Senseless, no other word to explain it
I was in Darwin yesterday for work and got in this morning at 6am with no sleep. I go inside, get changed and go to unlock my rodeo when i found
someone has keyed it...i didn't get angry or swear or anything of the sort - i just shook my head.
Who does this? i wasn't even in town...rather i've upset someone with my driving and they know where i live or someone just felt like it...if the
former, i still don't understand it, even if i had cut someone off or something, don't key a car, let the tires down or leave a note, but keying!
its just senseless.
This had also happened to my wifes car when it was only 2mnths old. Was parked at wollongong uni and she is not an aggressive driver...someone just
felt like it.
i just thought i'd share my complaint...
Senseless
P.s .down the rear door and rear tray panel...taken with camera phone so not heaps clear...

I had two brand-new Hiluxes keyed outside my house 2 years ago. They were delivered to me so I hadn't even laid eyes on them (I lived in a battle-axe
block at the time), let alone driven them, when they were keyed on Anzac Day 2006.
I was celebrating Anzacs while some low-life keyed two vehicles I borrowed
Karma will katch up with them...

people just do it because they can, dark cars seem to be more susceptible because it shows up more, our kombi parked out the front of our place was
keyed right round, that is full length of both sides & across tailgate - at least the smashed back window caused by a beer bottle throwwn from a
moving car a few years ago was easily fixed
Please, I need drivers side window regulator (winder mechanism) for my '54  |

Just senseless idiots...
they seem to deep to fix with a polish or buffing etc...
it may seen small to whoever done it
but it wrecks the cars total paint job...
I think fingers chopped off May fix the problem?
Next thing We won't be able to buy a metal key
unless you are over 18 Years old...
that hasn't stopped the spray painters
there is probably no one on here that knows why they do it
as they maybe don't have a car... ??
Senseless vandalism
Sorry to see it

At least you can hate the perpetrators. I have a friend whos 5 yr old son went to work all over their tarago with a rock he had picked up in the
carpark. Just because he was bored waiting. The kid is still alive, not sure how.

Little f***tards with nothing better to do
My mate's brother years ago had a Gemini showcar, with full graphics down each side. On the road a few weeks and it gets keyed. 6 months and a full
respray later, and it gets keyed after being a few weeks back on the road. It was sold shortly after

This is bad of course but I had even worse done to my car and I also wasn't even in the country. Some low life f%$#et went aound the car with a
drill. Drilled a hole in the engine block, 3 on the side of the car and one in the fuel tank. Just could not think why and who would do that. The car
was towed from the panel beater to home and my sister argued with the towie about dropping the car on the street not the driveway. Must have been him
who did it but I had no proof. Cost me lots of $$ to fix let a alone the stress

Hey Reubs, i looked out for your car but didn't spot it. Noticed a few stockers about.
I was dreaming on my way around Darwin that i would spot from the corner of my eye an early split kombi and that it would be in perfect condition and
all i'd have to offer was $500... dreams are nice....
Just to clarify, i was in Darwin and my vehicle was at home in Sydney. Had a rental for Darwin - needed to kill some time (flight times are odd) so i
drove to the Katherine Gorge - was nice...
