Read that 3.6% of 500s get vandalised, wonder why it's so high, what makes it such a target?

Maybe because they can be customised? tts don't like it when your car is different.

Where did you get that figure from? Would be interested to see other results.

Fiat 500? Well a lot of young people drive them so could be a case of jealousy or something like that? There were loads in the student car park I was in last year and lots of cars got damaged in there.

Probably because they are fairly distinctive. That and jealousy.

It's a Fiat, maybe the paints just so thin that if someone brushes past them people think they've been keyed hehe

Hard to decide whether the comments section of the Daily Mail, or the comments section of pretty much any highly watched YouTube video are the ahole off the internet - so many idiots on those comments pages, it's hard to comprehend.

The most concerning part of the article. Some people have zero respect and to be honest, if you get caught keying a car, you should have your fingers cut off!

Unfortunately he appears to be an especially skillful troll / keyboard warrior so I don't think any amount of common sense or use of language would be enough to defeat that amount of stupidity.
