People are such a-holes! Reading this just gets me pissed off. Whatever happened to respecting someone else's property?

I parked my 2002 ES300, with not a mark on it, in the underground parking lot of Nordstrom in Montclair Plaza, Montclair, CA, on 9/8/2004, in the handicapped parking slot, and took my dad upstairs for some coffee. When we came down, someone had keyed the hood and down the right fender and both doors. There is a camera on the wall on the other side of the lot which did not capture whoever did it, and there is one right next to where I parked but it only captured the elevator it is focused on. So now I am faced with either paying $2200.00 for the repair or turning it into my insurance company. I guess some kid got a charge out of it..........which, of course, is the important thing!

Did you have handicap tags? Maybe someone got pissed off that you parked in a handicap zone without the proper tags?

That would have pissed my off. Now I have to watch where I park everytime.

Sorry for your situation. But is it costs $2200 to fix the car?
According to way you describe it ; Hood $450 Fender $300 Two doors $775 is all it costs to paint the car.

Thought for the day:
They should make the car alrm in 007 movies legal. So when people try to vandalize you car wil get blow away.

You mean like the one where it shows a person touching Bonds' car, and he got zapped or electrocuted? That'd be insane What movie was that from?

It was Pierce Brosnan just rerun on TV a couple weeks ago. I believe it was a BMW 740i with remote control PDA. Also Roger Moore older 007 Movies a red Ferrari (I think) with explosive alarm one hug hit it and the whole car exploded.

The thing is that it has a backup battery, and multi-piezo sirens inside the car. If they break in the car, their eardrums are going with it. [/B]
HAHAHA yeah same here.. I would love for someone to try to sit in my car and steal my radio.. They will have over 131 db in their face.. And you cant hide that sound at all. It will travel like a mile. It is so loud.. A very good investment. Piezo sirens!!!!!!
