Was it really Linda who wrote "pr#ck" on Mike's car?


Or did she have someone else do it for her? I've always wondered about that.

I always thought she did it.

Presumably Mike's car was vandalized while it parked outside his apartment because he didn't seem to discover the vandalism until he was about to leave for school that morning. Now did Linda even know where Mike lived? I don't think Stacy knew where Mike lived because she seemed to believe his bogus story that he was helping his father in the garage when Mike really lived in an apartment complex that didn't have a garage. When Stacy told Linda over the phone about Mike's bogus story Linda didn't seem to refute the story. You would think that Linda would have mentioned that Mike was lying if she would have known about it. I think the question of whether or not Linda committed the vandalism depends on whether or not she knew where Mike lived. Based on Linda's post-abortion phone conversation with Stacy I don't think she would have known about Mike's place of residence at that exact point. I'm wondering if Linda might have found out about Mike's apartment by either asking other people where he lived, or by secretly following him home from school one day.

It indeed was linda, who else would care enough to do that, she was getting revenge for stacy, her friend, she made that quite forward in the phone conversation. Now, how she found out we he lived is anybody's quess, but she found out somehow. No one else had a beef with damone or even knew about what had happened until it came out.. nor would anyone else care..... It was really obvious who it was..maybe she had some help finding his place. I'am sure she did the locker her self though..

No one said anyone else had a beef with Damone, but Linda could have had someone else do it. Though, in the film, it's simply implied that Linda herself did it.

I actually took that to mean that Mike's father worked at a garage and that Mike was helping him.

Rat c/d've did it just before the locker room fight. But isn't it funny how ppl who go to school w/ 1 another, even from K-12, usually don't know where most of each other live! Even when I rode a bus 2 school, I only had a vague idea where most of the other kids were walking home to.

There is literally not one single reason to suspect it was anyone other than Linda.
