This happened quite a few years ago. We were standing around our bikes when a car came by and two beer bottles flew out at us (it was late at night) . We hopped on the bikes and chased them around town for a bit.. I was packing a little .25 auto .. I wasn't gonna shoot em but just scare em. I pulled it out when I got right beside em..I looked the at the driver and passengers. Young teenage girls. She saw me with the gun in my hand , freaked out and slammed on the brakes.. her car skidded sideways and they almost wrecked. They were so freaked out they went the wrong way down an on ramp to get away.
I was mistaken in that I thought it was some A$$hole guys that did it . I was completely surprised it was young and yes dumb girls. I am not sure how I felt about it. I was mad that they threw the bottles . but I totally backed off of my mad when they almost wrecked the car. I am still confused in my thoughts about it.. on the one hand .. F em, they could've seriously hurt someone.... and on the other hand I don't think I want to be the reason several young drunk girls got killed.
I am hoping that my scaring them like that would've made them think twice about doing something so stupid again.

Seems the deal in our area now is to take a large paper cup - fill it up with water and put it in the freezer!! Caught one of those on the left side of my truck the other night. Glad I wasn't on the bike!! I thought I had hit a deer. Didn't know what happened until I got home and found big chuncks of ice inside the headlight housing!!

Around here we are seeing those morons throwing trash no matter whose is watching,following,it does not matter.Last summer while out raking the front lawn happened to look up just as two weight challenged ladies threw McD bags out each side of their car glancing in my direction.It is soo hard to understand that mentallity!

happened to me once a few years ago riding my "loaned" r6. some fat cow of a woman in a mustang convertible just held up a huge bag of fast food and I pretty much took it in the face. thank god it was mostly empty. I dont think she meant to hit me, just didnt want her mustang with trash in it. I sped up to get her tag, as did she.. she knew what was coming. So I hung back and followed her carefully. She finally pulled into a neighborhood and into a house which I pulled up right beside her mustang as she was getting out. after quite a few words to a very scared looking cow I told her I'm reporting the WHOLE incident to the police, and my father was a deputy and he would be sure to get **** done (huge lie) and she offered me $250 to forget the situation.

MarioSteve - Well, did you take the money?
Followup - I know where they live and who they are - My initial thought was that it was kids doing it. Now it appears that it was a girl that threw the bottles and she is 43 years old. If her husband was driving, he is 47. Not a kid prank but adults with the intent of doing bodily harm. They live in a somewhat wealthy area close to where I live. I can only imagine that they were up on drugs or drunk or both. I am leaving it all in the hands of the local police. My knee jerk reaction is to confront them but things have a way of getting ugly so I will let the police do there thing.

Had something similar happen here a couple of weeks ago. Four 16 year old boys screwing around after school, one of them tossed a bottle of cologne out as they met a guy in a pickup at 35 mph. He took the bottle in the windshield, which shattered. He had the presence of mind to memorize the prestige plate and called 911. Just a few minutes after taking his report, I had the good fortune of meeting up with the same car full of kids within a few blocks of where it had happened. Three of them were all too happy to point the finger at #4, who also admitted it. He was ticketed for vandalism and his parents will be buying the guy a windshield.
