Deseret, Cactus, & Texas: Broken Window Theory

The broken window theory is that if you leave property objects broken, dirty, or un repaired, others will not respect that property and will be more likely to disrespect the area and cause further vandalism.

We were returning from Disneyland on I10 east of Quarzite when a Hyundai came zipping past us on the right at 90 mph. We were going the speed limit in the left lane. The right lane was awful - needed repair. As the car came along side of us we heard a loud bang on our rear passenger-side window. The window was shattered but remained in place and it looked like their was a hole in it.

We took down the license plate number and looked for Highway Patrol. We saw three patrol cars pulled over on the side of the road so we pulled over to talk to them. They were in the process of arresting a man in a truck that ran barricade. They sent one patrolman to deal with me. we examined the window nd determined it was a rock that was flung up at the side of the car. Luckily, our insurance covered the repair completely. It is now as good as new, including the tinting.

Here are more Disney photos. Even more can be found at my smugmug site.
