Feel sorry for you. The worst thing is, that we will probably see more of this in the future with the times we are in. The worst thing is that if the offenders are caught nothing ever happens to them. They have probably done it before, have no money and don't care.
I walked back from a rugby match in Twickenham some time ago and in front of me a thug keyed most of the cars in the Lexus compound on the A316. I ran over to a police officer and pointed out the thug - did they bother? - not at all.

Please, what ever you do DON'T take it to the Aston Approved Bodyshop in Berkshire. No naming and shaming but its in the town famous for "The Office"

Had the misfortune of having mine sent their to repair bonnet damage. Took way too long to fix, lied about time scales, and I had to send it back 3 times due to shocking 'orange peel' effect.
M+A Coachworks in Kentish Town is Aston-approved and they did a fantastic job on my DB9.

Gutted for you OP. Last week some lowlife jumped on the bonnet of one of my cars. Cost to repair out weighs a replacement. Not really "triggers broom" but would prefer to have the original bonnet frown

OP I feel you pain.

Having said that it was partly due to my job at the time hence the reason I was targeted. So it was personal in all cases.

Really bad news burntout frown

The paranoia will start to creep in.

You've probably made a few of us others who keep our cars on the driveway just that little bit more wary too.

Every sympathy - I can recommend a car cover - bit of a hassle but if you pop it on every night it'll do a better job than CCTV - a real passion killer for these nutters wink

I know everything has been said, but i just cannot no matter how i try, get inside these brain dead morons heads. Why o why, when they see a thing of beauty do they want to damage it? If i see a stunning looking girl with an ugly lump of a bloke, i might think how the hell did he pull her?, but i wouldnt want to go over and carve her face up. Same with a car, i might see a spoiled brat of a bloke getting into a great car that i know daddy paid for, but i wouldnt want to damage it, just admire the car. Sorry, i know i am rambling a bit but i just dont understand their mind set. I am furious for you. Hope you get it sorted. Just to let you know that not all scum bags get away with it. My son had his little MX5 written off by a couple of srotes who ran into the back of him then bailed. They picked on the wrong guy. My son and hispassenger mate both work on the doors. They chased and caught them, gave them a good hiding then phoned the feds who arrested them. No insurance, driving licence etc. At least they got a good slap.

Thats the problem - the mindset of people who do this is completely alien. I just don't get it. Like you I aspire to, rather than get angry at the achievements of others.

Sounds like justice was served.... I would have loved to have caught them...
But knowing my luck they would have fallen over and broke a finger nail and sewed me... Or I would have caught them and done something silly...

I have to back away sometimes in heated situations as it gets out of hand and end up on the wrong side of the PC law...

I have taken comfort knowing that they are scummy tossers who will never excell in life and they will probably end up in prison or dead from heroin OD, or someone at some point will catch them in the act and teach them some manors...

Thats an interesting user name?? Any pest control links??

It's all about envy.

Human personality is a complex topic but personality traits are on a continuum. In order to have most people as average, there have to be people at the extremes. Unfortunately as much as you try you can't avoid these extreme people in life. The key is to get on with your life and accept that such things happen. The hurt will disappear in due course but the culprit will carry the guilt with him/her all their life. What goes around comes around.

When you look at and take into the account the intelligence of the average person, it is truly scary when you have to think about the bottom 50%.

Not sure about that. I doubt if this bacensoredrd has any values, any remorse and has probably forgotten this episode and more likely than not done the same to someone elses P&J.

Yes, this sort of person would probably be quite proud of what they've done and been bragging to their mates about it. Sad really.

Burntout, In answer to your question re pest control. I am a falconer and hunt with my two hawks, and have done for many years. One of the birds is 17yrs and the other is 19yrs old. I also take my ferrets out to work with one of my hawks. I also shoot and fish, so basically if its got a pulse me or my menagerie want to kill or eat it. Verminator is my handle in my Harley club. They know me well.

Cool, We have a few sites that could use you and your birds... As for harleys, my dad is a fanatic, he has a heritage soft tail springer and the Jack danials old show bike, springer also.... nicest looking harley i ever seen..... And I had a buell a while ago XB9 Lightening.... A very nice bike, stage 2, was far better handling than any of my previous jap bikes...

I may return to 2 wheels again at some point.... Maybe if the ol man will sell his JD bike??? would keep that forever.....
