Why the disrespect? (Vandalism)

Why such disrespect?
After a nice thanksgiving, which included many meals and lots of laughs ( I hope everyone had a similar time) I take a look at my car and I noticed a nice big fat scratch in the front bumper cover. It looks like someone couldn't parallel park too well. The paint from the scratch didn't match the car in front of me so they must have made a quick getaway. To make matters worse it looks as if someone had spit on the car as well. Whether it was by accident I'm not sure but I ask why such disrespect for other peoples belongings? Whether it be a car, truck or tricycle I try to show the same level of care and respect I would with my own property. It is a shame you can no longer have something nice and keep it that way.

Sorry to hear about that. I know that at least at my thanksgivings everyone there is family. I really hope you had SOME strangers at the event because if that was from family or friends you gopt some people that you need to check. Find out who had a car that color and track em down.

It's just not safe to park your whip on the street anymore.

Technics,
I feel for ya man, it's happened to me as well... someone's scratched up my front bar, I've got a scratch (hideously deep) on the LHS rear quarter, how many idiots backing into my rear bumper in carparks (stripped the paint off in some cases), got two tiny trolley dings too... the worst though? Some bastard has deliberately gotten to my trunklid and scratched the WHOLE thing, seems to be done with fine sandpaper or something...
and I bought the car with two touch up spots... the rest was immaculate... if only I had the chance to confront these [LANGUAGE EDIT] they'd be sent straight to the funeral parlour...
Sorry for venting.
Jose

My rear bumper has been tagged a couple of times as well. I see a complete paint job in my future.

i think the gum is pretty annoying, especially when you are out somewhere and cant clean it off properly... your fingers get sticky and you drive home with crap on your windshield

I know the feeling very well. 2 weeks after purchasing my H2 hummer someone spray painted "SMOG GOD" on my hood and doors.
I had a SC400 that someone hit in a parking lot and left, then 1 week after repairing it someone hit the otherside and left.
My CL55 AMG MB I had someone keyed the driver side down to the metal
on my S55 someone backed into my door and drove off..

Thanks guys, what's been done is done (unfortunately)
Bit,
I live in Australia (Sydney), nice place to live, just don't park your car on the street I guess
Tell me about it... The Soarer was basically immaculate... I was also thinking of selling/trading in the Soarer for a 98/99 GS300 sometime soon but after what happened I couldn't be bothered buying something even more expensive now for fear of jealous cowards... it's very lightly sanded though... the gloss on the trunk is bad compared to the rest of the car (and I'm on original paintwork)... it looks like a respray is on the cards
That's terrible. Where are you? (I wish CL had more options that U.S. or International for country.)

Man, that's crazy to hear someone would take sandpaper to your trunk!. Cowards.......
