The_Condor Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 So on Monday I had parked my car on the street right in front of my house. Usually I keep it parked in the garage however my brothers car had broken down so we had it in my garage. Anywhoo, I leave it parked on the street for about an hour. When I come back I see that some asshole decided that it would be funny to key my car. They keyed the both passenger side doors, the passenger side window and my hood. On the doors they engraved "ha ha ha stupid". On the window they wrote a big letter "R" and on the hood they engraved a backwards R. Most of the car needs to be repainted now. I'm beyond the point of rage. They should pray that I never find them. I honestly don't know who would do this. I don't have any enemies and I didn't cut anyone off on my way home. It seems like a random act of vandalism from what I can tell. It sickens me that pieces of @#$#$ like this are entitled to breath the same air I do. They crossed the line. I would have been happier had they decided to jump me instead of fu@#$ up my car. Bruises can heal and at least I have the opportunity to defend myself. Never mess with a mans car. That's just an unspoken rule. It's complete blasphemy to do what they did. If I ever see anyone do this to someones car they can expect my fist in their face moments later. I think we should deport these assholes to Guantanamo and treat them as terrorists. Enemies of the state if you will.... --Rant off-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rao Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 That sucks sorry to hear it. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 That sucks but at least you'll get a new coat of paint out of it. Unfortunately it'll cost you the deductable money you shouldn't have had to pay in the first place. I too have been in this situation before with stolen cars / attempted thefts. Yes, you get a new set of wheels. No, you weren't budgeting towards a new set of wheels the whole time and it's a huge out-of-pocket expense. Sorry to hear.

NYCBRED Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 That sucks but at least you'll get a new coat of paint out of it. that sounds great on paper and I would agree but have you ever had a car with paint work before? The problem will come into play when he goes to try to sell the car down the road. Paint work ALWAYS shows up, which immediately devalues the car incredibly....Overspray is forever present and good appraisers will see it instantly.... Honestly, I am not sure what you can do.........I wouldnt want the car back after it was repainted due to what I stated above...Honestly, I know it's not the most honest thing, but after I saw my car all keyed up, I would've whipped out my trusty blade and began to cut my seats up and slash my tires....then I would call the insurance co and tell them my car was vandalized bad, and I want it scrapped.... if the damage value is worth at least 60-70% of the total value of the car, they have to total it and pay you the value of the car....but if you owe money on the car, then this method might not prove viable for you either way, best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shediesforhim Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Some what of the same thing happened to me. I was at my friends house and usually I park in the driveway, but his brother was home so there wasn't much room. I went over around 11pm. I walked outside at 1am, to head back home..and my rear windshield was totally smashed in. That was a fun time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 That sucks...sorry man. Lance: Still got your Malibu? Vincent: Aw, man. You know what some fu**er did the other day? Lance: What? Vincent: Fu**ing keyed it. Lance: Oh, man, that's fu**ed up. Vincent: Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of **it fu**ed with it. Lance: They should be fu**ing killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution. Vincent: Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that asshole doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it. Lance: What a fu**! Vincent: What's more chickenshit than fu**ing with a man's automobile? I mean, don't fu** with another man's vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCBRED Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I had a guy who was jealous of my rides at the time who came over one night and threw a brick through each windshield on each of my cars....my neighbor said a blue honda with a loud exhaust did it and drove away... I knew who he was so the next time I saw him I copied down his plate.....I called in some favors and ended up getting his address from the plate #.... I went to his house, confronted him and told him what the deal was.....He denied it was him....I told him that the next time he drives past my house I would open fire on his car at point blank range... Needless to say, he never drove past my house or messed with my cars again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say, he never drove past my house or messed with my cars again Actually if you confronted him, you could of said you caught him on video since you did know his address and knew who he was. His denial would make him guilty and he wouldn't even know it. But in topic, it is almost a rule of the land for anyone to not mess with a guy's car. Sorry to hear about the misfortune, and good luck with the repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diablo Mazda Subaru hit the front of the embankment when parking the car. They are the worst car dealership on the face of the earth as far as I'm concerned. I'm pretty sure god hates my car.

Bdubs Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I feel for you. I don't know what possess people to do really moronic things. I don't care if I see someone doing that to a car that isn't mine, I'd lay them out right there. No respect. Someone had put something into my gas tank before, sand or some other substance which inevitably prevented the car from being started. Had to be towed to the garage, and the whole fuel system had to be cleaned. It was a nightmare, and it cost me over $900 to get everything back in order. Right after that instance I got a locking gascap...and thankfully this car has the release inside of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true, make sure you find a good shop to minimize overspay. Not that I am condoning this, but some people say it is better to have all the panels repainted if and when you get keyed, so some people go ahead and make sure they key all the panels so that they could get a full paint job.

Good point although I would never trade the car in. I sell all my used cars via private party. Either way, this will probably show up on a carfax report which means I'll have to explain this to some potential buyer sometime down the road. Hopefully it doesn't turn too many people away.

NewLegGT67 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Sorry to hear that some *uckhead(s) messed with your car. Were there any other cars on your street vandelized? All of the keying would make you think it was personal. Once I got my car fixed I would be sitting at my window with the lights out holding an aluminum bat instead of getting a good nights sleep. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoSpringsSpecB Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I feel for you man...

The_Condor Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Oh I literally check my car for new dings every single day. I always park at one of the end spots in my company parking garage.

elxkid Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Condolences. Happened to my last car, an m3. Some asshole keyed every single panel on my car. People who perpetrate this are the most cowardly, evil mini-hitlers and if caught should forced to be registered like sex offenders so we can shun them forever. ...sporting the hottest Legacy on the westside of my block:icon_bigg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iyalla Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 That sucks man! Sorry to here that, hope you get it fixed. We really have an increase in this kind of narcissistic behavior and its only going to get worse even in really nice neighborhoods. We had a bunch of kids in the town over from us grabbing pumpkins off front lawns and throwing then into the back window of cars. Just crazy!

Scotty Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I have no problems keying someone if they keyed my car. It's only fair that if they key my car, I should get to key their face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
