So my car got keyed....

dhan · 02-21-2011, 03:21 AM

Anyone know of any reputable body work specialists in Orange County?

I've had my new '11 TiAg E92 for about a month now and so far I've had a hit-and-run incident in a parking lot, which scuffed up and dinged my left rear fender, and today I discovered that the entire right side my car had been keyed (or knifed).

Just over a month ago (literally a week before I bought the new one), I had to replace a sheared off side mirror whom someone had the pleasure of knocking off on a side street....anonymously. This was on my '08 AW E92 which I had to turn in at the end of my lease term.

I haven't even made my first car payment and now I have to deal with this.

So confused.

Sounds to me, all of them seem intentional.

BreakPoint · 02-21-2011, 06:35 AM

What type of neighborhood do you park in? Sounds intentional for sure. My opnion...move!

alex2112 · 02-21-2011, 06:57 AM

I agree with the previous posts, it seems intentional. That's a lot of stuff to have happen to your car "randomly" in such a short period of time. Do you have any enemies? Jealous and immature friends? Psychotic ex's?

Brian135i · 02-21-2011, 08:00 AM

+1 seems intentional.

this reminds me of the movie friday, at leas its not a brick through the windshield everytime!

+100. They're like $50, do it now.

even a dummy cam will provide a good deterrent!

Badperfection · 02-21-2011, 10:46 AM

People are HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be careful and whenever you park anywhere (mall/super market) park far away from everyone. People do not give two SH#TS about our cars... its ashame. Sorry OP for what happend... GL

hipnotic · 02-21-2011, 02:01 PM

sorry to hear about this.

ADV.1 Matt · 02-21-2011, 03:18 PM

That sucks man. Any possibility of off-street parking near you? Maybe someone willing to rent out a garage?

Zechariaha · 02-21-2011, 03:21 PM

i have connects for body ork in OC pm me if u want

dhan · 02-21-2011, 04:04 PM

I can assure you that they're not connected because each incident happened in 3 different cities: Cerritos, Walnut, & Newport. Not shady areas by any means. Just bad, indecent drivers + 1 maniac. It sucks because I have always made a conscious decision to park as far away as possible to avoid something like this.

BMXtreme · 02-21-2011, 05:02 PM

Someone's tailing you.

ciomas · 02-21-2011, 06:41 PM

sorry to hear that. feel your pain - had the exact same things happen to my car within the first two months of owning it... :/

utfenix335i · 02-21-2011, 06:46 PM

Dude... I totally feel your pain. Within the first month of getting my car, I was in a car accident and someone drew a very detailed picture of a c***, balls and stuff included... into my passenger door. Cost me $500 to fix it.

Nothing you can do but take care of it. A lot of haters out there.

peeej · 02-22-2011, 02:24 AM

bro i'm in the same boat. walked to my car only to find my car keyed as well. i was soo upset although it wouldnt help get the scratches out. only thing for me was to take a deep breathe and just accept it.

wish they'd actually come do that when i'm there. it would definitely go down!

sorry to hear about your ride though! curse those people who envy our rides!!!

Sheesh.

Sorry OP.. you gotta be careful and aware. Who knows why people do the things they do.

doggiedog · 02-22-2011, 03:44 PM

To me, it's worth it to park an extra 20 steps or more away from other cars or people bc guys that will mess with your car are usually too lazy to walk those extra 20 steps.
