I live in Brooklyn also and like you said, you get the bumper scrapes or scratchs from people sitting or leaning on your car. But you have someone after your ride.

Default Update! I found a driveway

Hey guys, yesterday I decided to make an ad and I printed out 50 copies stating who I am and that I was looking for a spot. Walked around a one block radius and put in the mailbox. Two hours later someone calls and now I have a parking spot across the street from my place, less than a minute walk from my door. I think my viper car starter still starts which is great too.

Monthly cost: $150 - Private gated outside driveway.

I figured I'll just have to cut down on drinking and other miscellaneous expense. The sad part is that my garage cost more than car issurance per month.

Hopefully I will have no further damage done to my car. Next question is should I get another roof spoiler

I remember your problems that you had posted before. Unfortunately, someone is targeting you, and you only have a few options. 1) Catch them and press charges, 2) Park in a garage 3) Move if you can. Honestly I don't see a stop to the vandalism unless you are proactive about it, as it isn't going to go away (unless the person doing it moves far away). I have a friend where every car he owns gets key'ed. Sorry to hear about your continued problems man.

Hey BklynJay,
I feel your pain. Last Thursday a truck backed into my gs ripped out the fender and bumper and doing damage to the car. Sunday, someone side-swiped the entire side of the rental car that I just got.

Not a single leaf nor branch. What I'm excited about is to see if there is a hose available. Probably pushing my luck.

Parking Cost = $150/month
Peace of Mind = Priceless

Now, if your car gets vandalized again, put a camera on it. The pleasure you will get when you catch that person slippin will be worth the time and money (whether you press charges or do what I would do ).
