Angry No respect...

So I go to pick my sister up today and come out to my car and what do I see? A big "X" that has been carved into my side door. WTF!?!?!

Do people not have respect for other peoples cars anymore? I mean honestly, I'm sorry that the **** they roll in is rusted with three flat tires, but that gives them no ******* reason to key MY car. Last time I checked, I paid the damn payment on MY car. NOT THEM!! Why the **** would someone do something like that???

My car sits on the side of the house, so its pretty obvious this was no accident.



Evidently there has been a few reports in the last week of people's cars being keyed.


Anyone know any good body shops in the Northern Indiana area? Preferably Warsaw, Columbia City, Fort Wayne, or South Bend.

usually keyed cars means you pissed someone off...

This someone is usually smaller than you, easily intimidated, and has the feeling there is no other options for a confrontation..

The other small % is pissed off exs...

I wouldnt rule this out.

Sorry to hear about that. I felt the same way when some kids tagged the side of my house. We caught them the second time and the police scared the crap out of them. Revenge is good my friend. Hope everything works out.

I had nothing but problems with collisiion revision they left me hanging a couple times. My car is currently at Arrow Auto body here in Fort Wayne off of Coliseum Blvd. They have been the most helpful, and they have done quite a few hot rods around town here so they gotta be doing something right.

I have had cars damaged by haters, and Ex's. Neither situation did I do anything wrong, honestly! That person or persons just didn't like what I had and they wanted to destroy it. The one Ex thought I messed with her new boyfriends car but it turns out he was such a ***** someone else had got to him first, but she keyed my 87 Elcamino any ways. And she had Cheated on me!! WTF! I personally feel that with people like that there are unlying issues stuff only froyd could probably figure out. There is blog on Cars. com about people who take up two parking spots, adn you would not believe how many people on Cars.com none the less came right out and said what they would do to someones car if they saw it like that whether it was way out away from every one or not. some guys are ********, the part that pisses you off is you might never know who it is either.

Strange Thing: when one of my tires was mysteriously found flat on my SOM Z28, that same week, a guy with a 96 Z28 SOM called me and he had a flat tire same one as me, three dyas later I saw an SOM Trans Am in my home town with the same flat tire as me again. Now try and tell me some bitch didn't have it out for her boyfreind's car and couldn't remember which one was his or everytime she saw orange she cut tires. I have considered many different aftermarket add ons for my car: machine gun recording goes off when approaced, flames shoot from under the car, electrify the sheet metal so if touched they get f*cked up, ooooh liability little kids who cares, I've also found little kids muddy hand prints all over my car at the mall. What parent says hey go play in the mudd then come over here and paint on this car? Go to that blog at cars.com and you'll see what I mean about some people. I posted over there and threatened death and many worse things to people that would dare be so rude to others like that. I'm really sorry about your car. I could go on forever but I wont sorry this got to be so long.

Well, thats a good theory and all, except im not the first to report something like this in the last week. Theres been four reportings so far, different kinds of cars and I have absolutely no ties to any of the other owners.

The cops are saying its a random attack and theyre thinking its probably a kid or a group of kids just trying to make the papers.

Ill try to get pics asap.

What really sucks is, I lost my job last month due to out sourcing. Verizon decided to move their FiOS department from Ft. Wayne to Pensylvania. I havnt been lucky enough to find a new job yet, and unemployment is barely paying the bills. So the car might have to stay like this for a while.

Andrew, I live out close to Schoops. But from what I've heard from the police is its pretty random. You and Quinn might wanna store the cars in the garage if you can make the room.
