KeyJob

Friend of mine brought home a new Jaguar, actually new to her, it's a few years old but looks new.

She parked it in her parking space in her condo. When she came out it was all scratched up on one side. Key job, these marks were made by hand.

What kind of person does this? I have never felt the slightest need to damage another human beings property.

It's not even my car and I'm so angry. She has been thinking about this car for over a year before she finally decided she was worth it.

Arrrrg!

I have quoted this before and it seems to apply here as well. I think this sums it all up perfectly.

Pulp Fiction:

Quote:
Lance: Still got your Malibu?
Vincent: Aw, man. You know what some ****er did the other day?
Lance: What?
Vincent: ****ing keyed it.
Lance: Oh, man, that's ***ked up.
Vincent: Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of s**t ***ked with it.
Lance: They should be f**king killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.
Vincent: Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that **shole doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it.
Lance: What a ***ker!
Vincent: What's more chickens**t than ***king with a man's automobile? I mean, don't **** with another man's vehicle.
Lance: You don't do it.
Vincent: It's just against the rules.

Mean people suck! I'm betting that it wasn't a random act, but someone who's envious of you friend's success. I know we'd all like to catch someone in the act...

I think it's crossing the line too. But I have been sorely tempted when some a$shole takes up two parking spaces or parks so close to me that I can't get my door open when there are countless other empty spots.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a random act.

It was most likely the act of a neighbor since the car was parked in an assigned space on a property that is made up of other home owners. In the middle of the day there is no garbage being collected or landscaping being tended to.

It's possible that it could be someone visiting one of the other home owners but it's such a quiet, sleepy place that I think a fellow home owner who feels upset by my friends small success did it.

Probably someone she always has a smile for and a hello when she sees them every now and then.

The world is filled with some pretty good people, this person just ain't one of um.
