Old Enough to Know Better

In high school, we spent many a night (and allowance) on toilet paper usage. And I don't mean in the bathroom. We had a friendly competition among the youth group as to who could perfect the white lawn application of their peers' front yard and trees. The night after we got back from our family vacation to Europe one summer, the youth (lead by our fearless youth group leader) blanketed our yard and trees with somewhere around 250 rolls of toilet paper.

We all participated in the rolling (but not necessarily the clean up). I think we got one family about three times in one week, others were just too far of a drive to paper regularly.

It was a lot of fun. No one ever got hurt or caught in the act. We weren't being hateful to one another, and we weren't doing anything that would cause permanent damage.

This couple, however, can not make the same claim.

Phillip Fleck and Heather Darcy damaged the property of over 400 of their neighbors. What did they do, you might ask. They went on an 18-month egging spree, throwing eggs at peoples homes, vehicles, and property. Apparently they wanted to get revenge on some of their so-called friends and then egged other people to "throw off suspicion."

One neighbor had his home and driveway pelted several times. He had to go get a pressure washer to clean off all of the eggs from his driveway and take his cars to get washed and waxed.

I couldn't find a single article that stated how old these two are, but as you can tell from the photo, they're definitely old enough to know better!
