Vette Vandalized
Freakin' 
Pull on the touch pad to open driver's door, and some candidate for Plan B put gum there! "Good" news is that all that was done, but you can imagine my sheer joy.
No explanation, other than someone who can't leave other's property alone.
I was parked in the last spot, all the way over ... actually giving next driver "bonus" room.
I don't care what your beliefs may be, but a poster child for summary execution.

That's just the world we live in.
Around here you can park in the furthest parking lot from the store only to come back and find
some Einstein with a beat up pickup just had to park 5" from your driver's side door even though
there's 200 other empty parking spaces.
If you ever get into motorcycles it gets even worse......

My C5 was vandalized in my garage - had to be some kid walking by. Now I never leave the door up while I am not in the garage. Broke my driver side mirror.

It's still a distinct possibility if someone were to say something Monday ... while their near-corpse is doing the chicken, ask, "it isn't so funny now, is it?"

It was just gum...nothing to get too upset about. I would be super pissed about real vandalism..like keyed my car, jumped on the hood, smashed the glass, punctured my tire. Gum on the handle would just **** me off briefly enough to check over my car for any possible damages..none found I would be fine.
Probably a prank from a co-worker. Just be glad there wasn't any real damage!
