It wouldn't be considered criminal damage as that would be something that happened during the commission of a crime. It would be a civil matter pertaining to damages to private property. The issue is one which would come under the jurisdiction of city or county ordinances. You should be able to obtain the information by contacting the clerk of the city or county municipal court.

Can you paint a neighbor's wall on your side?

Perhaps you have mixed up your words in your question. It makes sense if read as, "If you painted your side of your neighbor's wood fence can the neighbor make you replace it with a new wood fence?" If that is the case, you had no right to paint your neighbor's fence without their permission and the answer to your question is they can sue you in court for damaging their property.If they sue you in court and prevail, they have the right to be restored to the position they were in before you damaged their property. If the fence is new the court may award enough damages to cover a new fence. If the fence is older, the court may pro-rate the value. While your neighbor cannot make you replace the fence, the court can and you may have the added burden of legal expenses. You should try to negotiate a friendly agreement to resolve the issue either by repainting the fence to please your neighbor or perhaps offering to share the cost of a new fence.As a lifetime lesson, it is more prudent to let the neighbor know your intentions, even if it is your side of the fence, or if you think you are doing them a favor.

How do you change the driver's side mirror bulb in a 2001 F150?

You replace them by first putting the mirror in the down position. Now look between the mirror and you will see two tabs(the same color as your truck) take a screw driver and lift them up. This will remove the painted part of the mirror. Replace the bulb and replace the painted part of the mirror and you're done. Bulb type: #906/921
