crap, i'm always worried about people like that just hating on me.

i've never had a car that created enough envy within another person to vandalize my vehicle (a corolla and a mkIII jetta). i mean, geez.. it's only like 17-19K. go bust some mailboxes or something.

 

Check with your insurance agent before paying this on your own. Most policies cover vandalism under comprehensive, not collision. As such, it usually won't affect your premium like an accident will.

Good luck And try to get a camera out there. Even if its a $20 webcam on your PC setup next to the window. It'd be worth it to catch the punks, especially since it sounds like it may be a recurring issue, not just a random act...

 

dude, I'd move if i were you.

Speaking of haters, I almost got run off the road by a civic today. That, combined with all the other civics that try to race me and all the dirty looks i get from element drivers is really turning me into a honda hater. though i'm sure you all understand.

 

Yea hide the scion's on hollow-ween!!!!!!!

 

umm i'm pretty sure comprehensiv claims will raise the insurance as well

 

good idea, i thought about doing this before, but my web cam sucks. i wonder if i can pay someone to look after my car... sort of like a neighborhood watch but instead of watching the homes... watch out for your cars. lol

 

yeah they keyed everyone on the block . but this isnt the first time they messed with my car. Believer or not since the 2nd incodent my neightbor is renting me out her garage (30 bills a month). I cant put it in mine because my dad 95 impala has seen day light like in 3 years.I already went to that site (touch up paint site) they dont even have my color on there .. LOL . i have a Azure Pearl color. And about the insurance claim. I'm not gonna get them involoved because i know they will try to do something to raise my premium. Its bad enough i pay $236 a month on insurance

 

My old car got vandalized (keyed and such) so I narrowed it down to 2 people who could've done it and shot out all their windows with a BB gun. I'm not 100 percent sure it was them but it made me feel better

 

hahaha!! So you definitely got your revenge on the guy who did it but also shot out some innocent person's windows with a bb gun... could that be excused as "collateral damage"??

 

wow....

i don't think i could ever do that unless i was 100 percent sure it was the one who did it and i had video proof... and yeah.. wow..

 

No wonder they keyed your car.

 

WTF if your dads car is not being used it needs to be put in storage, otherwise put IT on the street and let IT get all the damage. Also I think you might get a discount on insurance if you store it in a garage. Remember... If you can't see your car... no one else should be able too either. KEEP IT IN A GARAGE if not the carnage will surely continue. If you can't use the garage it might be a good idea to move to a place of your own that has a garage. :?

 

sorry to hear & i understand your anger...my xb just got vandalized a second time too. sucks having to laying out my deductible again!!! i just bought a 4 camera color/night vision security system for my house so i can catch the little f--kers if they do it agian. this 2nd time it was done right in front of my house, my poor xb got egged & majorly screwed up my paint!
everyone be careful it's egging season & the haters are out there. 1 damn little egg with some force can do a lot of damage to your paint!!!!

 

Sorry to hear about your car. but you don't really have to scare everyone here but calling your incident a 'Scion-hating' incident. You said they got everyone on the street. None the less, I understand your pain. I am still stressing over my tC. It's my first new car and I just want to make it through the first 6 months without incident.

Here are some small things I do to help prevent theft/vandalism: a) have all my driveway lights on so no one can sneak around my drive without being seen; b) leave the front bedroom light on and blinds semi open so anyone outside won't know if people are up or not. These aren't much but they are better than nothing. I know if I wanted to break into a car I wouldn't choose the driveway that's well lit. As far as vandalsim, those events are usually quick so they may not even care about light.

My garage is a mess right now, but it will be parked in there as soon as things are cleaned up.

 

Hate to hear about your car, that sux!

 

1 grand for keying everywhere isn't that bad. i have these minor paint scratches on my left rear bumper and the dealership quote me $450. my car is only barely 2 months old and it has all these damn battle wounds already. makes me feel a little sad.

 

I don't know about you, but I pay my insurance for a reason...

 

my one friend says he's going to sit next to his xB with a paintball gun on halloween. LOL.

 

tell him to fill the paintball gun with the gobstopers. they fit nicely or just free the paintballs over night

 

But you don't know, so it wouldn't hurt for him to check. My policy is that way, comp covers windshield and any vandalism - no effect on my rates because I'm not at fault..
