign and the doorknob at the same time, that would suck (for you, as well), because the resulting short circuit would probably set fire to the building.
DISCLAIMER: I, oVerdose am not responsible for any injuries to any party, whether physical or mental, if that party is actually stupid enough to try this.
