Did you really pi$$ anyone off on campus? Sometimes these acts are not random acts of stupidity, jeolosy or hate. Sorry it happened - get your self a heavy duty outdoor cover and park under a light.......

So many college adolescents. It's amazing that so many institutions of higher learning are filled with so many children of low mentality. I can feel your frustration.

Sorry about your misfortunate incident with the immature/jealous vandels. I saw a nice Vette in a parking lot one time with a large open grape fruit someone had intentional smashed on the back section.

I believe some of them are there only because their parents forced them to go.

If the damage is bad make a police report and file insurance!

Very sorry to hear about this. That must have been a real drag to discover. As you washed the mud away, I hope you picked out the larger rocks by hand. Might help prevent additional serious scratching that way. I agree with the others about a good car cover. It's not as easy to be jealous of something you can't really see as well and the incentive to act on the impulse decreases when you up the hassle quotient. Unless of course the perpetrator is really determined.
That's probably why my wife hides the cookies from me when she buys them at the market. If I can't see the bag, I can't attack it when no one else is looking.

Very frustrated right now...

There's always that fear you live with when you own a nice car. There's always potential for somebody to mess with it.
I hope I never have to experience that aweful feeling, if I do, I just hope I can catch the person in the act. I'll be more than willing to show him how to properly vandalize a car using his head. Yes, I will head-lock the bastard and drive his head into my fender until he drops to the floor unconscious.

Yeah, sorry guy. But I waited a long time to trade in my trans am on a vette until I actually had a garage to park it in.
When I did live in apartments with my TA, I still made sure everyone there knew it was protected by Glock .40 :o

I had my 92 vette convert. when I was at college, and one morning I came outside and saw that someone had cracked all four rear taillights, along with my foglights and my side view mirrors.....never found out who did it, but I learned my lesson, not to bring my vette to college anymore. So I know how you feel.

I hate hearing about crap like this. Someone always has to be an azz.
I am worried a little myself because I have to park my Vette in the driveway (un-lockable '69 Bronco in garage). I bought a car cover for it, and even if I lock the cover someone still can get to it.
