I can't fcuking believe it.
Discussion
ive been there as well and i feel for you 
for me it was a blend of impotence and despair and i hope you dont change your car because of it. dont let the shits win. its crap but the key is to target harden your car with visible deterrents. its no fun to turn your house, car and surroundings into fort knox, but, sometimes you have to.
with repairs, i know a stunning spray shop that i used to work for, but, they charge the earth. if you do put it through the insurance tho, let me know, theres no one else id trust my car with.

Falling Down with Micheal Douglas.
Good call, but isn`t it more a study of a "normal" working bloke driven almost to madness by the scum that surrounds him?
My favourite film of all time. The main character D-Fens (MD) is not normal though, he's very emotionally disturbed with a failed marriage and lost job who finally snaps when stuck in a traffic jam.
'I lost my job or it lost me, I'm over qualified and under skilled or maybe it's the other way round, I forget which, I'm obsolete...I'm not economically viable'
I have calmed down a bit now. Looked at the keymarks all over the car and its not a pretty site. Still can't get over the fact that it was done within 2 mins of me being in the house. The car is normally parked in the garage, actully if its not being driven then its either parked at her work carpark (secured underground) in Canary Wharf or its parked in our garage at home. Its just i had taken the car out of the garage to work on it, needed a tool, ran in the house to get it and when i came back out the car had been keyed.
I havn't pi$$ed anyone off, i think that it was done by some scrote that has a carrot shoved up his arse or something. Pr**k.
The misses didn't see it this morning as it was dark, but i have a feeling that i will get a call in about 20 mins when she gets to the underground parking and see more marks there.
i looked at my insurance policy this morning and found that i have NCB protection so at least i still keep my 5 years if i make a claim.
So will be ringing around for some quotes for re-spraying the pannels.
Does anyone have a number for any recommeded garage(s) local to Brands Hatch that do body repairs?
I would like to take it to Austec as they now have a paintshop and i like the guys down there as they know what their doing (take the car there for services etc) So i hope that they are the cheapest.
So if i make claim it will probably affect my premiums on my next insurance, but not to worry as i doubt i will have a TVR in June. Probably some silver 4x4 that doesn't show the keymarks if they have ago at that. And that would probably be about 300 to insure. ah, what a $hit week so far, wonder what will happen next.
Thanks for your support everyone, its nice to know that there are people out there that care and sythpothise. And the world isn't just filled with scum toerags.

Why oh why do we bother?
It is chronically crystal that no matter how many nillions are frittered away on benefits by government, society is now - imho - permanently blighted by an underclass of irredeemable villains.
Having watched the programme covering the horrors of fascist death camps last night, however, I feel compelled to temper the common, knee-jerk 'solution' that one might understandably trumpet at moments like this...
Nevertheless, society is faced with a dilemma: I'm genuinely not convinced Albion's quality of life can develop with these bands of marauding vagabonds present.
If I'm honest, property owners exacting extreme retribution might not be such an unworkable concept after all: the 'system' has no method for effective deterrent and the political classes no stomach to raise the ante/call time on the scum.
Michael Winner may have a bloody good point.
In this case, only secure parking seems the answer - somehow.

One consolation, these scrotes are probably destined for a life of poverty and misery as they obviously haven't the brains for anything else. Serves em right.
Grouch.
Sadly, this will be of little consolation to those whose property they mindlessly ruin as they wend their way thoughtlessly through their useless poxy lives!
I had my car keyed back in September in a multi-story car park. And it's not the first time.
I'd love to catch em. In the words of John Travolta in Pul Fiction "it'd be worth them doing it for me to catch em". Problem is, I've no idea how to stop a determined scrote from behaving so mindlessly.
I did, however, take some comfort from one undeniable fact: These gits will never amount to anything in life. They'll grow up with no prospects, will drive crappy £200 cars and live on council estates on Government handouts. As for me, I'll put my hand in my pocket and pay for the damage, carry on earning significantly more than they are capabale of earning, raise a good family, go on nice holidays, continue to drive nice cars, live in a nice house and continue to socialise with a good bunch of law abiding friends. So, ultmately, I get the last laugh!!
Would I sell the car? Absolutely not "out of general principle".

Condolences d3ano, I really don't understand why the scum do this either. They seem to have the idea that you can afford a nice car so therefore you must be able to afford to 'fix' it too, and what the hell 'you're insured aren't you?'
I can empathise with you as over the last 3 years I've had the tyres on my car 'screwed' at least a dozen times, always a 2" chipboard screw, always right up to the head at right angles. cost me several repairs and 2 new tyres at £150 each. Same as you, car is always garaged or on secure car park at work so must be targeted on the rare occasions I leave it on the driveway. I'm going to put up cctv, but even then, as someone else said, if I find out who's doing it what the
can you do about it?

Chipsaway don't do bonnets as they are too big.
Because they are mobile they will only do the doors, wing and boot. bit pointless really considering that if i get the bonnet re-sprayed its going to have to be blended in with the wings etc.
Still got a guy coming round to give me a quote on Sat, he said that he will be able to give me a quote of what i should be chaged, so that the garages won't over charge me.

Agreed. To be honest I'm mildly paranoid about this sort of thing, and would probably go postal if I caught the scrote in the act...which would then get me a criminal record. F'ing stupid system, made worse by an excessively-liberal judiciary.
