Just a month ago someone thought it would be funny to jump up and down on my front hood.  estimated cost...$1800. I'm waiting for winter to be over before I actually replace it.

Might be an opportunity to...
upgrade to some CF mirrors! But seriously that sucks, I've come out to find a big globs of flegm on my hood a couple of times. Makes me wish I was walking to my car when it happened and call the cops on the bastards. Some people are just jealous A-holes. Good luck with the repairs!

I'm sure there are exceptions, but that is one nice thing about Los Angeles...there are many pricier and more eye catching rides on the streets that my little dark Boxster hardly gets a second glance, let alone a target of vandalism.
BTW, is it just me or does it seem a lot of bad stories here come from Chicago?

My friend's boxster was beaten with a bat (windows, doors, hood). Several cars in the neighborhood received similar abuse. The good news is that a cop saw some teens a few blocks away, strolling down the street with a... baseball bat! This particular baseball bat had guards red embedded in it. More proof that mean and dumb are closely related.
The other good news is that insurance covered it and the car came back from the shop looking perfect.

Ive called the cops on people before messing with my car. Nothing happens though, just tell them that they will get banned from where ever they were or some stupid crap like that. Ive thought about buying a wireless camera to keep in the car. The camera itself it like a small spy camera and it hooks up to a dvr or something. I estimate itd cost me a couple hundred bucks for cameras (2 or 3) and a couple hundred for the dvr. Just keep them on the dash and itd catch anybody walking by or messing with the car. Maybe when I dont have anything to do with my money, lol.

One day a local prepaid-girl wanted me to take her for a drive. I told her that no one rides for free. The next day I found a big piece of bubble gum stuck on my fender. I am pretty sure I can connect the dots.
That being said, I think people causing damage to other's property is largely a North American phenomena. When I lived in Canada I had my car keyed more than once but I do not see the same attitude here. But if someone did key a car here it could have much more serious ramifications than in Canada especially if the car was owned by the wrong person.

While it may not make you feel much better...
It was 1996. I was driving a 10 year old VW Golf. Parked it outside my office building. Was working overnight. Came out the next morning.. Front fender, two doors and the rear fender on the right side.. each panel had the same, size 11 Timberland workboot imprint and an accompanying dent. 4 panels smashed on a 10yr old vw. WTF!
Sorry to hear about your mirror.

The people who do this are pathetic losers who have failed in life. When they see a nice car they become jealous since they too cannot own a nice car largely because they are lazy and/or stupid. They think by damaging someone else's property they will make that person unhappy for a period of time which brings some sort of happiness to their own insignificant existence. What they cannot measure up to they want to destroy. The same type of person I am sure sees nothing wrong with accepting welfare. They are the parasites of the world and should be treated accordingly.

If you don't try to prevent things like this from happening and when it happens, you shouldn't be upset because you knew this would happen somewhere in the back of your mind. it's a gamble to leave a convertible open or where people cannot see it at all times. you are inviting the person to vandiaize your car. I always try to park where it's by the front door or cover the car if it's far away. Every lesson has a price, at least this one was a cheap one. There are people out there that get satisfaction from pissing off others, you just happen to meet one on your outing.

sence were on this topic, I got my boxster 4 months a go . 1 week after I get it I go out to fined 3 deep scratches one on the front fender door and rear. all almost to the metal. so i need a new paint job. I have some nice pics of them, ones 3 feet long the other 2 are half a foot and a foot. people are haters.
lol also I was at work and some guy comes in and asks me if i own the boxster, "yes i do" he goes HAHAHA THATS A CHICKS CAR YOU HAVE A CHICK CAR" so I say why is it a chicks car. "UHH WELL I dono.... back home alot of chicks drive them" so I asked him what type of car he had " UHH I dont have one" so I laughed in his face and walked away.
ps: the scratches inpart my falt. I leave it out on the side of the road and I take it to school every day.

Well, technically.....um.....yes.
But think of it more like a university student who needs money to buy some books.
