I had mine keyed a while back - the whole hatchback and rear light lenses and a couple of days later someone scuffed up the rear bumper and didn't leave their details - this was in a station car park where I leave my car a few times a week. Sure I was pissed off/gutted but did I think about getting rid of the car? - hell no - I just got it repaired and got on with things. I wouldn't let anything like that stop me from owning a nice car. I still park at the station too.

you have 2 options......

1. move, get a driveway and garage.

2. sleep in the car with a sawn off!

there is no option 3 which would be to sell the car.

I had mine keyed (both nearside doors) back in August 2007 within a couple of months of taking delivery - had it sorted and not had a repeat, and loved driving every time over the (nearly) 7 years since.

Don't sell it, as others have said that will be letting the scumbags win and it's too good a car to deprive yourself of it because of some low lifes.

I didn't think I would get my T5 keyed, I doubt it was a jealous builder :biggrin3:
