    I like where I live. Short walk to a park, lots of shops, restaurants and diverse people. Sometimes this diversity brings out the weirdness of some folks in odd ways.

    Gnat was Parkoured.

    Some fool thought my car was a goods launching pad. There is now a small scuff in the bumper where it looks like the left foot landed. Then a nice shoe tread print around a section of cracked paint on the bonnet between the scoop an drivers side headlight. This lead to the scoop margins getting cracked where we used filler to smooth in the scoop. At the top of the power bulge and onto the cowl there is another footprint. On the roof almost centered and between the front edge and sun roof is a new big dent. Along the side of the roof near about B pillar level there is another new big dent. Lastly on the trailing edge on drivers side there is the last dent, this one also has paint cracked.

    Noticed the cracked paint on the bonnet when taking the car to the shop for service. Didn't think a lot about it. Today was looking at more at donuts when the shoe tread pattern jumped out at me. A few of us then started looking over the car and found the rest.

    Called and made an insurance claim.

    This is gonna be fun being the bonnet, like the rest of the car, is slightly modded.

    Pictures, if they came out, will be up later.

    If you find the guy, I think your MINI should do a bit of Parkoure on him..

    Now that would make me buy a shotgun. Gnat will be better than new once you argue with your insurance folks. :(

    Sucketh indeed. Sometimes people do really stupid things. Sorry about Gnat!

    A couple of years ago I awoke one morning - the first morning of Spring Break - to find someone had heaved a cinder block at our Volvo. Hit the top edge of the windshield, dented the roof, shattered & punctured the glass, bounced off the hood. Ours was not the only car damaged in the neighborhood. Jerks...

    I think is people want to Parkour they should have to do it in Harlem NY or Compton CA with a Paula Dean fat suit and mask on.

    Make it a PPV and I would watch it.

    I like the shot gun idea. Maybe a nice new Remmington would be in order. After-all,
    Dildo Joe says its ok.... I say make it so!

    Good luck with the quotes and insurance. :Thumbsup:

    This little statement leads me to believe you should implement the 'dislike' button so we don't have to quote and may silly comments like mine!
