roof spoiler stolen a few months ago. this morning my front bumper is keyed.

i can't wait to move out of this shitty apartment complex and buy a house.

guess it's time to keep the car cover on at ALL times. fucking low lifes with nothing better to do than vandalize my car.

 

dam bro its a shame smh...hope every thing works out soon...before u hurt someone cant have nothing nice.wtf!!!!

 

ugh thats f****'ed up. People got nothing to do, those low lifes. SMH, hope you get that taken care of soon.

 

Sorry to see that, Sharky. Mine was vandalized 3 separate times in my old neighborhood so I know the feeling. Hopefully everything gets sorted out accordingly.

 

Thats a very odd location to key a car....

 

Agreed, weird spot to key it, but damn, that really sucks. I can't stand people who do that shit.

 

That sucks. My previous car was one of my motivating factors when I bought my house. I got tired if it getting broken into, bumped, or dinged. I think the last time something happened to it, it was less than 60 days later that I had bought my house.

 

damn bro i feel for you.... my wifes g35 was keyed at my dads house not too long ago... thankfully it didnt total the car. there were 2 distinct lines that went all the way from the front driver fender all the way down the side, onto the trunk and then starting back around the passenger side.. i wish i could have beat the living shit out of them and still do.

 

sorry to hear that. for the time being, maybe you can look into some shock sensors?

Sorry to hear. Totally know the feeling.

 

Sorry buddy-I wish there was something we could do to help catch them....

 

Mount .50 cal on roof. If anybody steps within 5 feet of it they're shot in the leg.

Sorry to see this happen to my F14 buddy

 

No garage? I hate parking on these streets.

 

hey, any chance you can leave the car at work? since work is so close to you anyway?

 

false alarm everyone. after a second look, it seems that someone backed into my front bumper. spiderweb cracks all over it and a few more areas where paint is missing. i just couldn't see it because of the rain this morning.

amazing how someone was able to back into me. it's near impossible where i park my car. strange indeed.

at least i know i'm not being targeted.

 

as I said earlier, very odd place to key.

 

There's a reason I own a gun, :-D.

 

+1 on being an odd place to get keyed. Back when my car was keyed they did every panel but the bumpers.

 

Sorry to see Aaron. Whether it was someone keying your car or backing into it, it's still f'ed up to see. Hope you're able to get it fixed.

 

If i were to key someone's car, I would raise it on a jackstand, go underneath, unscrew the oil pan, and key the transmission. Then put everything back to where it belonged.

best part, the guy may NEVER find out

 

 

sorry to see this. hit and run again. time to go hunt down the stupid neighbor that can't drive.

 

stupid people can't drive.

 

"this picture was taken with a potato"

 

Sorry Shark that Facking blows. I would be riding around checking out everyone's roof spoiler.

 

Car covers just attract douche bags.

 

Sell your car and buy a home already. cars depreciate; houses appreciate.

 

Damn thats fucking annoying.

I would be PISSED if I were you. I was going to say its weird for someone to key it there, and such a small amount of "keying." I would assume if anyone was pissed enough to key it they'd do more damage than that.

I was going to suggest that you look around and see if there was any other damage but I see you already came to the same conclusion lol (reading<me this time lol).

Whats your insurance coverage? Looks like 350-500 of to repaint/recondition. IF your deductible is less than that then report it. Most shops would do 250$ for a repaint; thats what I pay.

Sucks man. GL with it bro

 

not to thread jack but i know how it feels, happened to me two weeks ago.







i'm getting the whole thing repainted, its in the shop right now.

 

^someone was pissed at you.

 

^^ yea no kidding...

 

as a person who owns a home that is not an accurate statement.. it is probably just the past few years.. but it aint the safe buy as it use to be

 

you were correct!

why is that? so that you can shoot the person that accidentally backs into your car in a parking lot?

did your insurance cover it?

thanks, chip. i'll get it taken care of soon for sure.

jeenyus idea! the perfect crime!

that's the whole thing. like i said earlier, where i park there is a good 30 foot gap before i see any other cars. i just can't logically forsee how this even happened. driving me nuts!

this.

heh. yeah. need a new phone.

spoiler was months ago, and a true theft. i did replace it tho!

well in the time i've lived at this complex, my roof spoiler was stolen and someone backed into me when i had the cover off. when i had it on religously everyday, nothing ever happened to it. i'm thinking that since my car is NBP and lighting is poor in that area, someone just didn't see my car and nudged it as they were leaving the parking lot. who knows.

awesome advice. i'll get right on that.

thanks man. yeah i got a paint guy that will do the front bumper for $250. he repainted my rear bumper for the same price when someone backed into it last year.

did your insurance cover everything? brand new paintjob? deductible? premiums raise?

that sucks for sure.

 

Camera is the best witness.



Neighbor vandalized his car.

Jude seen on tape vandalizing car

 

embed much?

 

My insurance gave me a check for $4750 to paint the entire car minus the roof, and both bumpers. Of course this is without my $250 deductible for vandalism. I had a great body shop repaint the entire car for me and we came to a price of $6000. This included taking the entire car apart, painting, reassembling, and wet sanding everything. I didnt notice my insurance go up due it be vandalism. Honestly I wouldnt fix it until you left that area, you never know if they'll come back. Good luck with everything.

 

^thanks man. so you had to pay out of pocket anyway it seems? little over $1k?

 

doesn't matter how much space you think is available to be "safe"...inevitably some asshat who can't drive hits you. had it happen...suffice it to say i was pissed. hence i have become super paranoid about parking anywhere near other people, in the street...even in my own driveway with the stupid tree still looking down at me (can't wait for the day that thing gets cut down). our society has gone to hell in terms of respecting other people's property let alone each other. as much as it is an eye sore...wait to move and then get her fixed. or put bubble wrap around her.

 

Makes me so sick to see. I wish there were vigilante gangs that would hunt these people down and terminate them. My apartment is $375 a month, so kind of higher class crowds than the cheap ghetto apartments... so fortunately haven't seen anything like this IRL before

 

^my utilities are $375 a month.
