Mindless vandalism

Some **** has gone along the front wing, both passenger doors and the rear wing of my PBlue ST220 with white aerosol spray paint. Of course, they made sure to spray the door handles/locks etc as well. :mad:

Anyway, spent this afternoon polishing it out with T-cut and some colour restorer and so far so good, thank God!

I really love my ST220. I've just spent a fortune on the ICE and I've only had it 2 months.

I spent years studying at uni and getting professional qualifications so I could make a life for the Mrs and send the kids to a good private school. We don't take/can't afford holidays; my ST220 is the first "luxury" I've alllowed myself, and then this.

Sorry I had to vent.

In Yorkshire? I thought we were better than that. I'd be livid.

Sad People everywhere that think they deserve everything without working for it, when they realise they become **** and ruin the stuff that others have hard earned, its there way of getting back at the world for being failures...

At least its come out, maybe install cctv overlooking where its parked

It can happen to anyone. Someone rubbed a window with a rock on my pride and joy, scratched the **** out of it.

Ah the joys of on street parking. After something similar happened to me i now avoid parking overnight on the street as much as possible, its the only way for peace of mind!

Sorry to hear of this?

Are you going to need to dismantle the doors to remove the handles for a proper clean or can you get it all off?

Do you turn it down in your neighbourhood?

Who've you upset do you think?

Scumbags. :/

Just thinking the same.

One of my colleagues had his SL500 keyed back and forth on almost every panel (all except the roof I think) this weekend whilst parked for 25 minutes next to a North London park this weekend. Down to the metal.

Absolutely mindless. :confused:

Just because someone's car gets keyed does not automatically mean they have been getting peoples backs up. Some people are just down right jealous and are thick, the combination of the two yields the results found in the OP.

Parked on the street?

A Mondeo isn't a typical target for jealousy-induced vandalism though surely?

What is wrong with people today?

Perhaps move to a new area with better parking arrangements and better local schools rather than going private, perhaps Harrogate or somewhere like that, that way at least you might have extra equity in a home and maybe something left over for holidays.

Or, alternatively, give the children you brought into the world through no fault of their own the best chance you possibly can and send them to a decent school...

But it usually does.

Mindlessly booting every wing mirror off on the street or keying every car in a row is the stuff of morons however a single attack usually means you've done something someone doesn't like, yes it may not but it usually does.

Most fast fords(Fiesta ST especially) are always a target for these kind of people.

I suppose we will never know, the OP may not even know. Just one of the those things.

If only life were that simple.

Exactly. Hull is not perfect but its meant that we've been able to give our kids the quality of life and education that I could never have imagined were we to live in, for instance, my home town of London.
