What some f****r did to my car

alexmcred

Would love to find him/her €625 to put right again. What joy can people possibly get out of this???? Car is 08 Golf GT sport.

Jeez hard luck mate. Nice motor too. Id say you'd like 15 mins with the culprit. Its a very low cowardly act motivated by jealousy imo.

€625 seems very expensive. Saying that, I cant see how deep it is in the photo. Where did it happen?

Presumably a Green party supporter! Some really are that bad that they will attack cars in this way. We had one nutter in the area that believed it was its right to scrape modest cars to show its disgust at people exercising their choice in transport. I use the word "it" correctly in this case.

Or more likely it's the way society has gone, when I was young I was thought to respect other peoples property and if there was something that was out of reach to aspire to work hard to achieve it.

I did that and havn't looked back;)

Unfortunately the consumerist society we have is all about grasping and odious displays of wealth that leave the underclass with a major resentment of anyone elses property so they would rather destroy it than try to get it by honest means.

Highlights the total lack of effective policing

Hopefully the scumbag will get whats coming to him/her/it a.s.a.p

Was not able to park in my estate due to road works and had to park on a road/estate. Car was only there 2hrs. €625 is for the full door to be resprayed. It is fairly deep gone down to metal in two spots.

Car battery with jumper leads and attaching it to various parts of their bodies comes to mind

Agreed.

Sorry to hear that alexmcred, cowardly, selfish thing to do. Had a few lads who keyed my old car too, I was raging mad after it.

Sorry about that mate.

Had the same done to my car a few years ago:mad: i feel for you..hopefully they'll get theirs someday.

I drive a 95 Corsa and it was in a bad state when I bought it. Someone poured battery acid on the bonnet so the paint was stripped (or melted). I'm only a student and needed a car to learn in so I wasn't worried about the bonnet. Anyway at the weekend a guy gave out to me that I was parked too close to his car. I politely pointed out that he was parked over the white line so it was his fault I was so close to him. When I came back to my car later someone had scratched and dented all 4 doors of my car. I can only assume it was him. I don't know what he thought he would acheive as firstly, he was in the wrong and secondly, there's no paint on my bonnet but it just goes to show that some people are really pathetic. The scratches and dents also look like they were done with a car down so he must have damaged his car door in the process so the mind boggles. This guy was in his late 40's or so by the way, so you'd think he'd have some sense.

Son of a *****.

Things like that grind my ****.

I'm so glad I'm driving an old, cheap car, cause something like that would completely devastate me, and I'd never be able to love that car again, cause everytime I'd remember that scratch.

What kind of a vile, scum does this? no, really, you see a beautiful mint car, that's taken care off, what the **** makes you go near it and scratch it?

Some wanker crumpled the rear drivers side quarter panel on the missus Scenic a couple of weeks ago. Only evidence was some blue paint. *****.

Unlucky, i dont supose anyone around saw who did it like neighbours or that? even they did some job to catch them as well.

Jimbo

What a sickener. The guy is obviously a loser who has no valuable posessions of his own or he would not have done that. Unfortunatly people like that are everywhere, there's nothing much you can do but look down on them.

:eek: It's not liked they raped the car, you know.

givyjoe81

You'd be surprised the people who actually do this, some oul lad round our way was scratching cars for ages, for no good reason too other than he'd completely lost the plot, got caught and made to pay for all or at least some of the damaged cars.

Anywho, you say it was in an estate? So prob the person who lives closest to your chosen parking spot, partic as it was done so quickly. If you had the time or the inclination you could park there again, perhaps using a diff car, or your own again to bait them, then stake out and.... boom, pounce on em when they come sniffing. Perhaps a bit too much effort but be worth it to catch the fooker..

alexmcred

There were sh*t loads of other cars around and so the c**t had plenty to choose from. I was well away from any drive way openings as well. Think its as most people have said just some random f**ker. My wife was saying there was another car she heard of being damaged pity she failed to tell me this before I parked my car over there.

JoeA3

Hard luck... scumbags whoever it was!

I'd imagine it ain't as simple as just painting the affected door, they'll also need to blend into the adjoining panels a bit to ensure a colour match... hence the €625. Worth getting someone who comes recommended to do the job, as a bad paint job can look as bad if not worse than the original damage.

kippy

Tough luck man,
Sadly there's jack **** one can do about this sort of thing and its all to common nowadays.

Thank fcuk I have a heap of sh1t 00 Focus that I dont really give too much of a damn about.
It's stuff like this that stops me from buying a more expensive car to be honest.

May I remind some of you of this section of the charter

NO (or at least as little as possible) swearing – the stars are there for a reason you know!.

notahappycamper

I think some form of torture like what happened in that film "Hostel" is what's called for. Unfortunately as is the case with some p&*k who does this sort of thing, you are never there to catch them in the act!

I got a scrape (not as bad mind you) and it cost me €500 odd to fix as they have to go right down to the metal and build it back up again - the whole door had to be done!

Some vindictive little begrudering cunnt.

jon1981

would nearly put you off owning a nice car, i see this sort of thing too often

golfpaul

Sorry to see that OP. Absolute scumbag, jeezzz that really boils my blood. What is it exactly they get out of doing something like that?

miju

out of curiousity this wouldn't have been parked around the finglas / charlestown area would it?

Argh ... yeh thats a pain in the ass !

Same thing happened to me, was parked in the shared parking in our apartment block, some chick pulled out so i pulled into the space, i went across to the shop and she came back about 5 minutes later, was sitting there looking at my car in the space (its a shared parking ground) I came back downstairs and saw a scratch from ass to front all the way down the side of mine. Went over to her banged up fiesta and looked in the window, screwdriver on the passenger seat with paint flecks from my car all over the seat and screwdriver.

I went ballistic, moved the car into another space just incase she went back to do it again, walked into town, came back and the b*tch had done the other side too ! So, i was going to go and buy a pick axe and create a nice few holes, or was going to go down the motor factors and buy a bottle of brake fluid to give her car a nice shower, g/f convinced me it was a bad idea.

Went to the cops he came out and looked at the damage, agreed that she was a b*tch. Basically said he could do nothing unless i, or someone else saw her do it.

So i printed up a ton of fliers offering 100 euros reward for anyone with information about it, put them in all the surrounding apartments and businesses + houses on the street. Got a call from this woman ... sounded a bit suss, then got a call from the same number claiming to be a different person saying she saw a van do it ? Realised it must be her, so when she rang back again, i chanced my arm and said i couldnt give the reward as we had cctv footage of a person owning a blue fiesta damaging the car with a screwdriver and that the gardai were going to contact them and the management company.

She just went quiet and hung up.

Contacted the management company and let them know.

A few weeks after that she started parking her car well far away from the block and then she eventually moved off, everyone knew it was her and the management company kicked her out of her apartment.

Found out a few weeks later she'd done it to a few other cars to, including a lovely Jag E type

Still didnt get me my car fixed but did at least get rid of the b*tch

The garage I got the quote from is the one in town that all the insurance companies recommend. The fact that the car is only 3 months old is the main reason I would look at going with that quote. I don't really want to get it done cheaply in case it’s not up to the same standard.

You listened to your girlfriend before exacting revenge on that woman???



Not that I condone in any way the spraying of brake fluid on said car

Yeh, i just would have regretted it afterwards ... i'd be as bad as she was and what if i'd made a mistake and did it to the wrong one ?
