Default how often do you get keyed?

It's been the third time in 4 months!! First my ITR got keyed all over...then I painted it and it got keyed again on one side and now my Honda Logo got keyed too!! WTF?!! how often does this happen to you??
I don't want to seem extreme but is it possible to install a mini security camera inside the car?

Sorry to hear about that

Where do you park? On the street?

Never had it happen to me...

You could install a camera looking at the car. It will probably give you a better view of the *ssh*le doing it.....so you can track and destroy...

It all depends on the neighbourhood. And whether those criminals know what kind of car it is.

that's a lot.. perhaps someone doesn't like you for some reason..?

mini camera sounds like a good idea to me.. especially if it keeps happening in one particular place..

the only reason I can think of is jealousy...otherwise the body shop guy where I had it painted in the past...he did a bad job and ows me 8000$...

I park it in front of my house...but this **** has been happening downtown at night...so the camera would have to be mounted somewhere in the car...

Maybe it is less to do with the car and more to do with someone not liking you???

It is annoying that some people are cowards and if they have a problem with someone they rather "key" a car than just be "real" and tell the person the problem (if this is the case in this point.)

Sorry about your car. Maybe get a more sensitive alarm?

hide in the backseats of your car with a blanket or something over you, wait for the guy to key your car and jump out with a aluminum bat, proceed as you see fit.

Mine has never been keyed but it has been hit in a parking lot. Just be careful where you park and try to keep an eye on it.

The only place I leave mine parked unattended is at the office. I also keep a webcam on my car. Here's a shot from a while ago with the USDM front end when it was my daily driver.

Never... but I would bet on the odds it has to be the same @sshole doing it over and over.

Jealousy/envy I would suspect.

It was actually taken on May 29, 2003. I used to have the wecam auto FTP up pictures of the car every 5 minutes. That is when I turned that feature off.

Webcam? Ahh, now we know what you do for work!

Miss the days of seeing that car in its USDM hotness.

My old hatch got keyed 8 times in 1 year.

damn I just found out that the body shop guy was in the same place I was the night I think it got keyed...so it's very possible he did it!!

no nothing like that...if it's not him it's probably a girl since jealousy among girls can cause some very nasty things...I could get an alarm but I don't know if that would help...
