So yes, I do live downtown. And yeah, in a particularly rowdy area full of beggars, squeegee kids and crazy homeless people.

And yeah, frosh activities have been going on over the last couple of weeks with lots of drunken university kids walking around.

But for Chrissakes, what is the fckuing point is keying a car? Did I wrong someone? Did my automatic wipers bruise an ambushing squeegee kid's finger inadvertently?

Whoever did it, should rot in a vat of his or her own waste and be force fed a big bowl of flesh eating disease.

If I choose to move, the terrorists have won.

Fack.

Hmmm....that car of yours really does seem to be cursed... Dad backing into the garage door, The dent in the hood.... It was STOLEN and recovered.... It's jinxed.

...or maybe "someone" followed you to Hull.....

Post a pic.....You've got that fancy pants phone of yours...
My phone is fancy pants, but I've got no adapter for the memory card at work. I'll take a couple of my TWO valiant steeds when I get home.

All these blemishes just make me a much faster parallel parker... No squealing tires just yet a la Jeep, but getting there...

Whoever did key my car should be fed their reproductive organs.

my nephew went out to the bars one night in a pretty cool "party bar" section of town. When he and his friend came out of the bar and walked to the parking lot they found his friends car smashed down. Some A-hole had jumped onto the roof and started jumping.... and jumping.... and jumping until the roof looked like it had melted around the tops of the seats. they couldn't even open the doors to the car to get anything out of it... they had to have it towed, and have the roof cut off. since the trunk and hood were also stomped, the car was totalled. he got screwed on insurance too! My nephew felt bad, cause he and his friends nominated this guy as the D.D. and then his car got stomped!

all I could think is that this took some time to do, and someone had to have seen it, but no cops were called or anything!

Much better than scratched paint. I don't get why you would do it, but that is better. They couldn't open the doors? That is awesome.

I thought that was the offical motto of the insurance companies.
"We screw you, and you pay us to do it, but don't call us whores!"

Not in any sort of beneficial way. Sure, they'll cover it, but then jack up my premiums later.

I already have two dings in my hood (another dirty vandal's handiwork) but haven't had them fixed because insurance is essentially worthless unless your car becomes undrivable and or stolen.

Are you sure you can be dinged for a comprehensive claim?

why not try polishing that? i cant see well, but if you dont see the metal, you might be lucky and its just the clear coat.
if you are thinking about painting it anyways... go ahead and try it first.

my car got an awful scratch from a soccer ball last week. and my car is dark dark dark gray, almost black.. it was an awful scratch.
fortunately i got it buffed and you cant tell there was a nasty scratch there by now.

A few years back my wife and I got her the first new car she'd ever owned. Some ahole keyed it from front fender to rear fender the second week she had it.

Lesson: Don't ever buy another car that has an even remotely sporty look, is super bright blue, low to the ground, and has 17 inch rims.

"Hey look. Cool car! I wish I could have one." Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeech!

Unless you get the automatic-springloaded-boxing-glove-riff-raff-eradication option.

keying a car is one of the dumbest things ever. if you do it to someone you don't know, you are an idiot/asshole, and if you do it to someone you do know then you are a coward.

At least it's on the passenger side. That way I'll only get enraged when I approach that side of the car...

i got my car keyed in college and the insurance company covered it no questions asked. vandals and hit and runs were 100% covered all they needed was an estimate. it ended up costing like 900 dollars or somthing stupid. make sure you file a claim with the police for insurance.

What part of the [haha] real world are you living in?

16 years in SoCal [LA, SB, SD, and SY] and no mention of keying a car from anyone I know.

1.5 years in Frosty Canada [where people are so polite - ha f'n ha] and it's happened to two different people I know.

So, I ran into a cop as I parked my car yesterday after work. I asked him if it was worth filing some sort of report for the vandalism. He said "Of course!" I said "Great! Let's do it!" He said "You have to report to the station to do that".

He was right there! My car was right there! I was right there! How long could it take? 5 minutes? What's the matter copper? Coffee cooling off? The froth going flat on your latte? There was another cop in the back seat of the cop car too. Three guys, just sittin there shootin the **** over a nice cup a joe.

It seems to me that you can file a report with guy on the street. My my friggin car got STOLEN I filed a report with the cop in his car.

So, yeah, filing a report is worth the trouble, just not worth this particular cops time during his latte break.

And no, the cops were not on their way anywhere else. I could see from my place that they were parked there for another hour.

Montreal cops irritate me.

Wait, maybe I'm being too harsh with the three amigos. I'm sure they were doing some surveillance...yeah... of the university ass walking to the metro station....
