What would you do if....
you caught the fools who threw water balloons at your car? Last week when coming home from work, I heard a big "POW" and my windshield went dark. The the lights came back on and everything was wet. Good thing I had just closed my sunroof. Anyway, I pulled up to the curb and walked back to the apartment building and I had just passed and called the leasing number. No one answered so I left a message and told her what just happened. I didn't know which balcony it came from, but it was likely from the third of fourth floor. Another guy waiting on the sidewalk said the same thing. Long story short, the apt manager left me a message yesterday saying she knows who did it and wants to know what I want done about it. One option she mentioned was they can clean my car for me.. ( no freakin way!!). So I was thinking of some other options, like have them pay for a car wash, etc. What would you all do? (serious replies would be most helpful). TIA.

Yeah, I'm not sure if there's anything that's worth doing in this case. You might get a carwash, but you'll also develop a rep in your apartment as prissy if you, well... get prissy. So I say just tell them you'll let it go this time.

I think I am leaning to this too. In this day and age, it's best to lay low or they could cause more hassles. This especially the case since I live one building over. Hopefully the other apt manager has taken care of it with her own sort of punishment.

Don't be a crybaby or they'll continue to harass you. Tell the management to tell the offending party that you know who did it and you don't expect anymore problems from them. Do not confront them personally, it just allows a situation to get real ugly, real quick.

Yeah don't escalate the situation, if they know where to find you or your car. The next time it might not be water balloons landing on your car it will be rocks.
I'm not about taking **** from people but consider what might happen.
My gf was hassled by some preteen scum in front of a Starbucks a while back and had the manager chase them away. She returned to her car with her latte to find they had wacked the trunk of her GS300 with their skateboards before they left. Cost me $250 to remove the dents, paint is still chipped a little and one of the more difficult dents still shows a little. Its hard to match metallic paint.
