LOL! I'm liberal and many of my friends are conservative. We try our hardest not to get into political converstations. Either way, NONE of us put political stickers on our cars. We love our cars too much.

just a-holes in general do stuff like that. when I was in college in early 70s I had 70 white vette. lived in college trailers (married) and one halloween my car was egged....no other car in the trailer park was vandalized, over 100 trailers, so you see what I am saying....jealous, a-hole in general, envious take your pick. I think people like that should be beat to a pulp on site.

Yeah, I've heard of video surveillance systems like that for your car, but I wouldn't want to add weight to my car. If anything, I'd be looking for lighter parts to replace my stock ones with.

I started a thread about In-Car security cameras a while back because I was worried about these exact things happening. No one really had much info. I am looking for the system that this guy has:

I'd like to find a light weight DVR system for my car... I may have to make it though.

BTW, here's a system, but it's a bit too bulky to be putting into a Vette, IMO.

Anyone who knows about any good surveillance systems for cars please post em up.

As a fellow C5 Z06 owner and Marine, I feel for ya brother. I haven't had anything like that happen to my Z06 (KNOCK ON WOOD!) but I had lots of BS to deal with when I had a Honda CRX on Camp Pendleton. That car was broken into and vandalized several times. 
I would maybe just try and be happy that the vandalism was nothing permanent. I got out of active duty before I got my Vette, but the only sticker I have on it is a small USMC on the back windshield. It is always possible that some people are anti-military or even anti-Marine in particular, but most Americans are supportive of those in uniform, so I certainly hope that you don't have any more BS happen to your car... and God forbid you catch anyone in the act!!!!
On a lighter note, this is yet another case where a Trunk Monkey would come in very handy...

Hasn't happened to my car yet, but I was out with a buddy and when we walked out to the parking lot, there were sneaker prints all over his white Jag. Some one had walked from the trunk, over the roof, down to the hood.

I had some one write **ck Chevys on my friends pewter vette last week. They wrote it in perm blue marker. It was parked right in front of a door of the apartment she lives at and under a security light. Someone really wanted to make a point

After finding out how much of GM the UAW owns, I considered writing that on my car myself. Besides the point however...
After my ordeal, we figured out one of the kids who was pissing on my car was a co-worker's son.
"Daddy's in the military and never really loved me or respected my feelings... blah.... blah.... blah...." you get the picture. Pure fruitcake of a kid, green hair and all.

The last laugh sounds like the slamming of bars in front of you.
