Hows this for a **** act. Few weeks ago woke up on sat morning to find some assehole had walked down my driveway and scratched all the panels on my F6 tornado Ute. Would love to get my hands on this weak maggot and smack him around a bit. Could have understood if it was on the road or carpark but in my driveway sux ****. Anyway my whole cars getting a full respray at a cost of 9k and the insaurance company were awseome about it.
Now im getting a new garage and have to lock it up at night because of jealous ford hating bastards. Anyone else had a similar problem????? |

Hope karma catches up with them, the thing to remember is you are still driving a FPV F6 while they are probably catching a bus without a ticket low life scum bags.

Had a mate had his car sprayed with paint by a juvenile with a pressure pack.
He caught him just as he was finishing his handywork. Grabbed the kid and his can and then sprayed the paint all over the kid until the can ran out then kicked him up the you know what. |

It happened to me to dude, but mine was 24hrs within my purchase! I bought the VYII SS and me and my ex went out for dinner the same night to celebrate to find cops hanging around my car. I ran over thinking my ticket may have expired or something but when I got there they said a ticket is the last of my problems!
I almost broke dwn when I saw it! In the same day I picked it up some dirty gromit dog done that! Better I never saw it because I would be 100% locked up for it...

this is what im most worried about. I manage a cinema complex and can imagine me walking out to the carpark at midnight to find my pride and joy keyed or tyres slashed or even worse windows smashed... Local security guards are useless! But have to agree 9x out of 10 its little punk kids who hate fords

it's the lowest act.. mine was done within a month of purchase by some crazed old loon at Lakes Entrance. Lucky the old ScratchX got it right out, however, many other cars in the lot were cut so deep the metal was almost inscribed.
But this was a one off, I agree 99.9% of the time it's a little feral mutt kid between 10 and 18, the type who asks you for money or to buy them goon or smokes. Keepin it dirty is a sure winner (although what car owner should have to neglect to protect), also, if you're a person who needs to park the car in a vulnerable spot for hours on end, see if some cheap hack car is within your budget.. I picked up an EB for $300 and for the cost of Reg and bomb insurance i can do my daily stuff without a care that my FG will be vandalised or get a trolley ding etc.. it's like my little $700 a year bodywork insurance policy

Caught a bloke I used to be friends with keys in his hands, standing right next to my car once.
He came up with some story to cover for it, end of the day, he doesn't drive so I can't see why he would have car keys in his hand. Lucky it didn't have a scratch on it, I must've caught him just before he started. Our friendship had ended somewhat explosively when I told his gf - a friend of mine - that he was a cheating coward. He tried to hit me with a chair, I had an acoustic guitar in hand (not mine, it belonged to the high school I went to back in the day). ...but thats another story.

Back when I was sixteen I was in a bit of a Nirvana rip off Grunge band, the rhythm guitarist was a sixteen year old girl who was friends with me at the time (still is), I was lead guitarist and singer. We were sitting jamming some tunes in our school's back music room with a couple of mates when this bloke (I won't use names) came in accusing me of telling his gf that he cheated on her. He had his big redneck friend on one side and his smaller cronie on the other. I confirmed that I told her, I then told him he was a cowardly cheat - all the time I was talking, I was playing *IIRC* "Fade to Black" by Metallica, which in retrospect is quite funny. He kept saying that he wanted to take it outside, I told him I really didn't want to have to hurt him - I'm not trying to blow smoke up my behind but I'm a big lad and I know how to handle myself. I was sitting on a table with the guitar on my knee, as is the usual position. He picked up a typical school chair; tubular steel frame, plastic seat and backrest. He swung the chair aiming at my head, I blocked the chair with my left hand and swung the neck of the "Valencia" acoustic guitar up into my right hand while holding onto the chair with my left. *I was holding the guitar like a club* "I don't want to have to hurt you," I said, still somehow calm. "Nah, you're a *uses every swear word in existence*, I'm gonna drop you" I laughed at him, which probably wasn't the best way to diffuse the situation. He then kicked out at me, I dropped the guitar and smacked him across the face. My mates (who hadn't backed me up one little bit) stayed silent when I told him to leave and stop being such a muppet. ...I think he may have had had a bit of a sulk about that... after having a bit of a cry The only person that backed me up was the female rhythm guitarist, I'd prefer to fight Chuck Norris than her any day. A couple of weeks after that, my guitar was vandalised at school. He tried to fight me at a house party, I ended up snapping and putting him down after he got violent. I don't like using violence but some people just can't be told. Thats exactly the way it happened, I can't remember the whole conversation but it was much longer than that. I think at some point he insulted my girlfriend (been with her currently since 2009 - which is the year this happened) so that would've been why I gave him a bit of tough love. Anyway, its no super awesome story.

I'd hate to know what I would do if it happens to the EH and I find out who done it. It's my second biggest fear, after it been stolen/burnt.

It is sad, but there are low life ferrels that think it is fun keying cars or slashing tyres. I took my Cobra(pictured in the avatar) for a drive a few weeks ago and pulled to a BP garage for a cup of coffee. I parked the car where I could see it from the inside of the shop. Except for five minutes I kept an eye on the parked car.
The next week at home I noticed a key scratch on the back guard about 75mm long down to the gelcoat. I was not impressed. At christmas time I caught a low life sticking a knife into a tyre of a parked car. I got up him, but not too close as he still had a knife in his hand. He ran off into a crowd and disappeared. |

Its not just Ford haters striking at nice Fords. The scrum bags do it for entertainment. My Dads newish car got Keyed when i was a kid, the losers had keyed every car on that side of the street. They literally walked down the street starting with the first car and the scratch finished on the last car.
Yet you would be in the wrong if you catch them in the act and make a move.

I purchased a two piece motion sensor/alarm from ebay us it has two units each about the size of a smoke packet, the sensor is placed at the front of my house under the roof guttering then you park inside the detection zone. The reciever is taken inside and has an audible signal when activated, certainly gets the adrenalin going when it goes off at night.
Would recomend one of these units when parking outside. |

Not Exactly keying.. but when i got my VE SV6 on the first day, i was really proud of it and it was really clean. i went to the supermarket with a friend. and choosing carparks carefully i parked next to a bloke in a BA/BF XR ute which was also clean (he was sitting in the car at the time reverse parked so our drivers doors were next to each other)
I smiled and nodded at him as i went into the supermarket. i came back, he was gone and he had hocked several loogies all over my drivers door handle and window. was pretty upset. |

I had some flaptard writing the word "DIK" down the drivers' door of the Integra (seriously, with that spelling) with some sharp object when I was at work.
As I was badly bullied at school (which is in the area that my work is located), I've got the feeling that the vandal knew that I was the driver of the car, and pounced on it when I went upstairs to work (work in a major supermarket with public underground parking). Maybe I'm just paranoid.

I had someone go at my old FG with a hammer, then keyed the boot for good measure. It's really sad that people like this exist, you have to wonder what goes through their heads.. not much is my guess.
