Unhappy My poor MINI got keyed! - pictures (on page 3!)

I discovered yesterday that some idiot and disrespectful person (I'm trying not to swear!!) has keyed my car not once, not twice but three times!!! I was so upset!

One scratch is on the drivers side end panel the length of the passenger back window, the other two are on the boot either side of the MINI badge going horizontally across the boot. Luckily they don't look too deep but the marks are so big I don't know if I'm going to have to get it fixed professionally or if polish will help.

Why would someone do that? Because they are so jealous of my car that they have to wreck it??? It makes me so angry!

It was parked outside my friends house so there's no chance of finding out who did it, but if I ever did know who did it then they'd better run!! W*****s!!!!!

You poor thing. I know how this feels. I had my MINI keyed in the summer. I'm very soory to hear about your trouble and hope it gets fixed soon. Mine required a respray because you run your finger down you could feel the paint purled up at the edges. Very bad bad bad people out there. I can't understand it either and thats where the anger comes from. My sister recently had her chequered wing mirrors stolen. Why?

omg thats just awful, what allways springs to my mind sometimes is that its not someone you have fallen out with is it? someone you have upset? maybe not recently but years ago?

awful though, could be jealously as well, which is allways the case. Sc*mbags! so sorry to hear this, i hope it dosent cost you to much, no street cameras near by or people that live in the houses near by see or hear anything?

does it look like a key has scratched it or something else?
