I was about 2 miles away from home, on a main road this afternoon, and past an intersection where there was shattered glass everywhere. I thought it must have been quite a major accident, but found it strange that is was just glass and no place/metal parts anywhere.
I was approaching my exit, and made a lane change into the number 3 lane, where a public bus was in front of me. The bus was about 3 car lengths ahead, and I noticed something spraying out from one of the windows on its right hand side. I couldn't switch lanes, but was able to slow down significantly because there were no cars behind me. Whatever it was hit my car so hard, I got four bullseye chips in my windshield.
A few seconds later, the bus pulled over and so did I. I had so many chips in my bumper, head panel, grille, headlamps and hood it was unbelievable. I also noticed many little, broken glass pieces on my wiper tray. Turned on my hazard flashers and walked towards the bus, only to notice it had a windows out. Turns out two punk kids sitting at the very back, smoking cigarettes, had a bag full of empty glass soda bottles, which they threw at the window and smashed. The glass sprayed all over my car, and explained why there was so much glass at that intersection. Back there, they basically threw a whole bunch of bottles out an open window, but later on thought it was good fun to smash the window instead.
Needless to say, I called the cops to report the incident and my damage. Because greedy insurance companies are not willing to offer comprehensive insurance for vehicles over five years of age, I'm stuck having to pay for my damage...just what I needed. But I'm glad the cop booked those two scumbags in.
I know they can't be charged, considering both were 15, but hopefully riding in the back of a cop car and a few hours in a cell will give them the wake up call they need.
