Bad luck, it's gut wrenching when you see it and realise what's happened.
Some s**t head did my old Aero Saab a few years ago. the entire side, front to back (both doors and wings) on the passenger side. I was convinced it happened in a supermarket carpark but didn't notice until it was at work later in the day, so couldn't really do anything about it.

Very annoying and the incovienience of affecting repairs etc. What annoys me the most is even if the person was caught nothing would be done and certainly nothing that would act as a deterrant. I would quite happily support a body part being removed from an offender as a deterrant, finger or an ear to act as a reminder not to do it again. Electric chair for knicking alloys.

Strange that keying would be a near perfect straight line especially over three panels. The person would be walking or running past and the up down motion of walking combined with the arm movement would give it some wavering. Unless they had their arm out of a passing car.
Sorry to hear this tho'. Someone key'd my ford fiasco on the back. It's an old teapot, can't see why they did it. Some people are at odds with themselves to put it politely.

As you say, it's odd that your car should be the only one touched Were you close to or opposite someone's drive?
It's a permanent concern of mine as it's such a simple yet dreadful act whose cause can often never be known - so frustrating and annoying. Sadly often sick and twisted individuals with real issues that no amount of accountability or deterrent will stop.
There but for the grace of god go any of us . . . dreadful; often return to my M with trepidation and concern for any damage of this sort
Mate of mine said best thing in a case like this is to just get it sorted as soon as to get over the impact. . .
Once saw a horse and trap with a horse out of control going downhill - smashed into and dragged along 4 parked cars with the owner unable to do anything about it. . . did he return - not a chance.
Over the years, all four corner of my family hack have been scraped in our local Tesco carpark - has anyone ever owned up, left a note of waited to see me - never. . .
Awful to read about another incident; hope you get it resolved as soon as possible PVR.

It definitely was deliberate UNLESS it was the cleanest and most eye catching car of the lot with the other cars not worth a bother.
Be careful.
Any CCTV perhaps?
