Some lovely person has keyed my car.
« on: 16 April 2012, 22:02:36 »

Just what I want when I'm getting ready to give it a full wash, polish, wax, and clean the interior.

I'll take a photo in daylight, at first I thought I'd been a numpty and maneouvered into something pointy (it has been known), but the marks would mean I'd have had to be going back and forth. And it's too deep to be an accidental brushing past.
 On the curved bit of the O/S front wing, so it'll be a swine to blow in as well... my only hope is that it happened at a supermarket of ill repute and so it was caught on CCTV, gives me a teeny chance of finding the offender and cutting his han- er, having a polite conversation with them...

...in all seriousness, I'd love to have the person put before the courts, even for a slap on the wrist, but I think Lady Luck will be against me.

And typically it's going to be a month or so before I have enough spare cash to get it SMART'd...

Blimey, I've always thought where you lived was fairly sleepy away from the seafront.

At least it's the front wing, so if it won't polish out, you will find a replacement wing.  :y
