Scumbags :(

[artyman]

The guy round the corner from me has some nice AMG wheels on his new C Coupe, perhaps I should pop round one night and do a swap

 

[Tebs]

Sorry to hear that mate. I know exactly how you feel. I just had mine keyed last Tuesday for the second time in the 8 months Ive owned the car.

First time was in Brighton in an NCP car park. Six week after I bought the car. Total of 8 panels keyed. £2.5K insurance job. Then last Tuesday night had the rear bootlid and rear drivers side panel done in a secure underground car park in Cyrstal Palace. What makes it worse is that I gotta pay for it myself this time and I lost my job last month too. These s**ts should have their fingers cut off then shoved somewhere where the sun dont shine!

 

[martyz]

I feel for you,try a smart repair service will be a lot cheaper than a body shop.good luck.

 

[Charles Morgan]

Horrible when it happens, my sympathies. My Range Rover got heavily keyed the day I was due to get it valued for px on my Boxster S. Talk about bad timing.

Meanwhile some little scrote or scrotes have nicked all the tyre caps on my estate. Why?!

 

[Dryce]

you would think if they had the same car he would have left it alone.

Nah. Quite the opposite.

Back when I was young and started off driving 250cc motorcycles if your bike got messed with and parts taken then chances it was somebody looking to get parts for their own - either to fix or improve.

I had the same done on my 6-month old Peugeot Cabriolet about 15 years ago. Not in a dodgy mult-story carpark or a city-centre roadside, but a quiet Hampshire village in a restaurant's private carpark.

The worst part though was that I was always aware of the repair work and the car never felt so good after that. I rapidly lost interest and sold it on at a massive loss.

Sorry to hear about this mate. I hate when this happens i mean ive seen some nice cars ect but ive never had urge to damage it because i can't have one. Happend to my 106 alot recantly (106 i know but its my work wagon and i love it haha). Ive got so many car park dings i think people pull door handle then boot it open. And one person evan tryed to write what i presume was W*nk because there was W then i think they gave up because i machine polish and wax f out all my cars and its quite hard to scratch a car when its got few coats on it they actualy bent the metal of the panal trying to write W it polished out tho =].

The other thing i dont get is you park like 5 miles from a shop in its car park with 10 spaces around you and then you come back to ure car to find cars all around you sometimes i wonder if its one of those unsolved mysteries of plant earth... -.-

I will (and do) quite happily park in the furthest spot from the door at the supermarket in whatever the weather rather than risk some scrote driver booting open the door of their scrote wagon along with their 5 kids doing the same with the rear doors right next to mine. The alternative is to park it in between two more expensive cars although each time I upgrade thats getting harder to do

My late father bought my mum a new 320 bm back in 1982. It was 4 days old and someone poured paint stripper all over it.
It's just jealousy.

Supermarket home delivery is the way forward when it comes to avoiding car park dings.

My car has not even graced a supermarket car park since I've had it and long may that continue...

It's strange because I would only expect prestige cars to be targets but I've certainly seen a wide range and age (although granted - the damage could have occurred anytime) of cars which have clearly been vandalised with a key or similar.

I think it is an intelligence / mentality issue because the thought of keying a car has never once entered my mind - even as a teenager. If I saw nice cars, I appreciated them and enjoyed watching them or hearing them drive off etc.

Very strange world.

I find the problem with home delivery is that most of the items are very close to their 'sell by' date.

Supermarkets appear to me to use the home delivery service to off-load stock close to their 'sell by' date.

 

[John]

Fair point - there are a few items like that in our shop (normally things like ready made items e.g. pasta salad or fresh meat / salmon etc.).

I suppose it depends what you buy.

We work round it in other ways like pre-cooking stuff that we will get stitched up on but it doesn't cause much of an issue for us.

Not having to shop and no dinks more than makes up for it!

Vandalism

I think it is about powerlessness.

The culprits feel they are unimportant, not taken seriously enough. By damaging a fancy Mercedes and therefore hurting someone they perceive to be more successful than them they assert their potency. This brings them joy. Not that they understand what motivates their behaviour. Knobs basically.

- sorry to hear about your car,


We do know that the offenders are unhappy with themselves and their lives. So in this case that is a plus.

Just imagine how sad you have to be to bust up a bus stop

 

[trainer]

Pointless vandalism.

We have had our house egged twice in the last 12 months. We have grilled the children but they don't know who did it.

Asserting their potency in trhe same way they key the car, smash bus stops.

Hopefully one day somethign will happen that brings it all into sharp focus for them.

Not in my lifetime.

Speaking of 'scumbags'

 

[John]

Strangely, my neighbour had this recently - four or five large scratches over the bonnet and boot lid.

It's a nice condition Z4 3.0 Si in Interlagos Blue.

Had it parked in a train station car park in Kent and came back to it.

100 lashes of the birch I think.

I got up last week to find some plastic on my lawn, i wasn't quite sure what it was until went to work the next day.That was when i realised it was the remnants of my petrol cap & the scrotes had nicked £30 worth of Diesel out of my van!! Luckily there wasn't much more than that in it as i'd worked the weekend. If only i'd have caught em!!

 

[corned]

If only i'd have caught em!!

I would like to have watched that!

 

[BIG UN]

Hey up mate, I did mention to the police when they came round about me catching them & having a word in there shell like,He looked (up) at me & was told in no uncertain terms if they had any cuts or bruises i would be in trouble!! When they cost me £130 & a wrecked lawn where they spilled diesel on it!! CCTV going to be fitted with alarm, so i might get to meet them!!
