Killing is too good for the coward(s). Here in Texas the law allows for the use of deadly force to protect your property or the property of others. Wouldn't you just love to catch someone in the act? Glad it was an easy fix for you.

Wow. Just wow. You have a beautiful car. Sucks that someone would have to be that jealous to damage it. Hope they get hit by a Corvette someday. Try and keep it in your site at all times or get a motion sensor alarm installed on it. Viper makes a good one.

In a way, it's a good thing they didn't just key it....

I've had a previous car keyed.... I saw the person hanging around the parking lot before I went into the store.... what a low-life. When I passed him walking I said, "hello" he didn't say anything back, just glared at me.

Good thing you were able to clean that up. Despite my rides being in the garage, there are some hoods always looking for opportunity to vandalize or steal no matter what neighborhood your in. That's why I have a gun.

Sorry to see what some lowlife done to you. I always say what goes around comes around, so one day they will pay for that in one way or another.

U might want to double check on that. I would bet it does not allow for it on a non-person misdeamenor. Would have to be a person crime. At the least, and aggravated Burglary (someone braking in while u are home) as it presents a danger to you and your family. You off someone for taking the neighbors garden gnome, and you might be in a bit of trouble. just my .02, I am more of an expert in Kansas law, but it ain't that diffrent. (all though Texas is not afraid of the death penalty, and I really wish other states would follow on that one)

On a side note, sorry to hear about your damage, glad it came out okay!
