NEVER TP'ed anything. BUT I grew up in SoDak, one of the things we did, was hoist an outhouse, up on top of a garage. Imagine coming out in the morning, and finding a chitty hole, in da ground where your 'throne' used to was ????
The cops??? Closest one, was 11 miles, away. IF you saw one, it was cause there was an accident, somewhere. NOT some kids goofin' off. THAT was for Mom and Dad. And trust me, THEY knew.
IF you got a 'new' (different) car or pick up, before the weekend, EVERYONE knew, what you were driving.
The Ol' Man, come and pick us up ???? His advise to my brother and I, when we started driving ???
"IF you get in trouble, and they give you that ONE phone call, don't WASTE it, calling me."
Would he have left us sit??? ELEPHINO, we believed he would, and made DAMMT sure, we DIDN'T GET CAUGHT !!!!!
HE should talk. He, and Franny and Ralph Kappenman, (his riding buddies in the 30's) hoisted a neighbors milk cow, up into the hay loft of the guys barn. AT LEAST the outhouse, didn't try to 'run away' from US !!!!!
Course, EVERYONE knew who did those "dirty deeds", cause you were so DAMMT proud, you hadta tell, EVERYONE !!!!
Had we 'damaged' N E 1's property, period, the Ol' Man would have 'disposed' of us, NO ? 'akst' !!!!! LEOs didn't stand a ghost's chance in H*LL, of competing with him.
