I'm thinking it would look better with a chrome trunk bar.

On Tuesday night (4:09am) there was an old late '80s Chevy Caprice creeping through my neighborhood. I had just moved in 2 weeks ago to my friend's house near the OU campus. If you are wondering about the neighborhood, the houses range in the mid 100k dollar ranges and up. The car stopped right next to my car. My girlfriend and I were studying, so I looked out the window. I think they saw me so they drove off. The street that I stay on is a dead end. I decided that if they lived in the neighborhood, they would not turn back around. So I stood there for about 20 seconds, and before long, they came back around. The car was primered gray/black. The weird thing is: it had a spray painted 69on the passenger door. It also had cheap looking aftermarket foglights below the bumper. They drove off so fast I could not get the plates.

Wednesday night (3:50am) I see this white early '90s Pontiac Sunbird hauling *** out my street. I thought that was suspicious, but I could not do anything about it.

My reasoning was: if they wanted my car or wheels, it would take them ~5-10 minutes to accomplish. So I thought if I were awake, I would hear them and call the cops/stop them.

I didn't know someone would shoot it (takes a few seconds)! I think they were trying to shoot out the glass. It is on the pillar between the driverside window and windshield. I think it's from a strong pellet gun. I filled the dent with Loctite liquid metal. Then I sanded it with 400, 600, 800, 1000, 2000. Then I applied some touchup paint. Then waited for it to dry and buffed it with some polish and wax. Here are the pictures.

My mom is driving my car presently. I am driving her 2000 Honda Odyssey! Sorry for the long post.

I had someone jump on the roof of my car before(made a bunch of BIG *** dents, and yes I made him pay for the damage + a little extra...ok no, a whole lot extra ). Other than that, just like 1 or 2 very slight dents around the car from the self roaming shopping carts in the supermarket parking lots.

it's not me, but some guy blew up my friend's old volvo by opening the gas cap, extending a piece of fuse down into the gas tank, and lit it on fire.

he found out who did it and they actually found fingerprints of the guy who did it. He is still in jail IIRC.

while living in florida years ago, the owner of the office building next to ours decided to have his building painted....using paint sprayers....on a windy day (can you smell a huge case of 'dumb---' brewing here?). every car parked on the outer row of our parking lot was covered with overspray.....tiny spots of white paint over my entire car (black). needless to say, the owner of the building next door ended up paying a LOT more than he had anticipated for that job. paint one building + repaint 14 cars = IDIOT!
