Time to go the route I did. My backup camera and my front mounted camera are connected to a Digital Video Recorder. I've already got 3 people on camera trying to mess with my car. You should see their cars now!

That does suck. Sorry to hear that. Did it happen when you were doing the test drive maybe?

yea acctualy i think i know who it was but have no idea where he lives or where he is.

when we were installing the lights, some guy rode up on a skateboard (we were in a gated parking area of my apartment complex). he was talking to us cause he and his friend just changed a battery in their car.

we made some small talk but i got a weird feeling from him.

my friend and i left for 20 minutes. when we got back, we passed the same guy and he was riding down the street on his board (about 1 minute from the complex). we got back and parked the car to find my GF sitting on the hood of my car (she got there 1 minute before me) who then pointed the scratch out to me.

and the weird thing is (now that ive taken a closer look) it looks as if some one took their key and just scraped the vinal off. the paint is undamaged...


and i might get the cameras, because i am now going on my 4th trip to a body shop guy i know who works out dents. have 2 new ones, on on either side of the car.
