Get a DNA sample, check the registry, hunt them down and kill them.

I spent 2 hours washing/detailing my car only to have my neighbor shoot grass on the side with his lawnmower, then later adjust his sprinkler so it would soak my entire car. I was a little pissed, and he sure heard about it - but he's a drunk and his only means of support these days are through his drug selling daughters, so I wasnt expecting any less from him.

Thats just the way people are these days, and I believe more harsh terms of justice are needed.

And, the gum didn't end up on the paint. As much of an ahole as that person was, they could have gotten you much worse.

Some people just have no respect for the property of others. Hopefully some day it will come back on them. At least it was only gum.

I don't think it's fair to single out the eating establishment in this case. This sort of disrespect to peoples property happens anywhere in this country.

Dang - you are having nothing but trouble with that Vette

Didn't you get a ticket (90/55) and a guy hitting your Vette (gas station) just in the past two weeks?

I live in Plano, and you must be having the issues in Richardson or S Dallas

I was told long ago by my Father (old school car guy) that you can never have anything nice without someone fk'n with it, very sad but oh so true. I go out of my way to keep my rides out of harms way but someone, somewhere, with no respect for their property, let alone yours, will eventually do something dumb and cause a scratch, key your ride, bend an antenna etc etc. People suck.

Glad it was only on the glass ... hell of a lot cheaper than a key mark down the door panel ...

It does seem to get harder and harder to have anything nice and be able to enjoy it.
