Off Topic, but VERY relevant none the less...got me thinking
Sorry if this has already been brought up or seen. The owner indicates it is OK to share the photos. Facebook individual Don Lyons.
Not much on who did it or why but very sicking. Something to think about when evaluating our storage methods. Security cameras, covered windows, alarm systems, adequate insurance etc and how do I say this (not directed at the GTO owner at all or anyone here)----- interaction with others and internet persona?

the owner had to have really pissed someone off, divorce, money owed, etc. It's painful to look at. Any idea if local PD dusted for finger prints?

What happens when you take away their TV games and make them play outside. They haven't got a clue.

Sad but like all things internet -----I assume this actually happened to the FB member. One thing though, the pictures are real.

I agree. That is a personal vendetta, not random vandalism. Whoever did it needs to be drawn and quartered. My bet is that there is sex and money behind this....with the emphasis on the sex.....way too emotional to be anything less.

I am assuming the owner is male. No female, at least any i know, are physically capable of that type of damage and know enough to cave the roof, how to dislocate the doors and dump "something" nasty down the carb.

definitely the car was targeted.
must have been a male.
takes strength and understanding to inflict that kind of damage.
any actual info about the owner and any trouble he has had?

Hello
I seen something like this before, but also involved my 1968 GTO and a very very angry X g/f who broke up with at a bar many years ago.
She had her brothers help tune up my GTO in the parking lot with baseball bats. I was fighting two brothers and a angry X g/f. I got "tuned up" too thank god I had a friend pull up to the bar to save my ***.
This has a woman written all over it!
Tough break I just fixed up my GTO and went on with life.

No doubt about it. There is a woman in this equation and she is: A, Batsh!t Crazy, and B, VERY, VERY angry. A guy did the did, but the woman was behind it.

I tend to agree; that act is meant to be as hurtful and vindictive as possible....
A guy might have set fire to it but somebody took their time with this and relished each bit of damage inflicted....
I've seen similar sad things happen to an employee's beloved Harley when he got tangled up in a love triangle...
