Default What Have Haters Done To Your Car?

Saw a similar thread on another forum and wanted to bring it here. I have read about people getting mirror caps and other parts stolen, dings, and things poured on cars. Has anyone had any similar things happen? If so what was it?

In my 3 years of ownership, all the haters had ever done was look at it

My s2000 someone tried to break in and failed they tore the top trying to get to the door handle then since that didn't work they tried to pry the lock open ok the outside and broke it along with the door handle. My IS they put on a spare tire and scissor jack and stole my 20s. Both cars were insured so I got everything back and a little more. Few years before that I had a 99 civic hatchback with a h22 motor it was a sleeper and my daily driver only had liability on it and the whole car was stolen and stripped and basically I lost $9000 on that. Oh and I'm sure you've read my thread about this other IS owner that felt the need to touch my car and leave a dirty black hand print https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...s-reasons.html

I don't know if it counts as haters but my beloved 1998 Integra Type R (championship white) was stolen and stripped until it was a empty shell. A year or so later the cops called me to verify my VIN. They found my drivetrain in a civic, some dude they busted street racing.

I almost forgot, one night when driving into my neighborhood, some kid was hiding in a bush and threw 2 eggs at my car. One hit my hood and the other hit my front windshield

Once when I went to store, I noticed someone spat on my IS. The other day, some kids on the sidewalk threw rocks at me while driving by (they all missed) and I got out and gave them a lecture. I don't know if this counts or not, but when We bought our IS a few years ago, my wife drove it to work a couple of times and afterwards some of her coworkers got really mean to her.

After 1 year, parking in B.F.E. at a mall, I came back to my car and found a little papercup of garlic left upside down on my hood.

After 3 years, someone keyed the passenger's side door and quarter panel. This was after watching a UFC fight at Hooters and I was parked 2 spaces away from the next nearest car. Luckily it only took off the clear coat.

A previous car I owned got egged by some kids who didn't have anything better to do as their mom left them home all day. They would get on the 2nd floor window and target whatever. I called the cops, let them know where they where and they paid the mom a visit in the evening. She sent me a gift card to one of the major detailing shops in town in exchange for not pressing charges. Worked out for all involved.

I had my 01 ES300 a couple years back and one day some hater decided to key the trunk. It was bad...
Luckily somebody checked me into a wall a couple days later and the vehicle was claimed a total loss.
See, it all works out lol
