Thought I'd share a story with you guys as im bored at work

. This past Saturday I took our Lexus LS430 to the mall (South Cost Plaza, Costa Mesa) as the boxster had a dead battery. I parked the car AWAY from everyone becuase I am always very cautious regardless of what car im driving. I come back about 3hours later and the entire drivers side of the car was keyed. Front fender all the way to the rear trunk. Up, down, left to right, every way possible.

What kind of sick people do that?

I was soo pissed, went to mall security and watched the security tape. It turns out it was 3 "Kids" age anywhere from 17-23. Call in the local police department and filed a case. According to security those 3 kids had been seen around before.

Hope those bastards get caught.....

For the most part. But this happened in Orange County area. Then again the mall i was at (south coast plaza) is very very upscale place....Go figure

Have you ever heard the sound of an aluminum baseball bat on a kneecap???????/

TriGem - man, you had a bad streak with cars the last few days! Hope things get better fast.

even better - have you seen the MRI of a mangled knee - while you're at it, an acute epidural hematoma with significant brain swelling not only looks pretty cool on MRI, but the ensuing sequelae of devastating neurological events usually renders such wasteful products of society inept to key further vehicles. I'd suspect the aluminum bat would produce such things when coming in contact with one's cranium at high velocity!

Sorry about the Lexus! I cant understand why people do that type of random damage. Hopefully you have filed a comprehensive claim with your insurance carrier. These types of claims dont affect your premiums. Make sure you find a high quality collision center to fix her up!

If you have any claim or body shop questions, let me know I have been in the business over 10 years.

Best of luck!

I guess I am more of an auditory guy but I like your imagery too!

Better yet, have you heard the nuckles sound as they crack against the pavement when hit with a billiar pool wrapped with a towell. They won be able to pick another car in a while.

We will pay out of pocket for the repairs....$3750 isnt that bad, and its much easier than dealin with insurance

Yeah, 17 and up would do that kinda thing. Yes, they will definitely get caught eventually and pay for the damage they did to your car. Hate people like that. Nothing else better thing to do than ruining someones car. Give as an update though why they did it when they get caught.
