Damage done to your vehicles
Discussion
I've just had to fork out £300 to repair the damage done to my MX-5 by some t
t who drove into it and then drove off again whilst I'd left it in a car park. I'm currently feeling pretty peeved at people in general, as this isn't the first time this type of thing has happened to me. This type of thing isn't something that someone doesn't notice, so they must've seen it and just thought "fk it, not my problem".
I'd love to find these people and force them all to crash into each other until they're mashed into a bloody pulp.
So far I've had my 106 keyed down both sides:
Someone hitting it in a car park and driving off (look how far over the line they'd had to have gone!):
My bike being knocked over whilst in my driveway, and scratching it. They even picked it up again afterwards! No note though
And most recently the MX-5 dent across 2 panels:
So, as misery loves company, anyone else had any damage done to their vehicles by irresponsible idiots?! I saw Pet Troll's post about his car being keyed the other day, and I'm at least grateful that I've avoided that so far ( here
).

).My dads brand new Sierra Sapphire in the 90's had the window smashed twice. After the first time dad had
'No Stereo Left In This Car' note on the window.
He was in a meeting and a thug smashed it for the second time left a note that said
'Just checking mate, and you was right'
We can laugh now but at the time it was not funny.

Had drunken people walk over the roof of my first car (A brand new motability Hyundai Amica!) luckily the big dents in the roof just got punched out.
Had the S2000 keyed.
Quite happily run older cars now. If they get dented and scratched, I don't care
I agree, although none of my vehicles are newer than 1999 or worth more than about £2k but it's still annoying!Had the S2000 keyed.

i have had so many dents and dings from car parks its unreal
very fortunately i caught the scum bag in the act of keying my RS4 and was able to explain to him the errors of his ways
a van took out the complete side of my breadvan CTR in tesco's and drove off, about 2k worth of damage
my dhead neighbour backed into my 1 week old R32 in his new XKR, senile old wker, I had a car up my chuff and couldn't move and literally was on the horn and flashing the lights for over 30 seconds as he kept coming back, should have educated him ...
OH had her 2 month old polo keyed in a car park ...

Some idiots ran over the top of my car when it was parked up. Dents all over it. Had strange electrical faults for the rest of its life, i assume due to a short one of the dents had created somewhere.
I also had some damage to the rear of my focus, nice long scratch along the entire width of the bumper. Got it resprayed while having some other car park damage fixed (again, not done by me) and within a week some other twit had scratched it again. Infuriating. It's only a focus, but it's mine, so fk off touching it.
Oh and also loads of small scratches from fattos squeezing between my car and my neighbour's, to save them walking an extra 10 feet and using the actual path.S

My father got back to a car park years ago to find a scrape along his bumper and a note on the windscreen, which turned out to be blank. Presumably someone had hit it and left a blank bit of paper so any bystanders assumed they'd left thier details and therefore didn't bother getting involved.
On the plus side his was a series 3 Landrover and judging by the amount of paint on the bumper the other vehicle had come off a lot worse.

I was living on a hill and came back from holidays to find my car at the bottom, about 15m from where I had parked it when I left, 2 neighbours had witnessed a pissed up old boy in a silver avensis (try tracing that description!) had crashed into it and then detached himself and drove off 
Same street, was on the route home for most people from a large bar/club, and at kicking out time at the weekend I had to either park at a friends house 10mins walk away or sit in the sitting room with a baseball bat watching my car through the sitting room window. Lost mirrors at £180 each, keyed multiple times, dents in roof, valve covers nicked etc was a pain in the balls, fking hate vandals with a passion!

I once had both of my rear tyres slashed overnight. It was an old Renault 9 1.2, so hardly an attack motivated by jealousy. Just casual vandalism I expect.
Doing two tyres is so much more satidfying than one, from the vanadal's persepctive, don't you think? Means the owner's going to have to carry one wheel to the garage and back to get one tyre fixed/replaced before he can drive the car again.

I have to say I really feel like shouting 'WHY!!' when this stuff happens to me.
I have had caught a 12 year old scrote trying to nick the valve caps off my old 68 Mustang. On giving him a bloody good telling off his 9 year old companion starts threatening me. I really should have slapped the little bastid, but was restrained by the thought of repercussions.
I have had my work hack the ubiquitous e36 328 keyed twice down its length at work and round the corner from home.
My brother also had his mint e39 BMW keyed several times and some bastid in a white van ran into the front and ran off.
It happens and its just life and something we all have to deal with.

Loads.
Had some kids walk all over the tailgate of the Saab at a school I teach at. They were caught on CCTV and got a bking and the school coughed up, but small recompense really.
Old dear parked behind me on a road drove into the back of my MX-5 while I was loading it up, had to jump out of the way to avoid being crushed.
Mrs' Puma had the front bumper ripped off and wing dented by a car/bus whilst parked on the road
Woman swung her door hard into the side of the Saab while I was asleep in it and then her and hubby got all defensive about it when I had a go. Fortunately no damage.
A fortnight after a partial respray somebody at my old flats took a big chip out of the fresh paint on the Saab.
And so on
People are just careless tts that don't take any responsibility for their tttishness and carelessness.
