Kids scratched my Cad.
 

For craps sake! Newer seville will white peril paint and the srcatched from the rear door all the way to the bumber! Of course non of the kids playing around the car saw anything. Got the estimate to fix the paint, 1150.00 US. Covered but have to pay 500 bucks for the deductable... I'm so mad. Soon as I get home from Internex we are putting up a fence!

What would you do?

What can you do but pay the $500. It could of happen anywhere. Kids are kids suck it up.

LOL I am! but it still pisses me off. They are over a block away from there home, Not parents around EVER, and the oldest is 5. We and other neighbors have gone to talk to the parents before about letting there kids run at that age by themselves but no good. The Parents are a bunch of crack heads and could care less.

Used to be a great neighborhood, then the Erbenbecks (the people who own the property and rent it out) fucked up and the properties have gone to shit.

While in FLA we are shopping for a house. Something will a little privacy etc. Can't wait.

:glugglug

At least it was not a deer.....

people who key other peoples cars deserve to get thier face keyed

Build a garage.

bummer

I got a nice handle bar mark down both of the left side doors on my ride.

I don't think I'll get any monetary compensation from my 5 yr old though.

:(

Its part of the cost of ownership of having a nice car.. deal with it. :2 cents:

Thats sucks bro. Pearl paint is not cheap and not easy to repair and color match.

thats why u have a german shep in the yard, kids will stay away trust me

Ooh I f*cking HATE trash like that. Had the same problem in my neighborhood a while back. A bunch of dumbass kids were terrorizing the neighborhood and the mom didn't give 2 shits. I mean we caught these kids trying to climb up the basketball court in our driveway! Had to take it down quick. They also stole another kid's bike and did some major property damage to other houses. After all the complaints they were finally forced to move - thank God! :feels-hot

put up a $50 or $100 reward. kids will rat their friends out in a heartbeat.

I agree put up a reward and then it will be paid for by the parents and then that kids wont come near your stuff again...

Kids have a hard time understanding the concept of nice cars, money and pride. WHen kids do this shit, they're not realizing whats going on.

What's the solution? Enclose your house in a bubble and shock every strange kid that comes near it!

As mentioned build a garage and keep your car safe! :thumbsup

LOL!

Thing is I have a nice 2 car garage, that's currently being taken over by a prostreet pickup being rebuit. SOOO cad and other cars have to sit outside. :(

That sucks, sorry to hear. Those darn haters :mad:

I never understood why people scratch cars... what kind of sick pleasure does that give a person?

dam thats sad man, punishing someones car IS easily one of the lowest things you could ever do.

nothing much u can do, im not sure if you are into automotive computers but i have a few friends who put a timed cam into their car, and turns on based on how close someone is to the car. my friend actually busted one kid.

but to little to late, sorry to hear that though :(

Yeah, right. Just try and get some kid's parents to pay for your paint job based on the word of other kids.

Future reference, get one of those car covers. They prevent many scratches.

What do you want to do? Sue the kids? Their parents?

An old friend told me this, I've found it very true:

"Never fall in love with a car, it will break your heart every time."

set one on fire
the others wont mess with you again

make all of the kids around the cars parents pay the 500 deductible

In the US you may sue the kid in small claims. It goes on the kids credit report and remains there well past when they turn 18. The courts view is parents will more often than not pay it so that their kid does not start life with negative credit.
