Careful street parking your car

Sunday morning I stayed over a friends house and come out to see some douchbag keyed the hood of my car from left to right. My insurance won't cover it because my deductable is $500 and the quote I got was $495. So pissed I wish I knew who did it Wish there was a way to prevent these things from happening.

That truly sucks. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I will say, I was up in Montreal for a bachelor party two years ago and one of the guys pissed on a parked car when we were walking back to the hotel. I was with a couple of other guys across the street, but made sure I told him what a douchebag thing to do that was. It probably didn't sink in, he was from NYC.

that sucks. I feel for ya!
Knock on wood i have been lucky so far with my 63 but my old Posrche was a convertable. Someone intentionally took a lit cigerette and placed it on my rear plastic window for my car and let it burn the full length of the cig and burned a 2" long hole. haters are everywhere. Usually scum of the earth!
You know...that 95% of america that is expecting a tax cut when we get a democrat in office hates which hate the 5% that will see an increase in taxes, because they figure we can afford it.
F-r's!

Yes, that happens to me too.

It also bugs me when you find a far away, remote spot in the workplace parking lot, that no one ever uses. You start parking there, then suddenly people start trying to grab that spot before you do, each day.

It's interesting what goes through people's minds....

That happens to me too. The first week I got my car I parked it at a mall and then come out to see someone already dented my driver side rear door. It's like they look for nice cars to park next to.
