Oh, look, the disgruntled teen in question.

What a moron.

Naw, just someone who likes to have a good time and enjoys a good prank! Maybe you can send them a glitter bomb! Either way don’t involve the police or school authorities. It’s all in good fun.

Good fun doesn’t cause property damage.

Clean it off sooner than later. When I was little someone egged our house and my parents were busy with all us kids/jobs/life and by the time we washed it off that next weekend it had faded the paint so we had to live with it for years before my parents could repaint the whole house.

This happened to us 2x last year. We suspect an angry XBF. We have cameras but he thru them from the sidewalk in front of our neighbor's house and those who have cameras aren't positioned to capture that spot. The neighbors' cars were collateral damage.

In terms of clean, we found it best to use something like Top Job/Lysol and a telescoping brush like you'd use to wash an RV, especially if it dried at all. A pressure washer was ineffective because if it was powerful enough to get the egg off, it would damage the siding.

We called the police each time. The 2nd time we had an excellent female officer who, when we told her who we suspected, contacted the school resource officer and went to the boy's house. He, of course, denied it but given how far he had to throw the eggs and that he's a star baseball player....we had no more incidents after that.

Someone is just egging you on…

Contact your insurance before you wash the car. My cousin was instructed to leave the egg on the car and get photos. Insurance paid to have the car repainted.

I'm so sorry this happened. If you think it was targeted, make sure your kid is ok and that your reaction doesn't make them feel worse.

Power wash the building

You put it on Nextdoor and any neighborhood Facebook groups or listservs. You need camera evidence. Someone will recognize the kids and tell the parents. They may or may not come forward.

You only tell the school if your kid goes to the same school.

You only call the nonemergency police line to inquire about documentation, but it’s not necessary for an insurance claim (which seems like overkill).

WTF! I woke up and heard what was like a pounding sound but didn’t explore (I’m in townhouses, there are always noises).

How do I clean it? The egg is now fried on and on the 2nd and 3rd floors where I can’t reach. Are there places to help with this?

It’s also on my car. I’ll wash the car but the shell is stuck on and I’m praying it won’t damage the paint. Any advice?

When my neighbor across the street wakes up, I’ll ask her to look at her camera to see if the kids and/or car can be identified but then what? Do you go to the school? Police?

Thank you for help and advice from this upset mother!
