Default vandalism

My s2000 just got vandalized for the 6th time since I bought it the last week of march. Same group of kids every time. Im now up to 9500 in total damage. The officer told me to stop driving nice cars. i guess I should let the punks win. I may have to get rid of my car. The tops been slashed 3 time already. I have a court date for one of the incidents right now but I can only take them to court if I saw them do it.
I want to blow my brains out.(im not going to, but I want to)

get a cheap video camera and point it at your car (if you can)

Can you park it where you can see if from your residence?

I knew someone would say to move and I am sure you have thought of that at least 6 times. When I needed additional garage space, I searched the neighborhood and put in a request in a local homeowners newsletter. Turns out there are many two car garages with only one car in it, usually an elderly couple. You might have to walk a block or so but your S2K is protected and a little excercise never hurt anyone. Strike the right deal and you have the protection of a garage and they have some non-taxable income. Win-Win situation !

That sucks man.......I know the most logical thing is to hide in the trunk with a bat and when they come around jump out screaming like a drunk banshee and play Wack-A-Punk till either you win or they have call 911 because their legs have been broken. You can also put a camera inside that is motion sensored and when they come aournd it will record it. This would also work on the outside.


As for the cop who made that ingnorant comment about you shouldn't drive a nice car, you should vandalize his patrol car and then tell him he shouldn't drive a stupid police car!!!
