Why do people do this?
So its a pretty nice day here in Virginia Beach today. I go out to wash my car so that I can take it out for a spin later.....That is when I notice that someone has keyed the driver front fender! Talk about being pissed!!! Unfortunately I am on NAS Oceana for a school right now......so not at home......It ones of those things that isn't even enough to claim on insurance but its the fact of having to get it fixed! I don't understand why someone would do this to a beautiful car! It just makes me sick 
Sorry just needed to vent a little!!!

Oh yea
Sorry about that, I fully understand.
I recently went to a club where you HAD TO park with the Valet and when I got my car back the very very low rocker panel in front of the passenger wheel well was gouged about a 1/4" deep and about three inches long where they had turned too close to a curb.
They of course said they did not do it but NOBODY drives my car but me and I don't hit curbs.
Cost me $400 bucks to get fixed.
GOOD LUCK !

That is one of the reasons I moved out of Va. Beach and moved down here to Nags head! I had both my street rod and my Vette [c-4 at the time] vandalized when I lived there. Most of the Va. Beach people are great but their seems to be a growing population of "A" holes livng there now! I would love just one time to catch one of these "losers" in the act, but I would surely end up in jail while they wiled away their time in a nice hospital room...

I live in a pretty nice part of town that's supposedly inhabited by sensitive, enlightened individuals. But over the years (and particularly of late), I've endured way too much hit-and-run / vandalism damage to our family's DDs -- so I never allow my Vette to be out of my sight.
A sad commentary on today's society: ya have something nice that you worked hard for and are proud of and some azzhat comes along and messes it up in a fraction of a second. Worse, said azzhat somehow feels really good about what they just did.
What the hell is wrong with this picture?

Sorry it happened
Sorry some idiot did that to your car. However, I cannot understand "Mudlizards" approach to owning a vette!! Why would anyone keep it in the garage or in sight all the time. It is, after all, a car built to be driven and enjoyed. I even take mine to the grocery store, granted, I park way out, but not driving it if I can't see it every minute is a real waste of fine machinery!!

Thats a damn shame ,your always going to have those select group of axxhats out there ,i never allow my car to be out of my site when im out, nor would i allow a valet to park my car, i call this piece of mind for me because if i ever caught someone in the act of vandalizing my ride i would definitley go to jail

Happened to me the first week I bought my car. Sadly, it comes with the territory when owning a nice car. No point getting pissed after the fact, but if I cought them in the act it would be a whole nother story
