Default my rc buggy MURDERED!!!

i had my car on the street when it got stuck on a pole. I sent my m8 to get it but before he got to it this woman came out crossed the road picked it up i said "put it down" she said "cut it off" i said "i cant unless u give me it" then her husband came out picked up a fence post and started hitting it i went mad but couldent do owt for fear of being hit myself.
needless to say he killed it it needs a new carb but i dont know the full extent of the damage im gunna take the body off when the cops get here tomorrow im gunna make them pay for repairs

also there is alot oil leaking out of the exaust wots causing that?

wow - that is really lame...

i think if that would have happened to me i would have gotten so pissed that that pole would have gone somewhere unpleasant. Good luck getting the money and stuff to repair it.

Man that really sucks. It sounds like you've handled it the right way and that they handled the situation poorly (assuming they haven't asked you not to run your car in the past). Just be aware that runing your car on public streets may be (likely is) against the law in your area. The noise from a nitro car may also be above your area's noise bylaws. These are two issues you should probably look into. It's probably a better idea to take it to a local field where it will be less likely to annoy people (just avoid areas with lots of kids and dogs etc).
I'd also recommend that you try not to escalate the situation by doing anything to antagonize them. By all means get the police involved, but take the higher road and avoid provoking these people.

Kinda same thing happened to my bro.

A few years a go when he was a skater dude, he used to hang out with like 20 people at this statue.

These old *$%£"?@ lived next to the statue in der house and would take pics of dem all the time. One dey he was scateboarding down a hill when they,

pulled over
pushed him off the skateboard
grabbed it and put it in their car, and den drove off

My bros mate jumped onto the car but to no use.

The people who took it obvoiusly got worried and they dropped it off outside a nearby police station

they were issued with warnings.

They were the hated people off the teenagers from then on.

I'd confront them and make them pay for any damage. Get the police involved. If you just a kid, get your parents to confront them for you.

Windows cost a lot of money, don't they
Dont forget about mailboxes, a base ball bat would do the trick

I would definatly get the police involved in this that is damage of your personal property, and i think they should definatly pay the damage.

It's real simple, call the police and tell them exactly what happened. They will determine if the other party is responsible for damages.

Do not stoop to their level and damage anything of theirs, it will get you nowhere and potentially in trouble yourself.

Well, the police can't make them pay for it, but small claims court can.

well if the police cant do anything then let your neighbors not hear the end of them. leave annoying messages on their answering machines, egg their house, make noise in the middle of the night, etc. let the police handle it first.
