I left my the XR8 parked outside my mate's place on Wednesday night, when I came out thursday morning I found this :ticking:
I found an old coach bold on the road next to the car I'd say it was thrown from a car. I had it replaced this morning and they're not particularly cheap and there are still tiny shards of glass everywhere which are a pain in the butt to get out of the carpet. I have no tolerance for vandals, thieves or anyone who doesn't respect other peoples property and the bastards should consider themselves lucky I didn't catch them out: ing_sm :jab: :

Hey THORNS would your insurance cover it or wasn't it enough to worry about? As in by the time you paid the excess it would have been cheaper to just get a new window? |

Just think of it like this. You could walk out a pub and go to your car only to realise it isn't there. That's what happened to me.
A week later you might see it again at a cop shop, only to see a whole heap of damage. That's what happened to me. Not the first time either.

I can feel your pain, right through to my bones. I had the same kinda thing, just mindless vandalism of property for no reason other than they felt like it.
Good thing you got her fixed though, and if i was over your part of the old I'd help you hunt tem down and exact some ironic revenge... |

Man this ****es me off.
I know how you feel mate, a few weeks ago i was driving along at night near my home on the way to a mates place, when i heard a bang... Thought i had hit a bird, felt bad but thought nothing off it, my mate goes whats that on the side of your car? Get out, some ***** had egged my car with enough force to leave a perminant mark (Circular scrached and chipped section from the shell) i was furious, flew back around there, where it had happened, but nobody was around, im still furious about it now... |

thats ******.
you know its 14-16 year old dickheads that did that, cause they dont know what its like to have so much money and effort put into there pride and joy. i live on a highway, and thats exactly why i never park on road. when weve had partys and needed the parking ive left my car in a mates driveway around the corner. no point in trying to find the *******s who did it, just gonna cause more stress. just hope they get caught in the act if they do it again, and get the **** beaten out of them.

P.S. ive had someone break into my old car (eb falcon) via the rear quarter windows.
they must of been after my 6*9s which where secured fairly well, so the only damage was the window. they musnt of seen the screwdriver in the centre console that would of helped them steal the speakers, not to mention the whole car. just proves how smart they are

jesus christ... there is a lot of bad luck going around at the moment in the e-series camp. really sorry to hear that thornspawn, hope everything works out for you in the end.
also as a side note, there is a lot of ****ery going on at the moment. apparently there have been kids going around the northern suburbs of melbourne 'tagging' random peoples cars in their own driveways. As in, spraying graffiti over the cars with pressurised paint cans. I know where my car will be on NYE.

My brother had a converted coach which we put together in Cairns. On the way to Byron Bay as we went under a footbridge near Woodridge in Brisbane, some idiot threw/dropped a rock off it. Hit the left windscreen in the corner, lucky it didnt come through. Almighty noise, scaredthe life out of me and my brother, his wife, and kids, he was only new to driving the large vehicle too. It was a coach which is longer than a bus. We pulled up but no way to get up on the bridge, they scampered anyway when they saw us get out.
Mindless imbeciles. |

Sorry to hear that THORNSPAWN. Have you reported it to the police? just to add stuff to their stats.
This forum should get together bounty hunters and we'll go from there. Trap these kids in the act, catch them and torture them. |

Two weeks after I'd bought an EL Futura (ex govt. 26,000km) I turned off the M1 into Smith St. on the Gold Coast at night and as I went through a cutting a half brick landed in the middle of the bonnet... not a nice feeling.
Footnote. Unfortunately that was the introduction of things to come. Over the next two years; *a huge dead branch fell off a gum tree onto the bonnet as I was driving up the Tamborine road, *a tray top ute backed into the rear guard smashing the tail lamp assembley, *another tray top ute backed over the bonnet in Bundaburg gouging two channels, *a woman backed into the left side in a car park, *a woman in Kingaroy in a Landcruiserwith a tow ball backed into the front bumper destroying the number plate and making a hole in the bumper. Apart from that it was a good car. |

There is no way that people of normal intelligence and even half the required quota of sanity will ever understand this type of individual because they have neither. It is senseless and stupid and we all wish we could catch them in the act.
Cheers Russ

It's sucks how you spend alot of money on your car and can't leave it, without some POS wrecking it. That's why I'm always paranoid when I leave my car somewhere.
Sorry to hear mate. |

Bloody school holidays;
A guy down the road from me is a Autosalon competitor, and has a VL with a $10,000 paintjob, I drove past it on Friday morning and it was covered with eggs and toilet paper... |
