The closest members I can think of are in Plano. Go check your fuel filler tube real careful for sugar.

Is there an all-night garage where you could have it towed? AAA? Since you're worried about contaminated fuel you're going to want to have the tank drained anyway. Or the towing company should have a yard. Hope you can swing this OK.
Hey, wait a minute do you have comprehensive? If so call the insurance company and tell them you want it towed and preserved before there is further damage. The can get a company to seal it off (e.g. major plastic over the broken glass) in their yard, then clean it out and get the repair work started at a body shop. And you pay your deductible (hope you're covered). |

CJ... sorry to hear about this. Check your list and check it twice... who did you piss off lately. If you cant think of anyone in particular Check the other cars in the area, might be some punks just out for summertime fun.
Hope their "summertime fun" gets them some "summertime jailtime" That is just some vicious vengeful crap. |

Look at the filler tube real careful. Since the prefered media is usually sugar, look for stray crystals.
I'd also take a good look around your oil filler. |

Car vandils suck. Someone broke into my truck about six months ago. And I'm still pissed. They broke up my stearing column on the blinker side. I have a theft lock key so they didn't get my truck. We'll I didn't have the money for my deductible. So my blinker dosen't work. So if your behind me. Don't get pissed I didn't use my blinker to turn. And when ever I buy a vehicle. I buy a locking gas cap. I suggest everyone else do the same.

No witnesses, I guess, & no security cams around.
I wonder if the ex has any cuts on her hands [:)] Or if she'd get a weird expression or quirky voice if your car came into discussion without directly being the topic. You are making a report, right? If nothing else and it's safe, you could sleep in the car. Otherwise some garbage bags and duct tape might help if there's a chance of rain. |

I say call the cops if you havent already done so, get the car fingerprinted and I am willing to bet that if it was not your wife, chances are she damn well knew who did it. HOw does that saying go? "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" Oh and about the engagement ring. TAKE THE MUTHAFUCKA! Its yours, you paid for it and it is an exchange for her hand in marriage. She doesnt want the marriage then she cant have the ring. SIMPLE! Sorry I am going off on a rant here. I dont mean to preach when you are in a bad situation right now. Just hope what goes around, comes around... too bad most of the times we are not around to see it happen. |

The old sugar in the tank gag is mostly an urban legend nowadays. Fuel filters catch most of it and it takes quite a bit of sugar in the first place. Were I you I'd look *closely* into the filler tube and if I didn't see anything odd I'd drive it home. If you do see something odd just drive the tank dry. Sugar only harms an engine as it cools down. You can burn it out if she didn't put too much in. Sounds like her "friend" that she got to do this didn't know too much about vandalism. No brake fluid attack? Nails around the car? Bet "he" just put some water in the tank. Yellow of course.

Couple of points..
As previously posted, check the filler neck. If you don't see any sugar traces you're OK. Hard to be neat pouring sugar. Check an all-night gas station nearby. Ask if you can pay to park over night. Cover whole car with cheap tarp from Wally World. Now this is the most important. Chill out! Revenge is a dish best savored cold. Wait. Verify. Verify. Wait. Then come down on the bastards like the hammer of God when they least expect it and in a manner they will not associate with you. Then, like the commercial goes, "rinse and repeat". |
