that's odd that someone would do that outside mike's house. Where in fairhaven does he live? There's alot of kids around there who have nothing better to do unfortunately and would never commit any real crimes so they resort to that stupid kind of stuff.

Nope haven't pissed anyone off lately or at all for that matter, that I know of. Where did you get your badges??

Mike doesn't live far off from the high school. There are a bunch of older folk that live in his neighborhood. I guess there were some trolls wondering the streets in the rain and cold with nothing better to do like you said, Jeff.

I know the area..it's mostly old people and then just your run of the mill families. But most of fairhaven kids as you know are ***** punks who do **** like that. My Firehawk got keyed over in that general area when i was at a friends house. I was lucky enough for it to buff completely out cause the idiots couldn't even key a car properly. How much damage is on the goat because of them doing that? Will it even be worth claiming on insurance cause of the deductible? I ******* hate people sometimes..it even makes me mad and it's not my car.

Yeah, there's not a lot of damage. Looks to be a screw driver to strip the
G T O off the trunk lid, missing the letter and scraping lines in the paint. The O came off and I guess it was good adhesive because there's an O of paint missing. Thing is with the trunk lettering, they didn't even take them, just scraped them "almost off", they were hanging off when I found this at like 1AM. The GTO badge on the passenger fender was simply taken off with a very small scratch that can be touched up and covered with a new badge. Just really shitty more than damage. Not enough to claim insurance, but just enough to ruin your day and what not!

You'd have to see it. . .

quite a few years back I was driving down the street and saw a girl-friend of mine's car in a parking lot, then notice a familiar car and a familiar girl doing something to the car. I turned around, went back, all body panels were very keyed. At the time a few people called me a snitch, but f them, I went to the cops. I ended up getting called to court, I went and testified. One girl was the younger sister of I guy I grew up with, but screw that, those girls got probably less than they deserved. Funny, that situation was backwards, girl keying girl's car over a guy ha.
