I took the car to a premium car wash center today to have it cleaned in preparation for 3M film protection for the front end. When I got home I took the usual number of pictures.
Later in the afternoon my car alarm was going off and so was the neighbours. Some little terd keyed the right rear bumper in two places about 2-3 inches long and also left two marks on the tail fin. Looks like the active anti theft sytem was a good purchase after all.
I got the scratches out / covered with NuCar finish. What I'd give to get my hands on the creep and ring his jealous neck.
:angry:

Sorry to hear about your car some people can't stand to see other people have something nice. Its jealousy, pure and simple.
Solution: act crazy/wierd enough that all your neighbors think your nuts. :crazy: This way all the neighborhood kids/ neighbors keep their distance. i.e. stare at every car that goes by suspiciously, talk to yourself while mowing the lawn, etc. It works for me, the kids don't come anywhere near by property.

Sorry to hear about your pony getting keyed. If you eventually find the kid that did it, I would approach his/her parents, provided they are not drug users or alcoholics, and get the kid to tell them what he did. They may even make it worth your while.

I've just gone through the same problem, but with the maintenance people in my complex. Some kids don't understand that they can still be arrested even if they're not 18. We had the kid down the street placed under arrest on multiple charges when he put a firecracker under my dad's old Taurus. I've never seen him since. He went away to reform school, flunked out or something and hasn't ever returned!

I've got a neighbor I don't trust. I make it a deliberate attempt to carry a rifle out to my trunk, along with a couple of targets, earmuffs, etc, when he's out... just making it look like I'm going to the range. No one's messed with my car yet!

I'm designing a way to hook up a second car battery to the car...so when armed....it will shock anyone who touches it.
ie....little kids, neighbors cat.
I just need to figure out a way to isolate all the delicate electronics in the car...
hmmm

I'm reminded of Vincent Vega's quote from Pulp Fiction:
"Man I wish I could of caught him doin' it. It'd be worth him doin' it, just so i could catch him"
Sorry to hear about this, glad it seems that you got the scratches out.

....what he said!
it is sad that you can't have something nice without having to worry about A-holes who are jealous and just want to destroy something that they cannot have. Some people just stink! PIGS...people who do sh!& like that are just pigs.....sorry about the damage to your car.

That stinks man, so sorry. The one thing that seems to keep working well and strong in our country is the MORON MACHINE. It seems each day, more and more morons are out and about. It's this kind of stuff that actually makes me nervous to take the car anywhere where it's going to sit alone for any length of time. I feel as if I will continue that behavior just because you just can't trust people to leave your stuff alone.
I'm people, and I like.

I have had similar problems .. it really stinks..
Luckily I live in a house and have a 2 car garage..
But when I park at stores or even at work... people lookie loo... and usually cause scratches leaning up on the car peering in etc....
2 days ago some woman walked by the car as I sat in a restaurant (and I watched the whole affair
) as she ran her hand across the length of my spoiler .. when I went to go home I discovered she had left a scratch with a piece of jewelry the entire length of it.. Fortunately it came out with buffing...
People just wont keep their hands off our cars...
