Have you ever had a flashlight thrown at your brand new car? Well, I have. Let me tell you about the time some guy decided to launch a flashlight at my beloved vehicle, and how I dealt with the situation in a slightly unconventional way.
🚗 The Incident: Guy Threw A Flashlight at my Brand New Car
One evening, after a long day at work, I pulled into a gravel lot to quickly change my clothes before heading to a party. Little did I know that this seemingly innocent decision would lead to a bizarre encounter that I’ll never forget.
🔦 The Attack: Vandalism with a Flashlight
As I was changing in my car, a group of random guys emerged from a house across the street, one of them wielding a flashlight. At first, I was puzzled by their presence, but things quickly took a dark turn.
They started attempting to pry open my car doors, all the while shouting at me and waving the flashlight in my face. It became apparent that they were upset about my headlights shining into their house, although it was an unintentional mistake on my part.
Before things escalated further, I made a quick decision to drive away to avoid any physical confrontation. However, as I was leaving, one of the guys threw his flashlight at my brand new car, causing damage to the exterior.
😡 My Reaction: Taking Matters into My Own Hands
Needless to say, I was furious. No one messes with my car, especially not with a random flashlight. Determined to get back at these troublemakers in a non-violent yet satisfying manner, I came up with a plan.
Later that same night, I rallied a few of my buddies from the party and returned to the gravel lot. We parked our cars strategically and collectively shone our high beams into the house of those individuals who had damaged my car.
🔍 Investigating the Damage: Assessing the Impact
Upon closer inspection, the flashlight had left a noticeable dent on the side of my car. It was clear that a repair would be needed to restore my vehicle to its former glory. Here’s how I navigated the aftermath of the incident:
1. Documenting the Damage: I took photos of the dent caused by the flashlight to have evidence of the vandalism.
2. Contacting Insurance: I called my insurance company to report the incident and inquire about coverage for the repair.
3. Seeking Repair Estimates: I visited a few auto body shops to get quotes for fixing the damage and chose the most reputable one.
4. Filing a Police Report: I filed a police report to document the vandalism and provide any information that could help with the investigation.

After taking the necessary steps to address the vandalism and ensure that the perpetrators faced consequences for their actions, it was time to focus on repairing the damage to my car.
1. Dent Removal: The auto body shop I chose was able to fix the dent caused by the flashlight using professional dent removal techniques.
2. Paint Touch-Up: Once the dent was removed, the area was repainted to match the rest of the car seamlessly.
3. Final Inspection: I inspected the repaired area to ensure that the damage was completely resolved and that my car looked as good as new.
🌟 The Lesson Learned: Standing up for Myself
While the experience of having a flashlight thrown at my car was unsettling and frustrating, it taught me a valuable lesson about standing up for myself in the face of adversity. Instead of resorting to violence or retaliation, I found a creative and assertive way to address the situation and protect my belongings.
In conclusion, the incident of vandalism with a flashlight may have caused temporary damage to my car, but it ultimately empowered me to take control of the situation and seek justice in a constructive manner. Don’t mess with someone’s car – you never know how they’ll handle it!
If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, remember to stay calm, gather evidence, and explore all available options to address the damage done to your vehicle. And most importantly, never underestimate the power of shining a light on those who try to bring darkness into your life.
Throwing stuff at a car for shining headlights at their house is a bit carried away lol
They shouldn’t have been aggressive, and they should have left it alone after they got what they wanted by chasing you off.
I read it as fleshlight and was very confused.
And then what happened?
Talk about great petty revenge, OP. By the way, how much damage was done to your car?
