Why do People Key Cars?
Discussion
It's beyond me and I feel for you.
Many years ago I knew a guy that was studying for an automotive engineering degree at Loughborough Uni. Quite a prestigious degree and he probably went on to earn a decent living. Walking back from a pub one night I had to physically restrain him from keying a white Escort Cabriolet. His logic was they must be a "rich b
d" to own it.
Not a Ferrari, just an upmarket Escort.
He'd had a few beers but it was beyond me

Thanks chaps, I spent an hour I didn't have on it this morning.
Four grades of wet & dry followed by three grades of cutting compound all by hand as I no longer have a machine polisher.
But as Mark pointed out thems some deep scratches
Here's the best I could do in an hour of sweat & tears,
The thing is I've got a good idea who it was, every neighborhood has a little fekker & ours is "Ginger Kid".
"Ginger Kid" is getting a visit later
Please add your creative suggestions below on how I should deal with the little shiiiit

just because they can I guess Dave 
this and crash damage is my only worries with my car 
He is obviously hitting out at the way the system has let him down.
He perhaps needs more friends to spend time with.
So with that in mind can i suggest you embrace the poor lost soul, take him for a ride in your pride and joy as a good friend would.
Bring him to my place and we could all spend some quality time with my friends Messer’s Black & Decker, and Spear & Jackson.
He could then return home a changed person.

Fair brought a tear to my eye

Sorry to hear of this Dave, it's also a big worry i have as its always sitting in a very vulnerable place as you know.
Cheers Russ, you're probably alright up Garston way mate, and the fact nothing has happened so far is a good sign.Just be careful next time you bring the mighty LS Cerb round my way, "Ginger Kid" is still at large.
But not for long

Personally I would just kick the living st out of the little fecker, 
Even if he is not guilty, he looks like he needs a kickin.
And you could try to polish the scratches out with his face.
My mum says the best cleaners always have orange in them.
