Help me understand this....

Ok I am fed up with these marks on my car. This is not an act of vandalism or curbs or even other cars. I get these scratch-like marks on the front of my car (see picture). When this first happend I thought it was another car that I came in contact with or that car tipped me. But it wouldn't make sense because as I drew on the pic this mark goes all the way around in a semi-circle. This time it's more highly visible plus its now partially on my left hand side too in a half circle. I also see the same type of scratch-like lines on top of the right hand side marks (see picture again). I will try to take a picture of the actual marks but maybe someone has had same experience. I have no clue where these marks comes from because they're in such spots on my car that you can rule out everything except vandalism, which its not because this has happend many times before.

OK I FIGURED IT OUT...

Those marks were actually dust that created those dark marks. It was from the brakes of the front tires. It makes sense since my front tires are always more darker, dirtier then back tires.
