Default Why do some people do it?

Left the car for 5 mins the other night & came out to this! Really does annoy me especially as my car was the only one around so somebody obviously took a disliking to it & decided to key it. Grrrrrrrr

It has to go into a body shop because mobile scratch repairs have already told me that the area is to big for them to do it.

Mine gets kicked every week where I live, I've got about 20 + door dents now on each side....
and it really fuc** me off. I work hard, some times 17 hours a day, 6 days a bloody week for the puny sum I'm paid

so 3 weeks ago I went to every resident in our appartment block and thold them . . .
I will hunt them down, tear their pets apart limb by limb and scare their families to suicide, destroy their homes, their lives, their jobs and ensure they never sleep again...... if any more marks appear on my car...
then added....
One day you will wake up in the dark..... And I will be there waiting !!!!
My voice is lower and deaper than Johnny Cash's and I clock in at 260 lbs and built like a dump truck . . . . so they listened - keenly !!!!

I bloody hate people.....

And having a Special Op's background, they took note..... no more damage for the last 2 weeks !!!
But there's still about £1200 worth of repairs to do........ Bastards..... so I'm not going to fix it until I can get some where to live with my OWN drive way to park in.

So, sympathys dear chap. Some times I wonder if i should just get a cheap Mazda and be done with it !!

Gentlemen,

many would take this opportunity to say something along the lines of: "it's only a car", or "be thankful they were jealous only to the point of damaging an object and not you".

Bu!!*****. Limb from limb is a fitting response. The wife slept on the couch for a ruined wax job and dirtied tyres. That gives you some idea?

Sorry to hear it, lads.

OK, here's the theory.... or so it seems in the UK.

To get any where here, you have to sit on your *** all day songing from the benifit system...
You will be able to affor a fancy 54" TV set, fancy Hi-Fi, satalite tv & wireless broadband so you can sit on your *** longer, dress in designer clothes n shoes and do bog all of any use to society all your life....


I'm stupid, cos I have a job..... THATS JOB..... a scary thought to these bone idle lazy bastards...
so, when some one like US works and scrimps n saves for some thing special and buys a nice motor, these lazy sods get jealous because they cannot get one thru the benifit system.....
so out of idle jealousy, they damage our cars to prove how bloody useless they are....

Can you shoot people for damaging your car in the USA ?
If so, I'm moving there for this alone ha ha.

It occures to me that I should wire the car to the mains power supply and see what happens ?

People don't scratch beautiful cars. They scratch the owner. Making enemies is counter productive. You push, they push back. Look at the Middle East. Some can push back really hard. I fix my own scratches. gary

In the line of work I had in the past . . In the Congo, little ****** trips to Brazil, and varied ops in Afghanistan and Iraq.... Ive grown tired of being pushed & don't accept it any more.

Of course we can shoot these POS's. Getting away with it is the trick. Don't you watch CSI?

My favorite threat (not idle) is "They'll find your body-in 4 different counties. Maybe".

One of these helps:

Merry Mac Chipper/Shredder 249cc Briggs & Stratton OHV engine,

But, it's a bit noisy.

I realize that "it's only a car" but it's my car & nobody has the right to damage what I work hard for in life!
As Grant says, the majority of these vandals are jobless with no future what so ever & when they see something that is beyond their reach, they damage it out of shear spite! Some times we have to take things in our own hands because the justice system here in the UK is bo**ox & the police do not want to no about car vandalism.

Yes you can, but the state might ask you live at one of their facilities for awhile after.

People here in th uk are simply sick of the unemployable......
This shower ride of the back of society and get a good life from it.
Now the workers are learning ..... now if we're stopped for speeding or small offences... we will claim we have no job, a broke family and life of benifits .... then we dont get fined, a pat on the back and thats the end of it.
If you jave a job and an income then you will be fined to the bloody hilt and forced to pay a fortune....
So, crime and jobless doez pay for sure here ......
Great Britain....... this place boils my ****, im ashamed of this country...
And its not Great by any means. we are the laughing stock of the sodding world.....
..
Im joping to move abroad and back to Dubai or Oman again..... at least there, if some one steals from you and gets caught..... they chop their bloody hands off lol

We are not yet a totally socialist nanny state but there are certainly those that would like it to be. Being a worthless turd is a viable lifestyle option paid for by those that are not worthless turds.

Sorry about the ugly scratch. My car has one door ding given to me by my neighbor on the night I brought the car home. It is small and you have to get the right angle on a bright day to see it but it still annoys as it has for over 8 years.

100% Agreed.

And our system here is no better. Really - it's just that many of us are armed (legally) and people know it. Sure you can't LEGALLY shoot someone for scratching your car, but on the other hand, who would **** off a potential "red-neck gun nut"?
