Its terrible that he touched your car and left a hand print, but it could have been worse. Bigger issue was why he was lurking around your car. Was he just checking the car out to admire it or checking it out to see what he could steal (hopefully not). Only reason I say this, is because he left without saying a word to you when he saw you come up, which is a little weird.

Nice looking IS btw.

I also don't see the need to slam him because he has smoked lenses.

Lighten up Francis.
he did a circle around my car then crouched down by the front passenger side door which is where the hand print is. After getting up he saw me approaching the car ans walk away. Nothings wrong w admiring Ppls cars. U simply just don't touch period.

Thanks initial g and u know what that did cross my mind but i wasn't gonna accuse him of that the only thing I wanted to point out was the lack of disrespect between two car enthusiasts which some members reading this don't seem to understand. Once again its ok to admire someone else's car, damage or no damage don't touch other Ppls cars period

eh.. I wasnt gonna get all hostile over nothing, like I said there was no damage and I didn't even notice his hand print til I got home and into my garage. Only reason why I posted this thread was to point out the lack of respect between car enthusiasts but few that responded don't seem to get that.

I understand I most certainly do the same, it's either 1st two spaces or way in the back. If people would respect other peoples property I wouldn't take those actions, but since they don't. I park away from them.

Note: That guy was more than likely trying to see if the LFA wheels were legit, hope you have locks on them. He wont forget your car.

yep i have wheel locks on. My car is garaged so even if he remembered my plates to see where I live he won't be able to get to the car. But yea unfortunately he won't forget my car. I'm pretty sure I am the only one with a molded wald spoiler and raised quarters with lfa reps in ohio lol

Nice IS RDIS250!

But why was the hand print on there? Was it like he was looking into the car? I'm just wondering why someone would put a hand print on the car. Even to look into a dark window, there's no need to touch it when you're blocking out the sun. Strange....

I agree there should be a level of respect between car enthusiasts, in an ideal world. But unfortunately we do not. What we expect and what actually happens are often two different things.
