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!

My Box got keyed last summer at a movie theater in an upscale neighborhood.

I feel your pain.

I feel your pain all the way down in Texas. I'd be furious.

I'd also sue the mall and the security company in small claims court for their part in the negligence, even if they say "park at your own risk".

Just the hassle factor of it for these corporations will make them kick butts all the way down the line to be more watchful in the parking areas.

Sorry to hear about this......Jealousy and envy are everywhere unfortunately. My guess is they will catch them if they are known to be around that area, and if they were dumb enough to do that, they'll probably come back to the scene of the crime.....I say sock it to the parents of the kids....Let us know how this all comes out for ya...

Those.. mutha.. f*rs.... Those types of kids really need to pay for all the damages and more. I think I would be happy if someone keyed my car; cuz then I can have my insur company give me a new paint job! However, after that, I wouldn't want anyone to key anything. Sorry to here that; especially from South Coast?! What's up with that?
