My car is parked away from my house about 30m away as i have a green infront of my house and since I have resprayed it and its looking great some low life has keyed it on the top of the rear quarter. 1st time ok some gelous low life I had the paint so filled the deep scratch with paint flatted back and mopped which got rid of it didnt think much of it sh!t happens 2nd time is worse and in the same place abut also down on the main quarter I hve filled the scratches again andwill flat back and respray the hole quarter again I have just bought a cctv for my house that has ir camareas that can reach 40m so would catch the person if they donit again But for now I have put the car in my front garden but cant really leave it there permanently This has happened twice now in 2 weeks Thing is what can I do?

girth45 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Any chance you can rent a garage locally? Or park it at a friends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Connect it to a lamp post. That'll give 'em a shock. Seriously though, short of camping out, catching them and knocking seven shades out of 'em, you can only really take the car away from the situation. My neighbours have all been warned (since I had all the dents removed at JAE...) that if I find any more marks on my car, I'll be checking my covert CCTV and their cars will be going up in flames.

mellonman Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 The garages round my way are ridiculously small I think they would struggle to fit a supra in , but I will ask the neighbours to see if they want to sell one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Say they do it again and I catch them , I know I would get out of hand and go absolutely ape and primeval on them, Once , twice but three times thats personal , I would end up doing time for it I would I be best to catch them and then do onto them what they done to me, or just call the police with the tape I know what I would rather but I think I have to be clever to save the car getting done worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phlukey Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Jealous a holes! I've rented another garage for mine, as the one at the house has got my bikes in (need power for optimate chargers). I'd do the same if you can. It's the only way you can really try and keep it out of harm and the weathers way. Whereabouts in Kent are you?. You're welcome to stick it in my rented garage while my Supra is at SRD if you're not using it daily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I may have a NA but I detest little arses that do stuff like that. Hope you resolve this swiftly one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phlukey Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 No worries mate, you're a bit far out from me then really. I'm in Ashford. Would be a bit of a pig to have to travel that distance every weekend just to use your Sup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I know how you feel, came back from holiday to find some kids sitting on my front bumper then bouncing on the headlight with his ass. Pretty much went over and told his dad that if it happens again then I will be pulling him out of the house and kicking him straight in the forehead.

Phlukey Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Depends if it's council or private and where it is really. Mines a private rent in a nice area and I pay £70 per month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 If you are touching someones car, you may as well be poking their wife, mother and daughter at the same time. There is nothing that would lead to a sensible reaction if I caught someone near my car. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 At least the CCTV capture could make sure you know who the culprit is, I'd maybe add a zone sensor so the alarms goes off if they get near. Once you find out who it is then it is a case of cat & mouse. Follow them home, stake out (you need donuts). Walk past his house just as his getting out, give him a quick look & carry on walking... Leave dead animals like rats hanging outside his window..... Red paint. Do this randomly, basically everytime you remember say in a few months. This will mentally make him/her go crazy... Then walk straight up to him one day & say, "Do you want to play a game?" (Make sure you are wearing the mask from the saw film). You'll most likely get arrested but hey ho your kids will understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_ufo Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 How often do you drive it? maybe a car cover? I am sure they sell a car cam that works when the car is turned off (would imagine it would drain the battery after a while) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly wouldn't be seen for a while, and it wouldn't be the first time! I feel for you dude, I just hope that's the end of it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Maybe a different...possibly useless solution - car cover? Whoever it is would find it unneccesarily hard to remove said cover, especially if its one of those snug fit ones to try and key it? Just a temp solution maybe Really do feel your pain, ive had mine keyed twice, one deep one back to metal along the door and one massive long one on the rear quarter panel - pretty sure one was done on my own driveway too. Im now afraid to make it look good, atleast that's my excuse anyway Always some jealous pr*ck/s around!
