Came home from the beach late last night (decided to take the Golf, left the Omega at home due to car park wars...) to find some little b*££%"ds had done the Omega over, black spray painted words, which are unsuitable for public viewing all over the white bodywork, windows and VRMs.

Angry, hell yes.

Why? god only knows.

 

Whats got into the world these days.

A very light wipe with thinners (not much, the black will still be hardening so it should come off easy) and then some Tcut will sort it......a job I have done many times....even easier with a compounder.

[Elsheepo]

Thanks Mark,

I've already done it, spent over an hour with G3 polishing it out, the police wanted me to wait until monday when they could get a crime scene person over to take a look, I polietly told them there was no way I was going to let the paint get any harder, especially in this heat!

She;s shut up in the garage now, awaiting some spare time so I can completly T-cut and polish the paintwork to make sure I don;t get any areas of discolouration.

As if us hard working folk don't have enough to do as it is, without having to spend time cleaning up after little scrots who probably get paid by the state and have enough time on there hand to commit mindless acts of vandelism like this.  . Arrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggggh.

Rant over.

Its annoying to think that the Taxes you pay probably funded the paint......

[Elsheepo]

You're more than likely right, just glad they were so stupid they didn't read the label, the part about shakig well first.  The fact the paint was 'thinner' at the top of the aerosol as it hadn;t been mixed properly would seem to have been good luck, the paint, whilst needing a good amount of elbow work, came off relativly easily.

I am now just concerned about it happening again.

Dudester32 started a similar thread a while ago, except that they'd actually scratched his quite badly. It really is a bummer and I hope you get it back to its former glory. Dont hold your breath over the police being able to do anything about it

I know how you feel m8......my window was smashed a few weeks ago......c***s, on a Saturday as well........you wanna move to Swindon   Crime scene turned up 20mins after I phoned police...and its a good 10min drive to the police station!...obviously bored in this part of the world!

Not quite sure why crime scene would be interested tho......in my case they tried lifting finger prints off the interior.....hmmmm its a taxi.....just one or two i woulda thought  
Gave up with fingerprints.....and looked for blood.....gave up on that as well!

In your case....why would there be finger prints?......ok they may take a sample of the spray paint......but even if they found a scrout with a can of the same paint....be impossible to prove unless he had it specially mixed.....

Hope you get it looking great again......my window now clunks twice when I put it down and sometimes goes back down when I press the one touch up

[RonaldMcBurger]

I am a great believer in 'what goes around.....' If these scumbuckets ever manage to get a car of their own, lets look forwrad to their getting trashed!

[Auto Addict]

TD - that will be glass left inside your door card.

[Markjay]

Sorry to hear about this.... I had my bonet and front wing scratched a few times, very annoying.... good luck with fixing it.

[Martin_1962]

Horrible thing to have happen, I have had breakin attempts but luckily nothing with the Omegas apart from H&R mirror glass and Interlink bumper modification

[nixoro]

Sorry to hear of your bad luck with the little bastids of today, had scratches an alsorts happen previous.

Good Luck with getting it sorted.

[Redeye]

You're not alone mate, we all have to suffer from yobs. Our local paper is full of stories every week of what vandals have trashed and destroyed but I've never seen a story about a vandal being caught or sentenced. I'd personally give them 50 lashes and make them pay for any repairs.  

[TheBoy]

In deepest Brackley, nothing ever usually happens, but we do have the phantom tyre slasher who attacks from time to time, slashing the tyres of 100 or so cars  

[Martin_1962]

Better rephrase that - it reads as if it was you!! :-?
