Toilet Papering Prank Turned Into A Baseball Bat Smashing A Car In Illinois
We are now in October. That means Halloween is just around the corner. It is also the time of the year when teenagers get into prank mode. When I was a teen, my friends and I did it. Kids today still like to pull off jokes, too.
Most of the time, these teen pranks are pretty much harmless. They can be a pain and more work for the homeowner or the victim of the joke. For example, having to clean up a big mess from toilet papering or egging a house.
A man in the Joliet area didn’t take too kindly to a bunch of teens tp’ing his house. He followed the pranksters until they got home. Then, the suspect started smashing their vehicle with a baseball bat and doing serious damage to it. The kids called the cops, and the guy was arrested. Hopefully, they both learned a lesson.
