Vandalism, keying stories anyone?
hi i have a 2005 c230 4-door black on black. I'm only 17 and i go to high school. yes i am very lucky to have a nice car. I was wondering if anyone had stories about getting keyed or anything else. Pic would be cool too. I park very far in the back of school so i don't get keyed. People seriously threaten to key it for no reason. A couple days ago, someone threw a full water bottle at my car. Luckily it didnt scratch it.

i live by a high school and i got home after buying some food and i have to pass by the school to get home. it was their lunch time so there was a ton of kids on the street. i was looking at the car that morning when i was at school and i know there wasn't any scratches. i had to give my bro a ride to work(2hrs later) so i go downstairs and i see this huge scratch on the entire passenger side. i know someone from the school did it but i don't know who so i souldn't really do anything. besides being keyed, i also had my tires slashed and an egg thrown at it.

Newton's car looks like a gangster car thats why nobody touches it. if you want your car to be safe make it look "gangsta", chrome, tints, etc. i doubt anyone will mess with your car then. they dont want to face the reprocussions of the driver who drives such cars. they dont know that you might have handguns inside, for example.

have you been to the projects? have you seen the cars that park there? now pretend your some wanabe vandal and you see a dark black Denali on 26s, chrome grille, smoked lights, etc etc. now, knowing where you are and that gangsters tend to drive such cars, would you go and key such a car?
the anwser is NO. unless you are out of your mind of course, and WANT to get shot. its up to you.
the same question, would you rather key a C240 that is stock, maybe a lady drives it, or a "pimped out" gangseter looking C240. most often then not the stock one will be keyed first.
would you rather key a top-of line harley davidson, or some older yamaha or honda bike? same answe, same logic to keying. think like a vandal to defeat the vandal.

one quick question, what color shows up when a ben gets keyed? is it gray under the paint? cause it would help if your car color was similar to the color underneath that way even if you're keyed its not as bad looking. image how horrible it looks to key a black obsidian benz compared to a gray one

Some years ago I went to a wedding and parked my black W202 S

same here. *knock on wood* so far nothing has happened. the only other modded cars i usually see around campus are M3's (mainly) and some G35 coupes. but there are some CLS' around and S classes. oh, and im 18 in City College (for now ), till i transfer out to USC.
