| I'd take pictures, talk to my insurance company and maybe talk to the newspaper. It's too bad you didn't photograph or videotape them in action. Talking to neighbors and asking for help in keeping watch also should help, since they probably don't want crimes committed in their neighborhood either. If you have any friends among the perpetrators' peers, showing them the damage and hinting that you need help with the problem might help. Getting the insurance investigator involved might be helpful in stopping future attacks. I'm really sorry this happened to you! Another thought: Sometimes kids who run with gangs and act out their anger are armed. You could have been shot or something, if you frightened that one enough that he felt he had to defend himself. I'm glad you're not hurt. |
