What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
Last night my car was vandalized in front of my house. At first, I thought I was the object of a Halloween prank because my car was covered with egg and toilet paper. Upon closer examination, I discovered that obscenities had been etched in the paint of my car, all over my car. I contacted the police, who said that it was not only vandalism, but also a hate crime which is punishable under federal law. I suspect our neighbor's son knows who committed the crime. He has been attracting undesirable, troubled teens to this otherwise rural, pleasant farming community. Is there anything I can do? (i.e. offer a reward or higher a private investigator, retain a lawyer) I am a hardworking, quiet individual that has done nothing to warrant this. Also, do you know which federal law addresses this type of crime, and the penalty/punishment. Thanks for your input.
