Some misunderstood individual keyed my car

So angry right now, and thought I'd vent on here.

So I went to the local supermarket, spent all of 15 minutes in there and I come back to a nasty key scrape right across my boot, under the mistubishi logo.

Really want to smash something.
I haven't even had the car for a month!

Serves me right for living in Cranbourne I suppose.

firstly, violence doesnt solve anything and smashing something will probably end up with you at the doctors and a couple of broken knuckles lol

2nd - been a lot of Key'ing going on lately on Lancers :( always sad to hear about it

It's a bit tongue in cheek hey?

Well I might know someone who can fix hair line scratches. He did a family member's car a while ago and The results were good.
It's just a pain in the... Ummm... Sorry won't swear.

Due to there being so many haters out there, Ive actually put 2 camera's in my car which start filming if they detect movement near the vehicle.

And violence solves everything :) Because thats just the route I would take if ever confronted the perpetrator. Cops don't give a crap about vandalism cases.

Hope you get your car sorted.

Sorry to hear what happened to you and I can unfortunately say I know how you feel.

Psytrix, may I ask what kind of cameras you installed.

I'm dead scared of this as I've heard about a lot of incidents with keying..Hope this doesn't replace other youthful rebellious trends such as graphing/taggin!

That's really sad to hear. Talk about haters, what for I say? Are they just brainless youths with nothing else to do? Or is it merely a driver who owns another brand who just hates lancers?

Must have been a Bogandore owner who unexpectedly got beaten by a VRX with discreet turbo and two more driven wheels. What a lowlife prowling about those who just want peace and quiet. One day, the Maker will just give him one, and I hope that day will be today.

So you're saying... use a bat? I see what you did there!

I also want to hear more about these cameras.

Sorry to continue the thread derailment - search for 'car dash cam dvr' on eBay. I can't link due to being on my phone currently. I have a cheapie ~$40 unit that records to SD card. Setup to turn on/off with ignition but it can also do auto on by motion detection. Very useful for such incidents and traffic accidents. There are more expensive models that record speed via GPS, just like the police dash cam. Blackvue

Sorry to hear mate that's a real bummer.

There's been people having their cars set on fire and other cases with all 4 tyres being slashed.
