background: I rent an apartment with a garage. The garage is in a row of garages, all connected w/particle board walls between the units. The garage next to mine is the hangout for a few kids who apparently have turned it into their little clubhouse. They look like they're about ten years old or so. They have a couple shitty couches, they've dented the shit out of the garage door, and they've painted adorable children's graffiti on the walls, inside of the door, etc.
So last spring, I pulled my car out and noticed the kids had knocked some holes in the wall. Obnoxious, but they're kids, so I just tell the apartment manager and they patch the holes. Now, here's where I'm dumb. I pretty much just keep a few things in my garage (jumper cables, some tools, some cans I'm too lazy to return to the store) during the summer because I'm too lazy to put my car in there at night -- it's pretty safe in the lot and there's no snow to brush off it, whatever. I lost track of time and probably didn't open the garage for a month or even two. Yeah, I pay for it, I should use it, etc.
Anyway, the little fuckers had somehow forcibly removed a panel of the wall and messed with my stuff. wtf? I still haven't figured out why the apartment complex lets their parents rent the garage when the kids have destroyed the door and made a mess.
I don't know if I want to take revenge on kids, but they need something...

Some people are just rotten from birth. But why should these kids get all the vandalizing fun? Rent a jackhammer and construct a stake-lined deadfall pit in your garage. Conceal the opening with a rug. You'll have to weigh down the corners, just enough to keep the rug flat, not so much to render the trap nonfunctional. Post a sign that reads "Please do not leave dirty shoeprints on my rug," and wait for the fun to begin!!!!!!

I think you can redeem them for a nickel up until age 12 in MA.

Anyway, the little fuckers had somehow forcibly removed a panel of the wall and messed with my stuff. wtf?what stuff? you jsut said there wasn't anything in there but jumper cables and a few other things. kids do dumb crap, ask them to apologize. it's not like they went in there while your car was there and set up camp in the backseat.

Hey, when you need your jumper cables you need 'em. You don't appreciated some kid making off with them just because he needed to torture his little sister's Barbie doll.
