If someone your keyed your brand new car (deep scratches) ?

Question

I am a new driver I got my license 3 days ago. I worked so hard to earn the money for the car. I got my first car 2 days later, this brand new car costed me about $17,900.00

What happened was, I live in apartments.

There are two garages. G1 and G3 my parking sticker said I a should be in G1Upper167 when I got there last night around 11:00PM there was no car I parked there.

Keep in mind this was my FIRST time parking there, I never parked there before I never owned a car before.

Around I think it was 3:00pm (today) I receive a call from the apartment office that I should move my car since it's in the wrong spot, I told them about my sticker# being G1Upper167, they admitted they gave me the wrong sticker. They said that my sticker should have been G3Upper167 not G1Upper167.

Answer 1

I am sorry as well but you sound like a smart person so what can you really do.........................get it repaired and move on anything else would not only be illegal but show that you are not smart............

Answer 2

I am sorry this has happened to you.I would turn this into your Inc company and take it to a body shop to have it fixed,You will have to pay your deductible but they can fix it to look like new again. I work at a body shop in Ohio.

also you don't have to scratch the car think of all possibilities

epoxy glue the door lock ,sugar and sand in the gas tank,

paint remover squirt it with a water gun.

Answer 5

Wow! That's terrible! I got this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach reading that... its never happened to me but that's terrible.

If you go about keying this other guy's car in return, you may end up being caught, and then your situation gets so much worse.

I can't believe there's no cameras in the garage. Everywhere I work/park has cameras around.

Keep asking around. Call your insurance company and see if they have any advice, or offers for fixing the car. Talk to the dealership for advice/offers. Talk to everyone and anyone! In a situation like this you don't want to pay out of pocket to fix the damage and then find out later that there was a better option out there.

I really hope you can catch the guy who did that to you. If someone deliberately damaged my car, and I could get my hands on him, gunshot to the *beep* head... I'm REALLY possessive about my car (even though its not that fancy).

Answer 6

Here is what I would do....

                                              Park in his spot again and have a hidden camera taping him. If you are lucky he will do it again.

Then take him to court.

Answer 7

i'm so sorry this happened to you! i know how you feel. i bought my first car at 12,000 dollars. i drove it to work the third day i had it, and somebody did a "hit and run" in the parking lot at my work. they smashed in the side of my car, and said nothing about it. because i had parked in the end of the lot, the security cameras did not catch it. nobody saw what happened, and the police said there was nothing i could do but write a report in case somebody confessed. fortunatley, my insurance covered most of it. if you don't have insurance yet, i would suggest calling the place where you bought the car and explaining the situaiton to them. ask if you have any types of warranties for these types of things, and ask them how much they would charge to fix it for you. some companies will do anything to keep good buisness, and would fix it for free since you just bought the car. if they won't fix it for free, they may even cut you a deal since you are a new customer. they want to keep you happy, and they want to keep you as a customer. if you don't have insurance, the car dealer where you got the car is probablly your best bet on getting it taken care of.

Answer 8

You know the guy who did it is the guy who had the parking spot.  Even if you parked in his spot on purpose, that does not give him the right to damage your personal property.

File a police report, Get an estimate of your damages, get a statement from your apartment complex on what happened and take him to small claims court for the damages.  

You only have to prove that it is more likely than not that he keyed your car. Personally, I think it is pretty obvious that he did and any reasonable judge would agree.

If you lose your case, then eye for an eye.  You key the c**p out of his car.
