I wonder what the story behind this is? That car in on Oahu/Hawaii and in the State Farm insurance bay. I've been to that very claims office myself

If he acts quickly enough, it can be removed before it dries onto the paintwork! That sucks! Seems to be "the" thing to do to somebody's car all over the world.

Question A Neighbor?

Who says it was a neighbor? This looks more to me like just a bunch of bored, spoiled kids who first need a couple of whips across their bare a - - es and then need to get a life and do more constructive things with their time.

Oh, it's a State Farm Claims office......I thought it might have been vandalized because the owner parked taking up two spots.

Well, at least they didn't do what "BMW" stands for ...."Break My Windows" j/k

The vandals need to be found and punished!!!!

you live in the Charter apartments? I lived there last year. It felt pretty safe to me too.

Truthfully, the insurance company didn't even need to be involved. The spray paint was over clear coat and any good detailer could remove and rebuff for a hundred bucks or so.

It sucks seeing someone's car vandalized If you have a beef with someone, bring it up with them, not their car.

Wife told me that one day a person took two stalls at a parking lot at a CSUF one morning. When she left to go home about 2 hours later the car had been keyed, dented. It is sad.

These days many are easily triggered toward violence and aggression. Even something trivial can become deadly depending on the mental state of the individuals. In this instance, it was property damage...if you had confronted the person/s responsible, there is no telling what the outcome could have been. While this is maddening and a PITA, the parties walked away and you'll live another day...hopefully without harboring some sort of aggression to be passed onto another at some point. Many of us won't see the justice form some individual's act toward us but time catches up. Those who cause harm get their due. (I had a story prepared but I'll suffice to say the young boy didn't live to see his 17'th B-day because he was initiated by a 7.62 MM round to the chest.)

As you get older, you'll see people close to you leave this world. As much as someone has ticked you, keep in mind that your decision just may have significant impact on a persons life. What you elect to do, imagine if the situation were reversed, would you want someone who you may have unintentionally cut-off to reciprocate with a 9mm.

Preachy mode off.

maybe he wanted a new paint job and did it himself to file an insurance claim.
