Theresa, genuinely feel for you. I can only echo others on here. Nothing I could say would make the tiniest difference of how you feel, but I do know how the mind works, over time & everyone is a suspect, been there.

Hope you can turn around your coop & make it shiny again.


I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Hope you get it sorted soon and the equilibrium of life is restored.

As I found today generosity of spirit reigns strong in this community and I hope this will help in some way, esp. with offers that have been pouring in.

Thanks all, much appreciated. I still feel gutted and especially not knowing if it's a grudge or random attack.

People have been quite shocked as to how calm I've been about it really lol laugh

If I'd caught them in the act, I'd have killed them, but if you just come out and see it like that, it's more a feeling of anger, disappointment and dispair. I have no culprit to aim my anger at frown

My workplace in the evenings is a hospital and people have been telling me that gypsies have been hanging around since Monday as one of them is on the labour ward (they often congregate in large groups at the hospital when one of them is there).
I don't want to discriminate or catorgorise, etc., but it's a possiblity it could have been one of them.
I don't think I'll ever find out who it was though frown

I remembered earlier that a local lad in a Sprinty followed me into the hospital car park one night, a few months ago, asking me if I needed any parts, as he would be breaking his once he put the engine in a Doblo cool laugh
We swapped phone numbers, so I'm going to text him later and see if he still has the shell or any parts left.
If he has a drivers door, it'll be easier than going to Jbt's to get one laugh

I'll ask him if he knows much about hedgehogs as well laugh

I read this last night T, but wasn't sure what to say. It's strange how each time I opened the pictures, it gave me that horrible sickly feeling in my stomach.
I just don't understand the mentality of this? Fair enough a jealous kid walking past a car and running his key along the side but this looks like a 5 year old coloring in a wall with a set of crayons!

You're calm now but my guess is you're still in shock. I remember when my sprinty was done, I wanted to sleep in the bushes next to the car and attack anyone who even looked at it.

Is it pssible to show someone at work the damage and ask them to install a camera looking at the carpark?

Don't lose heart T, get her fixed up and looking A1 again, it's the only thing you can do apart from buying a gun and sleeping in the car.

Gutted for you...it's's fixable and you're not hurt or ill.

I do think that this is a grudge it's not a simple criminal damage to a car maybe one or two scrapes as a jealous/pissed person walks by..that damage would of taken time and effort it's over the top and premeditated.

Total a***holes! The ultimate act of cowardly spitefulness. Stuff like this makes me paranoid about leaving my coupe anywhere. Gutted for you T, hope you get it sorted, maybe a chips away type company may be able to repair it without a respray.

Don't assume its anyone, i have heard of issues where a chaps(car rep) car would get repeatedly keyed and he thought it was all these dodgy people ie the usual suspects but it turned out to be a jealous neighbour after the dealership had a hidden camera fitted to the car.

Can you get a chips away guy, i know these are not as good as a respray and discolour a bit over time but its a lot cheaper and you don't know if this will happen again. I would wait and see how this unfolds. Also if this is the original door it will have been lined up by the factory and they all vary and new doors that are added after can have very different panel gaps, so i would try to keep it.

About 5 years ago there was a chap on here who something very similar happened to on his yellow coop and he had a chips away guy who did a very good temporary fix.

Hope life gives you a lift soon.

Tom.

I've just seen this thread now. Really sorry to hear about this Theresa. frown

I hope it all gets sorted out for you! smile

And now, to hopefully provide you with a cathartic release for your anger.

I want you to imagine that you have found out who scratched your Coop... oh and also that you are famous Hollywood actor Mr Ray Liotta...

Not safe for work!

Quick update:

Just had a phone call:

Csi have got the prints off someone they are going to arrest cool

Unless they admit it, I doubt anything else will come of it, but I'm glad they are going to be arrested and have their day ruined laugh

I need to go and make a quick statement, regarding where the Coupe was parked and when I noticed the damage, etc.

Will be good if something comes of it, but even if not, hopefully, if they do it again to someone elses car and get evidence, the police will be able to link them to mine too smile

good news, but a horrible "glass half empty" warning from me, my first thought sadly; if they have been caught with matching prints, but the police are powerless to take serious action (IE lack of evidence or CPS interference), i would be extremely cautious for the following few weeks, as this scrote will assume they are untouchable, and as such, may return for another go.

they may not ever cross your car again, but i would always be thinking that "how dare you report me" is the attitude of such scum.

nevertheless, great news as above - i am always however erring on caution.

oh, and of course, lovely coupe :-)
