Trying to damage my car...

So basically, as I come to the senior parking lot after school today, i come to find out people were trying to mess with my car...

1) they tried to get someone to back into it

2) they wanted to steal the hood ornament

3) one of the dumbasses put their McD cup in the rim, which spilled some coke onto my rim...


Now, both of the dumbasses involved drive Honda Civics, but its more of a they think they're cool thing...

So should I get back at them or let it go?

dude - chill out.

it sucks that they messed with your car but you've got a lot more to lose than they do. hopefully, if you don't get worked up they'll go away.

With that said, I would start parking in places where your car will be safer, possibly under a camera if your parking lot has them. if not, I would choose a place that is readily visible so you'll at least have some witnesses if they actually do something destructive.

If you escalate the situation, things will only get worse. You trash thier civics, they'll trash your Benz. In the end, I'd take 1 Benz over 2 civic's.

I completely understand where you're comming from. I'd be pretty pissed if I were you too. It's just not worth it. Go get the coke washed off, straighten your three pointed star and take a nice cruise and you'll be ok.

Tell the school to watch the lot. Usually helps, even if it is a rent-a-cop.

Did you see them doing it or was it a third party that told you?

agreed.....your best bet is to park in an area that is very visible, also I would let the school know that there have been threats to your car and would like someone to check the student lot on occasion. Im surprized your school doesnt have police or monitors regularly checking the lot.

also these kids dont seem to be very smart, im sure they'd leave behind incriminating evidence had they done anything.

Where do you go to school? TC? I went to a wedding there a few years ago, and since it was a very large wedding, we were directed to park in a side lot, which I assumed was a student lot. Came out to get more film and my then fiancee's car was being keyed by some punk a$$ kid. Sigh....

Ya don't get to involved. You never what kind of crazy people out their have a gun. There have been some crazy stories around here. A while back, at a close by college, these two cars got into intense road rage. One car followed the other and when two of the guys got out to confront the other car, the other car pulled guns on them and shot them dead. Pretty tragic. No car, and I mean NO CAR is worth dying for. If they do it again call the cops and try and get their plate numbers.

Sorry this has to happen to you man. Sucks people can't just respect others property.

no, i go to hillsborough high school... i am in the IB program, aka an accelrated program for those who dont kno... although the school is in the ghetto (no racist comment intended), the kid was a fellow IB student... but w/e... im just gonna let this one go... because like some of you said, a damage to a benz isnt worth a damage to a civic... or more importantly bodily damage by getting into a serious fight which can get out of hand...

yeah they are jealous of us mb owners, this kid on my gf's block stole "valve caps" off my car thinkin that my tires would deflate and i caught him once, hes just mad kuz hes parents drive a old school caravan... this kid said "oh this is just a benz, when ima ur age i woodnt buy this ****, i'd get a ferarri" funny thing is hes like 2 years younger than i am and i said to him, atleast i HAVE a benz not a bike thats from costco

so dun mind the haters, just like i said, go sneaky, like cutting the wire frame off that kids bike...hmmm wonder if he found out why his bike was fu*ked up

but still pissed, right?

the only haters i had so far were screws on the roads
luckily in my college there are somwhat like 10 BMW's and 5 mercs so the odds are rather low in case one kid would decide to do something stupid

I had my past car vandalized by my past lacrosse teammates while in HS...told the school admin., the school cop, the school security officers, and the assistant principal and even the coach...the did it once more after that but then they got in good trouble- or at least got shaken up from the intimidation of admins. After that I parked in far spots away from the 'busy' spots and was fine since then
