Default Footprints on my car.

I just got my car back from doing the sail panel fix and I went to move my car today becuase my apt was painting the carport that I pay 25 bucks a month for and I look there's ******* foot prints on my car. Some little bastard kid with muddy shoes stepped onto my rear bumper, landed on my spoiler, turned and stepped onto the sail panel then onto the passenger t-top and jumped off. The mother ****** scratched my sail panel. Of course I notice this when I have to work so I parked the car and hopped into my DD and came to work needless to say I'm really pissed. I have an idea that its the kids that live across the street from us. CPS is getting called. The parents never watch the kids and the one time they were being watched by their alcohlic dad he yells at me to slow down becuase his kids are playing in the city street and the apartment parking lots instead of playing in their own ******* yard. Then the drunk bastard threw a beer can at my car.. ******.. Ok I'm done venting.

I was at a G/F Apt once and some little ankle biter drew on my hood with Crayons... I found out who the kid was and after a long drawn out process got the family evicted and my car detailed!!! Good luck with your neighboors!!

usually kids don't know any better but if you drive a nice car there is always some jack *** that wants to mess with it. I would be pretty FU***** mad if it was my car so my advice CALL CPS and get the hell out of there

Shitty.

At least you have an idea of who it could have been. Problem is you can't really point the blame unless you can be sure. It could have been some punk *** kids walking through the area, etc.

Obviously you know better than I. But it's a crap situation to be in either way. I feel for you man, every time I see a scratch on my car that I didn't put there, I'm out for blood.

Yeah now that I've calmed down I really don't think I have an excuse to call CPS but the apartment manager is paying to get my car detailed by a hand wash shop and going ove to talk to the parents and tell them the kids aren't allowed to play in the parking lot. Here are a couple of pics.



So far I cannot see any dents luck me.

Could always try and match the shoeprints... but the problem would be how to even get a hand on their shoes... I guess you gotta catch them in the act.

I had a problemonce with cats getting on my car and leaving footprints down the windshield. I put a tray with antifreeze out one night and the next morning it was gone... I never had a problem with footprints again. I don't know if this would really work with your application, but it worked with cats.

Call the local PD and establish a pattern with their address. The more calls the better. That shows the cops that the address might be trouble.
