Petty vandalism or precursor to more?

Nope.

Do you/did you have Bush/Cheney stickers on your vehicle?

Yep. But it is obvious that whoever is doing that has something against me, and I doubt it is the Bush sticker. I have no idea what it could be though; I have no enemies that I am aware of, in fact, I'm extremely busy as of late and am not even around anyone other than my family and fiancee.

I'm no techie, but I'll bet it wouldn't cost much to hook up a cheap security cam to a vcr or your computer, to record your front yard and driveway at least during nighttime hours. If it were me, I'd be curious enough to spend the couple hundred bucks it might cost. Somebody here probably knows exactly how.

How about a "Texas mailbox"?

A photo of the vandalized area will be proof that a problem exists.

Last year before we moved to this area we were in our home on a Saturday evening. At 1030 PM the door bell rang. I armed myself with my M1911 and went to the door. A man and a woman from a few doors down the street asked if we had any idea about the ownership of a bike laying on the side yard. I took my digital camera and went out to see it. The guy's brother had just had his car stolen from the drivway and they thought the hurriedly abandoned bike might have been somehow involved. I told them I would call in the abandoned bike and proceded to take some photos of the bike and the Califonia bike tag on the hub.

When I went back inside I called the police and reported te bike, downloaded the photos on the PC and waited for the police. The lady officer assigned to meet me about the bike came over about 30 minutes later. we went out to check the bike and it was gone! The tracks weere still on the daap grass. I told her that someone must have quietly snagged it and taken off. I told her I had photos of it and offered to make some prints. I gave her the photo of the bike and a close up of the wheel and hub with ID numbers on it. She took the photos and said she would be checking on the records and where the bike was registered.

Photos are good in case an insurance claim is needed also. At bare minimum keep one of those cardboard cameras in your car for emergencies.
