DAMN!! OP's post is literally heart wrenching. I cannot believe that people would do this. If you can't afford the car, don't go hating on others =/

Respect other's property, that sucks. I hope it gets fixed soon!

I wouldn't have let that kid go, society's problem isn't your fault. People need to take responsibility for their actions. In my case, I'd reported it -- feeling bad is one thing, but the opposing side doesn't feel bad for your broken property.

The guy made an honorable decision though. A broken taillight is a lot easier to deal with than a keyed car. The kid wasn't right but you figure his life is upside down, not necessarily at his decision. It's like if you catch a poor kid stealing... obviously the kid is in the wrong, but you can't help feel sorry for him and kind of want to just give the kid a break rather than perpetuate what makes the kid's life miserable.

It reminds me of Doogie Howser, how that guy who held him up ended up being his friend and working with him at the hospital later on in the series.


Or even how some people have let some little accidents slide when the person who caused damage to their car obviously has financial difficulty. An old roommate of mine in college used to work at Home Depot and didn't much flexibility financially, and once something he was loading into a customer's car fell and scratched his car. The customer asked my friend if the store would make him pay for it (rather than the store paying for it) and then told my friend to not worry about it and he'd just take care of the damages himself rather than making a stink out of it.

Am I the only one that doesn't have to pay the deductible when this happens? My truck has been keyed/scratched 3 different times. Insurance company always says "no deductible on cases of vandalism". Love it.

Some companies also have disappearing deductibles (Safeco/Liberty Mutual, Nationwide/Allied)

Why do people at JCs key cars? Both of my friends' Civic Sis were keyed at JC as well. Fuck haters.

This also happens at every university across the country.

A Blackvue camera set up would've perfect in this situation.

This is one reason I didn't get a hot lava. I felt like it would catch the eyes of too many... haters (for a lack of better word).

This was exactly what I was worried about when I first got my FRS. It's crazy to not think its safe to park your car without people damaging it.. F the world..
