ARGH!!!! Somebody Keyed My Car!!!

When I got out of the theaters at Mercado 20 in Santa Clara, i noticed somebody keyed two lines across both of my driver side doors. I'm so ****ed off at these kids who have nothing better to do than hate on others' cars. it's so bad that this place has that reputation. anyway... i just wanted to vent. thanks for reading. hahaha

mann....if your not gonna repaint the car...you might as well just pocket the money to spray it....and save up for a job...cuz i know your kit isnt painted yet.....otherwise we might be able to find a shop that will paint all that stuff for the price insurance gives you.

all i have to say is that sucks but be happy that you didnt get keyed on both sides. SOmeone keyed 2 lines on each side getting a total of 7 panels. the damage estimate was $1700. funny thing is i have nothing done to it when it got keyed. also, i want to mention it was in front of my house.

omg when i went to see lord of the rings, I parked my car BEHIND the Mercado theatre... it was all dark and stuff back there, i was so terrified my car would get jacked but I had no choice because i was getting late. Where did you park your car?! It's been a while since i've been there now haha, now i'm gonna be paranoid when i park there.

Really sorry to hear that, I hope you get that fixed soon! It must have been one ricers since the lot is always half full of em.

damn vihn, sorry to hear about this.. hopefully you can come out on top with a new paint job, i don't think insurance rates go up too much with the first "keyed car" claim honestly. good luck with whatever happens, some people just eat shtt.

the day I catch someone breaking into or vandalizing my car is probably gonna be the day I go to jail, I have no respect or sympathy for people that damamge or steal from other peoples cars. Most of them have that "oh he has a nice car? who the **** does he think he is? let me show him whos better now" mentality.

This is my worst fear, that someone will come along and key my car and with my color that I have something like this would cost me big money.

btw how deep are the key marks? are they too deep to compound out?

That's a better reputation/problem than the Century Gateway 16 at Grant/I-10
in Tucson has. The problem there is theft. Cars get boosted, on the
highway within about 30 seconds and into Mexico within 2 hours. So,
by the time most people would know there car is gone it's already in
a chop shop.
