Who knows it's in that garage that you've pissed off lately? Anyone else have access to the garage? Spare keys, maintenance men, apt complex etc.

Well I know you guys are gonna snicker at this, but until that night my wife and I would leave the garage door open because when it's negative 10 degrees out the door won't open and when I'm at work my wife doesn't want to get out of the car and open in manually, plus we have a 10 month old baby boy and he makes things that much more difficult.
My land lord has been too cheap to replace the door opener, but I managed to fix it saturday night so that it has more juice and now functions properly despite the frigid cold temps.

But, here's the thing, there are plenty of other cars parked outside in my alley, and ONLY mine was tagged...

I've got no idea of anyone who could have a vendetta against me... One thing mentioned here though that is interesting is that it's seems like a femanine type crime...

I'm a director of a Dance school and recently posted casting for a performance coming up so the only thing I could think of is that it's one of my dance students, disgruntled over not getting a part or something... But then one has to picture a teenage ballerina out at midnight with a can of spray paint and that seem pretty unlikely LOL...

And Mr.82 I actually don't live in Duluth anymore, I moved to Grand Rapids MN this last July.
But race where exactly?
If I happen to find a ricer on the road, I happily blow his doors off but that's about it. :P


-PEACE

Sucks big time. Funny how we treat these 7's like our children Someone kicked the **** out of the driver rear fender on my 88 SE last year. I had planned on repainting it, but it only needed minor door ding fixes and a little surface rust. Now I am looking at some involved body work. Couldn't be the front fender, could it?!?!?!?

Also, my SE caught on fire back in Dec. I literally almost cried.

Seeing your car vandalized is definitely one of the very worst parts of car ownership. I had it happen to two different cars, both in public parking lots, years apart when I lived in Pittsburgh. My '85 GLC was keyed from end to end, probably with a tire iron because it was deep enough to deform the metal. In 1996, my '90 RX-7 GTU had both doors kicked in and the roof caved in by someone who climbed on top of it and jumped up and down a few times. Nobody was ever caught. Vandals don't need any reason to do it except seeing a nice car that isn't theirs.

Very glad to hear that your car wasn't permanently damaged.

Did you notice anything from the garage missing? Was the can of spray paint from your garage or did they bring it with them?
