Angry Vandals!!!

I park at my girlfriends driveway over night and come back to see my cars been keyed from the front hood all the way to the trunk on the driver side panels. To make it worst, it wasn't even a once over. The ***** came back and ran it again. I didn't sleep with anyone's girlfriend! I didn't beat up a guys kid brother! What did I do to deserve this!? Jealous bastards!!! OK thanks for listening to my rant. I'll post pics up later.

so what do you guys do in a situation like this? Claim it as part of the insurance or a lot of elbow grease?

Ok i just got back from the body shop with an estimate. Its going to cost 1700 to fix it. I didn't get any pics of it but the guys over at the body shop are sending digital pics to the insurance adjuster. I'll ask him if he can email it to me too. Thanks for the sympathy guys. It actually makes me feel better. No one can understand my pain like you guys. It put a damper on my entire weekend and my friends couldn't understand why I was so upset over my car. I think I need new friends. haha.

Probably drives something like this:



******. He should have his citizenship revoked for failure to play well with others.

Sorry about your car. The repair estimate sounds reasonable.

Something about the 8 seems to bring out the worse in some people. I haven't been victim of vandalism (touch wood), but check out my thread about "bad attitude on the road". It's as if by driving an 8, you have personally insulted and put a curse on their mother's grave or somethin'

Sorry to hear that, I sympathize with you. I get so angry over stuff like this. Would the shock sensor help prevent this kind of damage? If so, I'm going to purchase it.

Thanks again guys for the sympathy. Im looking into getting a proximity alarm and shock sensor and also a new cover for the car. Can you tell I'm paranoid now? Look what they did to me! Oh and I was in San Jose, CA when this happened. Its a relatively nice neighborhood but there ARE a lot of bratty teens with their riced our civics and integras. I'm suspecting it was one of them. I know its a stereotype but I can't help it.

I am very sorry to hear about your bad ordeal. I hope who ever did that will get struck by lightning and if he survives that, get attacked by a swarm of killer bees. :p

There are a lot of jealous people in this world and I pray something like that won't happen to me.

Just out of curiosity... Do you think that the people working in body shops do these kind of things?...Nah, can't be.

I was thinking about that too. It does create business for them. I did not end up in a body shop anywhere near where it happened though as I live some ways away from my gf.

Since it seems to be a quaint place, is there a possibility of posting REWARD signs up? Not to give a reward, but see if any of the brats rat the other out?? At least scare the crap out of them, embarrass the person's family, or get a picture of him and let the Lounge at it and then post them all around the neighborhood!! ! :D :p

I would do any of the above if there was no chance of retaliation. How well do you like this chic? Will you ever be back to her place?? LOL

I think since your car is already scratched... why not park over there again? Set up a video camera inside the house and record it as it sits in the driveway. Better yet, if you can can, keep an eye on it as long as you can and have a bat in hand....Well, you get the rest of the idea. :p

haha. while all good ideas, I sincerely hope it was a one time lashing out of this pathetic individual. I just don't know why he hit my car and not the other 2 parked in front of me. I'm getting the car repainted today. I just couldn't stand the look of it. It broke my heart the entire weekend looking at it. I may as well have had a huge scar on my face. Ok now I sound overly obssessive of my car. I am ordering a car cover for the car and hopefully that will help. I can't think of any other way to deter them. I've been parking at the same spot for the last 4 years and this is the only time anything like this has happened to me. I pray it was a one-off incident. Can you imagine if I parked there again with my fresh paint and the bastard did it again? Holy hell there would be heads rolling.

I feel for ya. My 8 was keyed on the driver side back door. Nice & deep too. People nowadays are just jerks.

Glad to hear you are already getting it fixed.

Damn! This happened in San Jose!?! I live 30 minutes away, but I never take my 8 when visiting friends and family there. Although my reasons are mostly traffic related (crazy f'in drivers in San Jo), I am always apprehensive about driving my 8 there, so I take my 1991 Toyota Previa!

I would take alternate means of transportation if I had any but my 8 is my daily grinder.
