Smashed again!

So less than a month ago I walk outside to go to school and find a smashed drivers side 1/4 panel. Of coarse no note or any information. Got it fixed maybe 2 weeks ago for $1200 (insurance wouldn't cover anything). After getting out of seeing my dad in the hospital today I look down and see my entire drivers side fender smashed. And of coarse again no note or information. All the cars that I parked around were clean. I don't ****ing get it. People are such *******s. We work hard for our money and and don't get any respect for the things we cherish. And talk about a bad 2007 my uncle's house burned right to the ground last week. Anyone have other stories about 2007?

Thats horrible. Any Pictures? If I found out who did it, they better hope I am not holding anything real heavy because they wouldn't be looking to good after I was done with them.

I had somebody back over the nose of my car, trashed the hood and nose, and took off. 2 days later the driver door got it at my work, no note nothing. Last week somebody smashes the window on my Jeep, takes the radio faceplate, destroys the radio trying to get it out of the dash, takes my satellite radio reciever, and jacks all my CD's. I wish I could have caught one of these clowns.

Bummer. I know it sounds like a hassle, but pick a spot where there are no other cars around. It might cost you a minute or two extra time to walk the distance, but it beats payin to get your car fixed again.

Sorry to hear that man. I only had one time were my car was hit nothing bad some old guy was parked in front of my car and tryed to back up and hit my bumper and dented my fender, I was gonna replace the bumper anyway and the dent can be popped out. Thats a nice thing about my car its a beast no one messes with it not worth there time.

yup im so a-custom to the city i grew up in. While visiting some of my gf's family up in the middle of new york. Its a small town about a population of 3000. Never have to roll up windows, lock doors, or anything. Around here...yup **** happens a lot. I personally have not had any problems but ive had finger prints on my windows sometimes. I keep a lot of expensive tools in the back of my truck so im very leary were i park that. My camaro im more worried about door dings, and people hitting my car, its either parked on an end spot or none at all. I dont care how far i have to walk ill let my gf out at the place were going then park and walk over.A lot of times i used to leave my camaro unlocked and just take the faceplate where i go but after some kids went through all of our cars in front of my house i lock my doors.

condolences, man that sucks. I had somone smack the rear quarter on my 86 2.8 once, no note, nothing. luckily it was right on top of a dent I put in the fender, so the slightly bigger dent hid my small dent. Could have been worse. 645$ to fix too... insurance deductable for hit and run is 500. I never got it fixed.

THAT is why I pay for a carport at my appartment complex for my GTA. I don't daily drive it much, only to work where I can see it from the window.

Yup. I always make an effort to park in places wher I feel my car is safe or safer.
