Default Lump on my roof

So my wife took 3 of my daughters to Manhattan for the weekend. They took my daughters car because she did not want to put the miles on her car. My daughter parks in the garage next to my ...2009 Carrera 4 Cabriolet in black with 5800 miles (sorry, still in shock it's mine so I keep saying it)...and before they left they took all the junk out of my daughter's car - napkins, water bottles, trash, sunglasses cases, etc. and put it on the roof of my car. I got home from work and opened the garage and saw it and was shocked.

So my question is, is it unreasonable if I demand they come home and clean it now (it's a 7 hour drive each way) or whether I clean it and hold it against them forever?

They unloaded all the trash and crap from my daughters car before they left and instead of walking down the steps and putting it where it needs to go they put it on top of my 911

So, they pranked you?

You prank them back, but photoshopping some damage to the roof and forwarding some body shop repair bill for like 5 grand.

That seems perfectly reasonable.

So it's perfectly fine, but they put their stuff on top? Is something broken?

I would...take the stuff off. Then just politely ask them not to do that. Then I would continue living my life.

I would demand that they drive home the seven hours so that you can show them their mistake. It's only a seven hour drive and they should be punished.

Divorce your wife and disown your children.

Then file a civil action naming them as defendants for trespass to property and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

That'll teach 'em.

I would ban them from the garage. Make them stay out until they can learn how to act like responsible citizens. Did they drive all the way at 55 mph in the fast lane too?

No damage. You are a better man than I.

I like the other suggestions. And yes, my wife does drive the speed limit in the left lane.

Scratch that - she used to drive the speed limit in the left lane, until she got a Porsche. Now she can't believe that people in the left lane don't know it is for passing.

I had to laugh...this pic is on the way home from work, when I looked up in the mirror and my wife comes fling up behind me through some curves...of course I caught traffic. The Porsche will make anyone drive faster I believe.

I have 3 daughters as well. There are some things that women will never understand about men and their cars.

drive around the adjacent neighborhoods and find a
real estate yard sign,...preferably one that says SOLD

plant in yard, dim all the lights and watch the fun from a neighbors home
