Magic Markered
Came out of the show last night, and found some nice magic marker work on the hood of my car. Thank God the idiot didn't see the clear bra that he wrote on. If i could only be lucky enough to run into someone doing this, it would make my day.
I would end up in jail, but it would be a nice visit.

good old school values and respect for others property aren't taught today, IMHO of course. sad, very sad. just like the fact that you have to teach pets not to pee on the carpet...they don't pick that up by themselves.

Yes, there are a lot of jealous people out there that have no respect for others property. The last time I went to the theater in my Corvette someone threw a drink all over one side.

Also, vandalism or rudeness sometimes is done for "just something to do" by kids. I always pick up rocks in my driveway because if a child sees a rock, they feel compelled to throw it. If they see a stick, compelled to hit stuff with it. Once during a tune-up, I took all my new spark plugs out of the wrappers and lined them up, set the gaps, went in to get a beverage, and came out to see 7 plugs. I was so disappointed.

Learned that the hard way years ago when someone keyed our new car one night, while going to a restaurant downtown. I didn't know it until filling up with gas the next day. Man was I mad . . . for a while. Never will do that in my vette.

stories like this **** me off. It is just ridiculous that you can't even go anywhere without people messing with your car. Something about a newer vette draws $%^&^%g stupid people around to do dumb things.

Sorry to hear that happened. Don't know if it makes a difference on paint, permanent or washable magic marker. Hope it's the latter tho. (the zaino folks are just about to chime in and say, nothing stickes to zaino!)

I try to park directly out in front of the theatre so that myself, or anyone else can see the car through the front windows of the theatre building, from the concession areas or ticket booths.
This last time I returned, to find a black Z06 parked right next to mine.
Apparently the owner had the same idea. Park it in view if you want to take it at all.
