The states attorney for Maryland in Baltimore lost her re-election bid because she refused to prosecute kids running a racket on the busiest streets.

A guy did exactly what you said, and they snapped his wipers off his truck. He parked highly upset, and stepped out with a bat to confront the kids. One of them pulled out a handgun and shot the dude down right in rush hour traffic.

She lost her job, and the city started enforcing a no squeege ban.

I can’t imagine being willing to die for my windshield wipers. Go home, call your insurance company, and avoid that area in the future.
