Car got keyed again. Advice on Dash cam - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Ravine · 10-20-2012, 05:22 AM

Hey guys me again.

Car got keyed again. This time on the bonnet near the badge. Luckily, it's not very deep, only a little bit went down to the primer but even then, I can barely feel it with my nail so I'm 100% sure it'll buff out.

What I'd like to know is what I should do about getting a Dash camera on my car. I'm tired of these ****heads keying my car and I'd like to catch one, track them down and dish out some vigilante justice.

Has anybody got one or have one they can recommend?

Edit; Did another inspection of my car. There are 3 deep scratches and lines coming from the front passenger wheel arches. Looks like someone might have brushed up against my car. My last new car which I had for 5 years has never gotten fucked as much as this car has in 3 months.

Satu23 · 10-20-2012, 07:38 AM

fark me, again - so many haters and was it the same place as before ?

benoh · 10-20-2012, 07:52 AM

This makes me so angry. People are jealous and have to dish out that jealousy on your car, absolutely disgusting.

I would be so angry if this were to happen to me. Although it's not really possible, I really want you to find out who did this (and the previous time too- more hate if its the same person/group of people) and really give them what they deserve. Im hoping some jail time is involved.

Camera's a great idea but seriously you need to get your car off the road (from memory it's street parked). Or park it close to massive floodlights switched by senors with a hidden cam mounted on a building ! Hope da bastards do time for that shit.

CryptiK · 10-20-2012, 10:52 AM

Same spot? Time to set the up me thinks.

Pbrown · 10-20-2012, 10:57 AM

Maybe if you spent more time in your girlfriends as you do the car, they wouldn't keep keying it. LOL Sorry to hear this keeps happening to you.

I work in electronic security, and one field I have done a lot of wok in is high end CCTV. I have worked on systems that have cost in the millions.
I suggest putting very obvious, maybe even fake, cameras pointing toward your car and an obvious one in the front and rear of the car (these can be real, as they're cheap, but keep them obvious).
If you put real ones in, it will cost a fortune, and the chances of seeing someone keying your car, and identifying them, is so remote that it's not worth it, unless you spend tens of thousands on a multiple IP Camera set up with full IR lighting. Then there's the issue of even seeing their face to get a positive ID.

The best (and cheapest) start to security is preventive security.
Make someone believe its there.
