At the time this was taken, I was snoozing in the van with the doors open. I'm glad they didn't walk up to it! That kind of publicity would not be welcome.</p><p style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p style="margin: 0px;">The van and Dad's car (in the front) did not get damaged but the brats cut the right front tire on the Impala.... $105.... grrrr.... Thankfully the vandals didn't slash the expensive van tires!</p><p style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p style="margin: 0px;">So does the solar panel look fairly incognito? You can see that the back windows are blacked out. There is an external weather radio antenna on the top left back window. Overall, I think the van looks pretty nondescript. I doubt most would give it a second thought while watching this brief little clip.</p><p style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p style="margin: 0px;">Out of 40 or so cars that got vandalized, what are the odds the news folks would pick this portion of our block to make a video? </p><p style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
