So ****ed off.. Left my FG XR8 in a car park for an hr or so.. Come back out to find KFC leftovers and boxes dumped next to my car, realising some idiot has obviously been sniffing around my car I went right over it and low and behold some low life dole scum has used what most likely was a rock and scratched nice deep swirls into the boot lid... I keep my car in immaculate condition and always park next to nice new cars or away from everyone else to avoid getting it marked.. Nothing ****** me off more than someone whom my tax dollars are no doubt paying their centrelink benifits decides to vandalise my pride and joy.. If only I had caught this idiot in the act, I would have keyd his face.. So much scum in the world today.. Has anyone else on here had their pride and joy vandalised?

Mate I couldnt imagine how ****ed you'd be coming back to see that. There's almost no point having a nice cool clean car anymore because if it isn't for doors being banged open into them its vandalism.
My car was at parked at school on the last day of yr 12 ( I was in yr 11) and all the cars parked out the front got egged. It took away paint in about 4 different places. Was not happy one bit. Never found out who it was.

Was not happy. Really cant understand why someone would do such a thing to be honest. Glad I didnt catch them in the act though. After it was repaired it got rear ended by a pimply faced texting teen......

Ugh I hate ****ers like that, you did the right thing by patking near nicer cars, parking in view of CCTV can also help for things like that, but the best method to prevent shopping centre mishaps is to have a run around car, I just use my beat up au sedan for the shops,
I feel for you mate, can't comprehend why someone would mess up your car |

Good reason for having another cheap junk car to drive to places where you need to park your car. I've only got a Focus but I get ultra paranoid about my driving lights when I park in car parks, I don't care about the paint BUT NOT THE DRIVING LIGHTS!
Cost me over $500 for them beauties. |

yeap the GT WHEN IT WAS 2 WEEKS OLD , a disgruntled apprentice at my wifes work had a barny with the boss and decided he'd key all the staff cars , as they had no proof other than a suspicion and accusation from another apprentice there , the company did not cover the repairs , it was the rear quarter panel , the spray painters actually cut the paint back minimising the appearence of the scratch and gave us the option to leave it as is , or risk paint missmatch , we left it as is . it brought tears to our eyes when this happened .

We had a 1 week old Bitsamissing and some sleaze bag deliberately ran a supermarket trolley down the side.
Scratched 2 doors and front guard. Shopping centre got it on camera but not good enough for a prosecution. |

Havent had it happen to me but have had people lean on my car and even open doors into them when I have been in the car. They just look at you and bail as quick as they can. Really annoys the hell out of me.
Not a scratch but a mate of mines dad went too far one day. Came back to find a very nice black chrylser 300C with big rims parked a little close to his beat up old subaru leone wagon so decided to boot the 300c door while wearing steel caps. I wasnt there but my little brother was.

edit>... deleted the other one.... keying cars, not breaking into them....
 The old AU Wagon had the fresh front end (just after the first accident) keyed right over the bonnet and front guards.... Thankfully the ********* had something very blunt, because it blended in (just) after a decent polish job...

No, but people do it because they're walking rectums.
If the same thing was done to their car (which has a good chance of being 20+ years of age and in terrible condition), they'd be bleating and sooking like there's no tomorrow and wondering the same thing...

I had a friend have this happen to him last weekend. They keyed/scratched his car with I don't know what, but the paint was cut down to the metal. Such a beautiful car! I can't understand why anyone does this. What fun can it really bring people? Jealousy in action perhaps?

[QUOTE=BradXR8] some low life dole scum QUOTE]
How do you know it was some low life dole scum? Could have been some jealous rich mongrel that doesn't care about other peoples property. Personally I had not long had a car freshly painted, with my own mix and match paint combo. Only drove the car to work, thinking yeah, it'll be good there....won't get damaged. Low and behold. The bosses bloody son decided to open the work utes door up on my car. Result, one nice dint and paint removal. To makes things worst, the bloody boss and his lowlife son refused to admit that it happened. Peeved me off even more. Then you've got all these snobby mongrels, that open their doors up on your car and don't give a rats, even when fronted. Some people just don't know how to respect others property, no matter how ratty it is.

This is one of those acts that are just beyond me. Id be so scared to catch the person because I know Id be locked up for it. Its an ugly reality but I know instinct would take over and Id want blood.
A few yrs back, when I bought my new VY SS. My and my Ex (Mrs at the time) went out to celebrate. The same day I picked it up, not even 24 hours of ownership and some dog keyed the drivers side front right guard right through pastthe fuel cap to rear quarter. I remember running over to my car and seeing the cops lingering around it thinking maybe I was illigally parked, the cops told me I was parked fine and to have a look at my car and pointed. I was shattered to the point of almoat being in tears. The newest car I ever owned and some animal done that. Took me weeks to get over it. That being said Im sorry about your car mate. Think positive. Respray and it will be good as new.

In the last two days I've gotten two decent scratches on my xr6 from people opening their doors! What goes through their minds?! I really want to teach them a lesson!

When my BA was about 2 years old some piece of scum carved a scratch about 50cm across on the bonnet. Can never understand the mentality of some people.

Yes agree with all above - one of the lowest & most gutless acts that can be done to someones pride & joy. Obviously they have no pride or joy in their pathetic exsitance - so why should anyone else - AH's....
Reminds me of that movie line in pulp fiction when travolta's chevy malibu gets keyed - "you don't **** with another man's automobile - you just don't do it".... |

I had my Cortina Ghia 6 keyed about 3 weeks after I bought it in '96. It had new gold 2-pack paint too.
They keyed from the front driver's side corner of the bonnet diagonally accross the bonnet to the passenger side gaurd at the windscreen. And right down the passenger side from the front indicator to the rear indicator. The scratches were deep too. Right through the clear, base colour, undercoats and in places into the metal. The whole car needed to be resprayed  so I changed the colour to yellow with a pearl in the clear while I was at it. Was not happy to say the least.Culprits were some year 12 locals (in school uniform) that were a bit upset that the old Tina blew their bogan style commodore away down the highway on the way into town to do the grocery shopping. It was dark when I chased them away from the car after doing the shopping. Didn't notice the damage until the next morning when I went to leave for work. They didn't have CCTV of the carparks then.

I'm pretty careful where I park the G6E out here at the Woolies carpark in Blackwater after a few incidents that happened to mates at work. One guy had a new Colorado ute, a week old, and as he was getting out of it some numptie in a new XR8 beside him opened the door against it...hard. He had a go at him and the guy said "What are you worried about, it's a lease car anyway isn't it?"...which, though my friends Colorado wasn't, is beside the point. Just because it's leased and the company takes care of the bills, doesn't mea you shouldn't care less about the condition it's in.
Then again, I've never seen more dirty, trolley-dented, kerbed-rimmed XR6's, FPV's, and HSV's than I ever have before out here... |
