This makes me go mad every time!
Good damned idiots who can't drive,or even worst do not care.

I nice looking foreign (expencive) car is a target by the envious.

I'm so sorry to see this.

Those deep and vast scraches needs professional care > ?100.

I'm so furious that I need to get it out:

What if you would rip someones T-shirt or trousers - less than ?50.

Or brake you neighbours livingroom window - about ?100.

But when some idiot scratches you car - uups...
