no way my kids are going to be like that. she's different from her siblings. her second sister (16) is married with a 5 months old. then her 14 y/o sister is hardly home, spending more time at her bfs house (he's 18), neglecting her chores. then you got the three rugrats 6-12.

rig his scooter with some type of explosive, record it, and post it here for all our enjoyment.

I think everyone is missing the obvious question:

Did you ask her (nicely) who keyed your car?

Base any decisions on that answer.

If you really want to piss off the parents:

file an insurance claim. get estimates. get it fixed. give repair bill to parents. if they bitch, sue.

true ... i dont know if i wont speak to her again. kids will be kids, but this is not good.
when she needs something from me, she aint getting it! too bad cuz she was my favorite.
i didnt really like the two youngest kids cuz they are ignorant little bastards. i still cant believe
she did it.

but what if the boy did it? then what?!



loosen the brakes of his scooter and put some race(100octane) gas in it...........grab a :beer: and film it.

Of course this depends on your deductible. Also get estimate anyway. You would be surprised just how much this repair can cost.

BS!

My deductible is $500. My door was caved-in by a drunk a few years ago. The repair bill came to $498.65 and my insurrance company refused to pay it. So I threatened to sue the guy that hit me if he didn't write a check immediately for the repair. He wrote it out after bitching a bit. He said it was too high. I told him to start writing or he will be too sore to go to work. He gave me the run-around for 2 months and I had had enough.

I didn't have the money to pay for it myself.

did it scratch into the paint or just clear coat? i've taken out light scratches that have barely gotten into the paint with a buffer. if it's just a clear coat scratch then a buffer will definitely take it out.

Pearl and metallic type paints are hard to match. Repainting a trunk lid would run ~300$ for a good job.

some of the letters are light and will prob come out with a buffer. the side of the "F" and "K" are heavily embedded into the paint.

I suggest you do everything mentioned so far.

Get an estimate and charge them, suing if they don't pay, then put 100 octane gas in the keyed, tire-slashed, and rigged-to-blow scooter, film it and post it on here, then kill both of them and kill yourself.

That would be the reasonable thing to do, but you have to remember that everyone here is hardcore. Resorting to violence is the only answer.

We were joking around and she said she was gonna "key" my car. I figure she was gonna write it in with her finger since my car was dirty, but what do you know, she wrote out the damn words with the tool she was playing around with. i am super pissed off. you can't really make out the words, but you can see that it's there once you remove the dirt.

i dont know what to do now. I hope this other kid did it. She was with her friends along with this one boy who tries to show off by saying he had 2 motor scooters at home. Yea like I care since i have my own car. Anyways, what makes it tough is that the girl is my fiance's sister.

I didnt really think she was gonna do something like this. If it's the little boy (12 y/o) im going to have to sucker punch him or something.

An EYE for an EYE, take the Hex tool and key them, engrave 'fvck you' on them...
