Vandalism - Heartbroken, now what?

whoever did that was a little #####. Really sorry to read about your misfortune. I would touch tat up and put a new logo there.

I hate to see stuff like this. A few months ago, I was the victim of a much less severe case of vandalism. Someone thought it was a good idea to smear their spent chew down the side of my freshly polished and waxed black Mustang. They even tried to stuff some of it inside around the windows. Thankfully, I was able to get her looking good again. About a year prior to that, I had a black Explorer. I came out on a Monday morning to leave for work and someone smeared a chocolate bar all down the driver's side and on the windows. I had just spent all weekend detailing it. My neighbor had his car keyed a couple of weeks ago and as I was leaving for work one day this week, I noticed he had one of his windows taped up. Sure enough, when I came home that evening, I saw a pile of glass beside his car.

We bought this house just shy of two years ago with the intentions of remodeling it and flipping it. One of the biggest reasons I knew I would never be content here was the lack of a garage and lack of space to build one. The vandalism is enough to solidify it for me. It really is a shame though because our neighbors are great and everyone is friendly on our street. The problem is that our street is used by a lot of foot travellers from the next neighborhood. Just yesterday, I had to buy a lock for a gate in the fence around our house. Apparently, everyone thinks our yard is a shortcut to the town pool. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they had asked, but they didn't. Instead, they trample through our landscaping and have total disregard for our property.

That would drive me crazy enough to list the house and relocate.

It's pretty pathetic that people to the stuff that they do these days..

Well, got my baby back from the dealership today. Actually lucked out and had a co-worker tell me they had a friend that actually restored cars to show quality, turned out to be an amazing guy who really is a perfectionist about his work. The best part is, he does it for the love of working on cars. Obviously he doesn't work for free, nor would I expect him to. In the end I got a screaming deal on a job that I know is above and beyond what any dealership or local body shop would charge.

Decided to go with the original bow tie back on the trunk, but talked to this guy about painting both the front and back bow ties to match the factory Inferno Orange Metallic.

Finally, got my kids to get most of their stuff out of my garage (enough to park the SS at least) so she'll be in there for safe keeping from now on. Definitely a happy ending.

A nice ending :dblthumb2: Glad it worked out really well! Some people are just driven by envy.
 
Good to see a happy ending!

(And you got motivated to get your garage back).
 
Glad to hear and see that it's fixed. Keeping it in the garage at night will save you alot of headaches. Unfortunately most people suck and don't hesitate to amuse themselves at the expense of others.
Good luck!
