So I come home today and I'm taking my time getting out of my car (I've sprained my knee and I'm in an immobilizer and on crutches). I start to walk towards the house, I saw a golf cart coming so I called Ziggy, but he ignored me and continue to stand in the driveway (about three feet from the road). The golf cart, which was driving in the middle of the road, swerves, then makes a bee-line for the driveway and towards Ziggy. I yelled" You better watch it" when they were about (six feet from the dog,) to let the two seventeen- eighteen year-old girls know that I'm standing 20 feet away form the dog. They ignored me and sped off laughing. Well this scares Ziggy so he runs to me and I prop up on one crutch and carry him to the house. After he's secure I go back out the the car on a mission to talk to those girls.

I found the girls.

I asked "Are you the girls that came up on the dog in the yard?"
Blondie's answer "Yes"
Me: What were you going to do to the dog?
Blondie: Pet him
(I realize she wasn't going to answer me flat out, "I was goign to runover him")
Me: You were going to pet someone else's dog, in their yard?
Blondie:Yeah
Me: I was standing 20 feet from the dog, if you wanted to pet him you could have asked me I would have brought him to you
Blondie: (Silence, she turns and is ignoring me)
Me:

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING! IF I EVER CATCH YOU RUNNING UP IN THE YARD TRYING TO RUNOVER OR SCARE MY DOG, THE PLOICE WILL BE CALLED AND I WILL PRESS CHARGES.
(at this point she's on her phone trying to call someone- still ignoring me.)
Me: Do you understand?
DO YOU UNDERSTAND? I better not catch you ever doing that again.

Then I drove home. I did call the police to make sure there was a record of someone trying to runover my dog, in case she ever tries to do it again. Then went and turned on the porch light, expected mad parents or the girls to come back to the house, (and I would have dealt with whoever decided to come). And I sat down and waited.

Its been two hours now and I don't think anyone is going to come.

Was I wrong to do that? I don't usually call people out, but what happens if she tries to do that to our outside cat when we're not home. I shouldn't have yelled, but she had and attitude and she was ignoring me.

Was I in the wrong? Should I have let her go without letting her know someone saw her and will fight for her pets?
