well, at least it was a paintball gun

Somebody shot our garage with a paintball gun. Not exactly sure when. I have a feeling it was really early Sunday morning, like around 5:00 a.m., because I heard the pop, poppoppop of either pistol shots or cherry bombs, both of which are illegal in my neighborhood, but I wasn't about to get out of bed to go find out which one it was. Today I got home while it was still light enough to discover Peptol Bismol pink paint up high on the front of the garage and the remains of a paintball pellet in the driveway. :/ Joy.

I'm hoping the paint will wash off with a hose, although it's too cold outside to hook up a hose to any of the outside faucets. If not, I guess either hubby or I will be climbing up the ladder at some point with a scrub brush or a paintbrush. *sigh*

Now, I had several thoughts about this (after the immediate WTF?? reaction wore off).

1. The paint is pink. Pink. Isn't that a wussy color for paintball?? "Dude, you shot me with a pink pellet! You lose points for that."

2. Our garage is a medium silver-grey color. The pink at least sort of goes with the regular paintjob. Thank god it wasn't neon yellow or day-glo orange. *shudder*

3. What kind of a whacked out person runs around at five in the morning on a Sunday with a paintball gun?? Shooting at houses?? Dude -- get a life.

4. At least the whacked out person didn't shoot out a window. This is just annoying. Replacing a broken window is expensive.
