I had my brand new Z-71 vandalized---they went around it with a hammer and broke out all the glass then went to work on the bed sides and mirrors. This was when I was 10 hours away from home.

Another time my father went out to his '63 split window and found cinder blocks inserted inside both doors.

Sad commentary on society indeed. Some people don't want to work hard for something and are extremely jealous of those that do. The worst part is they will always feel justified in their actions. Certain uh ........ "movements" as of late only reinforcing this.

 

Max-
Tonight you will sleep warm in your bed and wake up to a still-shiny red Corvette.
The dirtbag will not lead such a life. You come out on top in any comparison.

 

Does it really surprise you when we have a culture going on where successful people who made responsible decisions in life are made out to be villains? This crap is only going to get worse....

 

That happened to me about a month ago when I had it parked outside when I went to go see a movie. Came back and a strawberry milkshake was all over my right front fender, part of hood, and rim was covered. And it had dried by the time I got there. Sticky ****, and was a pain to get off. Only upsets you more after you had just waxed the thing. So no more going to places where it has to sit around for an hour or longer. I just dont understand jealous people. Who knows what I would have done had a caught the douche bag, but the rent a cop that drives around the parking lot, not even a big mall, heard it from me when I flagged him down. Same guy that gave me some type of warning ticket a few months back for taking up 2 spaces at the back of the lot. I swear they're all after us lol.

Even on my 02 TA, I ran inside the grocery store, and had the ttops off, was only inside for ten minutes tops. Came out to someone had spilled a full can of mountain dew on my seat.

On my 83 TA, someone keyed the passenger side door. The entire door. I found out who it was, confronted them. Threatened to press charges. Turned out they had absolutely no money to their name, lived on the street basically, decided not to waste the time or money going to court. Luckily the car now needs repainted finally, so it's not that big of a deal I guess anymore. Still pisses you off though.

I think its happened to all of us, but still sucks. Sorry to hear about what happened original poster.

 

sad to hear everyone's bad experiences - what is surprising is that I have driven my car coast-to-coast in Canada and also a lot in the US and fortunately never experienced this type of behaviour - it's been parked at all kinds of motels overnight, in a ferry and so forth, during these trips

 

Sorry to hear that, appreciate that it was not worse and go to a different coffee shop.

 

I'm sure that's it. Just like the "accidental slip" the perp would have had if caught in the act.

 

Sorry to hear this stuff happens. Agree that it relates to jealousy and some sense of class warfare, i.e. us against them.

I suspect this won't be a problem for me in south Orange County, where the BMW 3-series is as common as Honda Accord and Toyota Camry in other places. I suspect the more common sentiment here towards Corvettes is either "funny, that guy must be from the midwest" or "poor guy, must not be able to afford a Porsche/GTR/Ferrari and had to default to the poor man's supercar."

 

don't know if that makes a difference - where this happened to my car mostly what you see are Porsche, Benz, BMW and other high end luxury cars

 

could be that the perp was trying to open your door and saw you coming, hacksaw blades work well for that job

 

Makes me afraid to take mine out of the garage....

 

That is my biggest fear..parking in a public parking lot and having some jealous A$$..le trash my vette. Glad it was only coffee and not a key... Shake it off. When I go to the low class places like WM, I take my junker...

 

I live in a relatively poor neighborhood, but nobody has messed with my nice rides over the years. In fact, I'm more likely to hear "nice car" from my neighbors than anything else.

I'm sorry that people act out like that. It's sad.

 

Anyone who labels people by 1% or 99% are idiots. So yes, you are probably correct.

 

Yup you are 100% correct. And Barry O. is leading the charge on that.

Shame actually.
