Kabooki, I'm sorry to hear...that's just messed up. I had some idiot slam their fist or something on my 04's hood last week, leaving 2 dents. Fortunately they popped out and you have to look closely to see anything now, but it's still the point. A month ago my wife's '96 Accord had 1 hubcap stolen. Why? :dunno: It had been repainted and less than perfect quality, so I don't know why anybody would want it.

Years ago, we had some little vandals hitting cars in our neighborhood once. They were doing something every night, so it wasn't too hard to predict when they'd strike next. The previous night they had dumped dirty motor oil on my cars, so I set up a video camera in my window late the next night and went to bed. The following day, sure enough there they were, caught on tape the same night my neighbor's car got keyed badly. I made a call to the p.d. and they came out and paid a visit to the respective houses of the kids on tape. We never had ANY trouble from them after that. They were underage so they pretty much got off, but it scared the crap out of them. One of the parents made their kid come over and apologize to me and offer to pay to have my car washed. It was the other kid who had instigated all the vandalism, but of course we never got any apology from his family. Bottom line is the stupid parents were letting their 10-12 y.o. kids run the streets at 1:00 a.m. Fortunately they've moved away now...
