Kelly Ohm keeps a sign next to her front door that reads "Smile, You're On Camera." Unfortunately, the vandals who decided to egg her car didn't see it.
Egging may seem like a funny prank, but it's going to cost Kelly $500 to $700 to get a new paint job.
“I want people to know what their children are doing at one in the morning. I would want to know what my children are doing,” the mom said.
Like young mom Semantha Bunce, Kelly took matters into her own hands. She posted the security footage on the City of Rowlett's Facebook page and offered $200 for any leads. Within 11 minutes, the vandal was identified.
How was the teenager nabbed? The young man was wearing the same "ugly Christmas sweater" all week long. Everyone knew who the kid was.
Kelly then discovered he was with two teenage girls in the truck. She then went to each of their homes and let their parents know exactly what they were doing at 1:30 a.m.
“It costs a lot to fix these things and I think they need to know it; they need to feel it and they need to work for it,” Kelly says. “I don’t want the parents to pay it. I want the kids to pay it.”
The teens have agreed to split the bill so Kelly has agreed to drop charges. No one deserves to go to jail over egging a car, but a little discipline certainly never hurt.
