Some people are total bastards

Before I start my rant: This is another one of the icons I made. It describes my mood pretty well right now.

I seem to be attracting bastards this month. >_< Cause guess what happened at work last night?

Nevermind, I'll just tell you.

I work as an overnight dispatcher for the local public school system. We're essentially the school police department. Our officers are real commissioned police officers. Some are retired and others are still part-time, but all have real police experience. No crappy security guards here. =P

Last night around 0130 in the morning, someone punctured all the tires of all our patrol vehicles. >_< We have nine. I think the only thing that saved my car was the fact that it was parked on the opposite side of our parking lot, instead of next to them like it usually is. (I drive a white car that could easily be mistaken for one of our patrol cars when parked next to them.) The worst part is that I was right there and couldn't do anything to stop it from happening. I wouldn't have even noticed anything if I hadn't heard the hissing of the air coming from the patrol car by the building. Surprisingly, it's rather loud. When I heard it, I looked up from my project and caught movement in one of the security cameras. I actually saw a guy running out from between our cars and away from the lot. At first I didn't realize what had been done so the police didn't check for damage. They just checked to make sure no one was sneaking around outside the building. So while they were looking outside, I checked all the doors from the inside. And to further satisfy my paranoia, I checked all the rooms too. When I was upstairs I looked down at the parking lot, just to see if anything had been damaged. (You get a pretty clear view from up there.) Anywho, I looked out and thought that one of the patrol cars looked a little "low". Sure I was just imagining things, I decided to double check, just in case. I seriously didn't think anything had happened. I mean, sure we've had vandals before, but here? Come on, it's a well-lit parking lot and the cars are about 10ft away from the building! (It's also small. You could maybe fit 20 cars in the lot where the patrol cars are. Nine of which would BE patrol cars.)

Turns out, I wasn't imagining things. From where I was standing, I could see flat tires on three of the cars, one of which I was positive had four flat tires. O_O

So after a few phone calls the police came back out and that's when we discovered all nine had their tires punctured. (Damned if I was gonna check that before we got an officer out there. A girl outside by herself at two in the morning? I don't think so. I ain't stupid.) Seriously, there were these nifty knife holes in each tire.

My car is okay. Luckily for me, I couldn't use the dispatcher parking space or there'd have been 10 cars with flat tires out there. @_@

But back to the whole bastard thing: The officer who came out made an excellent point, "What kind of person does this?" Best I could come up with was kids or someone who thought our cars were police vehicles. Which would be infinitely stupider to do, but isn't that the essence of most criminals? Stuuupiiid. But come on! We're school public safety! We're here to keep our children safe and this jackass comes out and punctures our tires! WHY?!
