OH YES! Driver side door was keyed with F**K YOU. Open soda bottle was thrown at it. All this while in high school. Nothing since though.

Do you have pics of your in-dash Nav?
I'm thinking about getting one of these...

I answered the poll with a yes because someone spit their gum into the driver's side of my car a year or so ago. Fortunately, it hit the floormat and not the seat.

No damage (touch wood!) on the Boxster on Northern California but when I lived in the Hove in the UK I had the following done to my cars:
Mazda Mx-5:
Roof slashed
All windows keyed
Wrapped bag of chips left inside (still warm but too much salt!)
Two onion bargie’s thrown inside (didn’t find one for 2 days!),
Lit cigarette thrown on to the seat
Aerial bent over more times than I can remember!
Classic MGB Roadster
Bonnet and boot caved-in when somebody ran over the car
MG Midget
Bonnet caved in when they jumped on it!
A sad line up over the course of 10 years AND I lived in good areas but they were busy thoroughfares with lots of late-night (drunken) foot traffic. That’s the biggest problem which could only be avoided if the cars were off the street but all the areas were Victorian buildings so no garages around …essentially, it’s just pure luck whether or not you fall foul of these mindless, jealous idiots ….

Color a factor??
I have this theory, with absolutely no evidence to back it up, that cars of a certain color may be more vulnerable to this kind of attack than others. (Those colors that, shall we say, may be perceived as being more ostentatious, the Guards Reds, Speed Yellows, etc.) I wonder if it happens to be true or not. So, here’s my question: Of those (currently 20% or so) Porsche owners that have had their cars vandalized, what color was the car??

Where I live no one would ever vandalize it. Never, never, never. It is just unthinkable.
