That is so sad. It seems the nicer you keep your car looking, the more some moron feels the need to vandalize it. I feel your pain and anger. Mine has never been keyed, thank goodness, but it seems to accumulate door dings no matter how far out in the lot I park.
I don't suppose you stand a chance of catching the SOB, but wouldn't it be nice if you could? I hope you can get it repaired to as new condition. Good Luck.

I just don't understand why anyone vandalizes a car. Jealousy or some people are just mean. So sorry for you. We all love our Jags and do so much to keep them nice.

The plus side, there are security cameras at work, but not all that close to where I parked, so I'm not sure if they caught anything. The sad thing is, I'm actually not that surprised it happened, I'm just surprised it happened at work. For a man my age around here, there are too many people who don't think I should have a car like this and this is there way of acting out. A few weeks after I had the car, I was at my parents house and parked on the street between my old Cougar and my father's Buick. I was only on the street for a couple of hours (usually I'm in the driveway) and someone poured soda all over the car. There wasn't a drop on the other two cars, so it was definitely deliberate. It's just sad that some people do this.

I feel for you. I thought only Europeans were cretinous enough to key cars. I thought you were pretty safe in the US with beautiful cars being more common place.

Try plugging the bodywork directly into the mains electricity next time. Even 115V US electricity would give them a nasty surprise. Otherwise, I can email you over some 240V Euro juice

You would think your work parking lot is the last place you would expect this to happen....but I had a car stolen from work a few years back. By the time it was recovered 2 weeks later, it was nearly totalled.

There are some talented body guys that may be able to repair that without a trace with an airbrush and blend technique and hopefully avoid a panel repaint.

Haters gonna hate. Hopefully it can be airbrushed well and your car is good as new. I can't stand people doing stuff like this; the only good thing is that they usually don't have enough money to own anything half decent in their entire lifetime.

I haven't had anyone vandalize my Corvette, motorcycles or sport sedans. But then again, I live in a great older neighborhood and work in a guarded complex with enough security cameras to catch every butt scratch, so the stuff if pretty sheltered.

Most of the time it is class envy on the part of those who believe owners of nice, or luxury, vehicles are rich and deserve to be taken down a notch, or caused some inconvenience.

Unbelievable! You want to drive these cars daily, especially in the summer months when the weather is nice, then for this to happen. Check your insurance maybe your claim can have the whole body panels repainted. A good paint guy can do wonders.

Good luck and I hope you find the guy it did this.

At the advice of my legal counsel (and awesome sister-in-law ) I've change the thread title to something less harsh. I'm doing follow up today, and starting an internal investigation at work, so I'll keep you posted on what I can.
