Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Truck got keyed

I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 3500, 4wd, Cummins engine with 6 speed manual, I have raised it from a pup, never been in the sagebrush, never been up in the rocks hunting elk, never used as a work truck. Just used it to pull my 5th wheel and haul household stuff. Really nice condition and I try to keep it that way, it has to last me until I dont need it any more.

Came out of the truckstop cafe noon Friday to find someone had keyed the side of my truck, SOB got the driver side doors and the whole truck bed panel. Will not rub out, scratches are clear down to the primer. Got to call the insurance Monday and see what they say. Rips my knickers.

People are [bleep].

I'm very, very slow to anger. But I'd hate to catch somebody destroying my property like that for no reason.

He'd have one very bad day and I'd have bad days for the rest of my life.

That sucks.

That’s a sorry thing to do.

Yuma? Winterhaven?

hate to hear this, senseless act

Juan or Jose?

Beavis or Butthead, the Methheads?

do you have military service decals on it?
keyed by some pissed off, hates the military CA Soccer Mom, or Les Bian?

Trump sticker? Not that having one deserves it. Just curious.

Asswholes.

I was sitting in my truck at the grocery store waiting on the better half one evening. A carload of twinkie fanatics parked next to me and prepared their mount and conquer strategy for the high fructose corn syrup isle and any others that got in their way. Once the plan was hatched a 400lb heifer threw the door open and into the rear fender of my truck. After the truck settled back down on all 4 wheels I gave em a WTF. Another 350lb heifer bellard out something about ho ho's and diet dr pepper and I decided it wasn't worth getting my blood pressure up.

Some years ago my wife had her car keyed by her daughter's ex-boyfriend.

Then there's this one:

Parents Ordered to Pay Thousands to Dealer After Child Scratches 10 Brand-New Cars
NEWS
A three-year-old child racked up quite the bill for her parents after a recent trip to an Audi dealership in China. Local news reports that the small child managed to get creative on a number of brand new vehicles while the parents shopped around the showroom floor. The child reportedly used a small stone to doodle on the fresh paint and sheet metal of brand-new Audi cars and SUVs, as the photos published by Guilin News show below.

The nightmarish scenario (for both parties), took place in Guilin, China, and while most of the models that were damaged weren't included in the news report, it does mention that some of the vehicles heavily scratched included an Audi Q3 and new 2020 Q8, which start at $34,700 and $68,200 in the U.S. Measurements taken by the dealership show that some of the scratches were as long as four inches, and in most cases, there were multiples per vehicle.

Initially, the dealership demanded $28,643 from the parents to compensate them for the damages. The dealership claimed that the cars could no longer be marketed as "new" and would need to be sold at a reduced price despite new paint jobs covering up the damages caused by the child. Management also claimed that hiding paint or touch-up work from the future buyers could pose a liability risk to them as all damage/repairs need to be disclosed at the point of sale.

Because the parents and dealership couldn't initially reach an agreement for the damages, the Lingui District People's Court of Guilin City got involved in the matter. The dispute was finally settled this month with the court ordering the parents pay the dealership $10,025, a number that albeit lower than the original sum, was reportedly tough for the parents to swallow.

The judge reminded the parents that their explanations for the child's actions such as "the child is still young" and "she is not sensible" aren't excuses to avoid legal responsibility. Instead, they were encouraged to use this as a lesson to strengthen the management of their child and teach her how to take care of belongings.

That is a bad thing, I hope the insurance comes through.

Sorry to hear this happened. Any chance a security camera may have caught who did it?

Good luck with the insurance.

Yep it sucks. Had a POS try to steal my truck by punching the keyhole on the passenger side. Have to slide over to unlock it every time. Still pisses me off.

Thermo-nuclear explosion theft and vandalism device inactive?

Sorry to hear, I know it sucks! I had a 72 LT-1 Corvette that got keyed out in a parking lot. Did make me wonder what I had done and if something caught up to me. I drove that thing a little aggressively!

Happened in Yuma. Who the hell knows who might have done it, I have Wyoming plates on it and there are folks here who hate snowbirds. Yes, I have military bumper stickers and a NRA decal and they are going to stay right where they are.

Beat me to it. I was busy reading other posts. Hopefully not, but my buddies have Trump bumper stickers on MAGNETS. All you have to do is to remember to pull 'em off after you park.
