I'm very sorry to hear about this. Maybe it is worth the trouble to park away from where trouble is lurking.
I hate having to think about what could be happening when I park my car.
MINI paint is pretty soft stuff. Paper towels leave scratches on my car. Yikes.

This is the kind of stuff that just pisses me off. It's not expensive enough to go through insurance which means you eat the cost. God I hate that. Just remember what goes around comes around. You shall have your day, it's a small world.

I know how you feel! Some punk kids pried the MINI logo from my boot and stole the valve caps. They left 3 pretty deep scratches.

Now I'm very careful where I park my MINI. I'm the fool you see in the grocery store parking lot at the end of the aisle, all by her lonesome. But no scratches to date!

Chin up, eyes open!

Sorry to hear that Twinky. Dam, I know you haven't even had it for a month and I remember you talking so much about it when you were waiting. It sucks that some jealous people need to mess up someone's property. You could look at it as a compliment anyway. They had to go out of their way to mess with your car. They like you, hahaha, enough to give you that much attention. Anyways, as long as you stay on your level, things will work out. Karma is a b!*&h, and they will get it. I wouldn't do anything if I saw them. Just remember that you have a better car than them.

Damn, that sucks. Some people have no respect. I'm also the guy who tries to park away from everyone else. So far I have no dings or scratches, but the front of my car has all these tiny rock chips and I have a small dent on the bonnet from a tree branch that fell during a snowstorm. Sometimes you can't win.

twinky-
Just a small note. If you do anything. Be careful to be discrete. You don't want to create a "war" between your sweet MINI and their "junk". You have much more to loose. I would keep a low profile and stay away from being obvious in the area they tend to visit.

Another thought. I don't know how many MINIs there are in your area. In my area we have sold 550+ since the dealer opened and I know many many many of the MINIs I see on the road and parked individually. It's almost as bad as police cars with numbers on them. Each MINI is so unique that it becomes easy to tell who is doing what which means you are easily detected. MINIs do not blend in with the crowd. You are not annonymous.

Count me in too as sorry to read about your car.

A couple of thoughts. Like some of the others I have learned that these things tend to escalate by retaliation. You assume if was those guys but are you absolutely sure? Also, you will lower yourself to their level by going with revenge.

Okay, I am sure you did not want that sort of boring reasoning, so some other thoughts you might like better. Fantasies about revenge and ranting can be great outlets. I notice you are a musician. How about getting it out in your music? That's inspired some really great music.

If this sounds like it's coming from an old fart that's because it is. But an old fart that's learned some things the hard way. Hell, I once shot a man in Reno just to watch him die...whoops, sorry for the country reference.
