This Volvo belongs to my Polish neighbour who works every hour God sends and is the nicest most cheerful bloke you could ever hope to meet. They have also keyed a fairly new Toyota and a brand new supercharged Mini Cooper.
I live on a private estate with no through access so it can't be someone just passing by, but even worse someone who lives in one of the 76 apartments here. If I find out who.......

    I too live in a rough neighborhood. A one a month a son of a motheryucker did the same to my car. I made the mistake of having it resprayed anyways a week later I had twice as much vandalism on the car body. Just bite the bullet and ignore it.

    It's one of the reason i try to spend as little as possible on car purchase
    Scratchers are malicious and will target again - NEVER repair quickly.

    What motivates people to do this? What gain / pleasure do they possibly derive from scratching several cars?

    You could always try a cctv setup, not too expensive. Trouble is, I don't know if the police would bother, even if you did. You hear so many cases of people having clear evidence, and no action being taken. In fairness, when we had some trouble and I videotaped it, the police did use it, but that was a comparatively low level abusive behaviour. Worth a try though, I would have thought. My sympathies, can't imagine what the motivation can be. Jealous???

    The thing is I can't think of anyone who live here who would do this to three cars. They were all parked well away from where anyone would be casually strolling past so a visitor wouldn't even pass them by. It has to be someone returning from either there own garage or parked car. Utter madness.

    Just as likely to be some kid who's parents do everything they can for them, rebelling against the world.

    You'd be surprised how often it turns out to be some OAP with a secret grudge.
