My Car Was Keyed. What to Do?

[dale323]

Sir Jut, try mo na lang tignan yung mga promo's and offer sa ensogo,metrodeal and cashcashpinoy. May nakita ko dati na 3 step detailing which is much better that rubbing compound. Tsambahan nga lang yun. Regading sa parking.... no comment na lang. mahirap na, baka tanungin pa ko kung gaano katagal na ako nagd-drive.

[skybison]

Kun labas na ang primer or metal, malalim na yan.

pansamantagal/tipid/tamad approach (para hindi kalawangin)

Buy a spray paint matching your color, spray sa cap nito, use toothpick (kagatin yun dulo para kumalat ala brush - depende sa need) then dutdutan na!

My two cents.

*TS, pwede din yan kapitbahay mo na naka corolla sa "Don't you just love those who park stupidly thread" :P

[jut703]

Tapat parin ba ng bahay niyo yun pinaparadahan nung Altis mo diyan sa picture?

If so, ayos lang na andyan ka. Ganyan din sa village namin sa QC, kasama ko mga congressman dun sa village kaya malamang hanggang kalsada mga sasakyan nila sa dami

May mga taong masyado lang talaga mapilit. Kala mo perpekto sila kung maka kumento. Makikita mo sila rin tarantado sa kalsada.

Yup, yung green gate/brown wall yung bahay namin. Sa village din ng tita ko, kastreet niya kasi si Bistek. Yung mga Innova niya nakapark sa labas. Kakatukin ko nga pag napabisita ako, tatanungin ko kung ilang taon na siya nagmamaneho

Yeah, right! Ilang taon ka na ba nagd-drive? Saang driving school ka ba nag-enroll? Ito na nga ba sinasabi ko sa mga driving schools eh, tinuturuan lang nilang magpaandar ng kotse mga estudyante nila...

Tsaka sabagay, dahil village yan malamang may sarili kayong mundo dyan. Better talk to your assoc pres about the matter.

Teka, pareho ba kayong nakasampa sa sidewalk? Talagang gumawa ka pa ng yellow-black stripe na pang harang, anu yan nabili mo rin yung kalsada sa tapat ng bahay nyo?

If you bothered to backread before ostentatiously commenting, you'd know that the cemented part in the picture isn't a sidewalk. It was previously a small plot of land with grass on it, which we then converted to a patch of cemented pavement so I can park the car outside while minimizing the intrusion I'll be making on the street.

With regards to the yellow and black markers, you'd clearly see that it was placed on the said patch of cement, not on the street itself. Never have I claimed that the street was ours and that it was my right to claim it.

And, squirting brake fluid to other people's car is different from parking in the streets. Parang ganito lang yan eh, pag binato ka ng bato, batuhin mo ng 2 tinapay at isunod mo yung bato...

As far as I know, the concept of an "eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" has long been eschewed by civilized human societies and has not been considered as a proper moral standard since the time of the Code of Hammurabi. I've no intention to argue any further with anyone who continues to operate on such a barbaric paradigm.

Natakot ako sa comment mo bro, tiningnan ko uli, buti wala pa namang bakal na lumitaw. Hassle pag inabot ng kalawang eh.

Wag na sis, baka matanong pa ko kung ilang taon na ko nagdadrive.

[jut703]

I've confirmed that it wasn't a deliberate attempt by an upset neighbor. While I was taking a jog, I noticed that several other cars on our street were keyed too. A silver brand new gen 10.5 Altis 1.6G (front quarter and 2 doors), a red gen 2 CR-V (front quarter and 2 doors), and a green ES Civic VTi (2 doors and rear quarter). Didn't have a phone with me so I couldn't take pics. And baka isipin nila ako pa may gawa nun hahahaha.

Ewan ko lang bakit yung Ford Explorer at yung W204 C200 Kompressor ng ibang kapitbahay namin, hindi pinatos. Baka kasi cheap daw yung mga sasakyan namin, hindi deserving na magpark sa street. :rofl:

[lowslowbenz]

TS, pakabit ka na din ng cctv camera sa labas ninyo para kapag naulit alam mo kung sino. madami kasing tao di alam ang salitang pinaghirapan e kaya may ganyan.

The best solution! You may want to add motion detector triggered flood lights.

Ang tanong ngayon, part ba ng property nyo yung cemented part na tinutukoy mo?

And the best solution here is park in your own garage...Otherwise, dadami pa yang gasgas sa kotse mo, it's either your car or your neighbor's car...

Yes, it is.

[Starex_Gold]

Yes, it is.

Ayun naman pala eh, at ilang taon ka na bang nagmamaneho? :hysterical:

Sorry di ko lang mapigilan.

[dr. d]

Yup. Shame on me. And practically everyone around us.

"It has always been my opinion, that one should not be allowed to purchase a car if one does not have a garage for it, off the street."



Because they have 3 cars, and they only park 1 inside their garage (that could fit 2 if they decide to remove the cabinets taking up space).

"Ha! sabi ko na nga ba!"



Funny how this thread has gone way off topic, from possible fixes of scratches to reprimand for not enough garage space. :dance1:

well, you opened the can of worms when you hinted that the "keying" could have been traceable to parking problems..

[shadow3616931]

I said this before now I say it again, those who don't have garage shouldn't be allowed to get a car.

Kelan kaya maisasabatas ito... para tuloy natutuwa pa ko pag may nagagasgasan o nananakawan ng side mirror dahil nasa labas lang nakaparada auto nila.

Pag umaatend ako meeting ng homeowners yan parati nirereklamo ko.

In all residential areas I've been to, be it here or in another country, street parking has never been disallowed. After all, as long as residents park in an orderly and considerate manner (i.e. no double parking and taking into account others' driveways), it harms nobody and benefits a lot of people.

Street parkers are well aware that their cars are more exposed to harm than if they were placed in a garage, which is why I'm sure most people would want to have one if they could. Not everyone gets to live in a vast plot of land though, especially in the metro.

As to having an actual law that prohibits street parking in residential areas? Haha, good luck with that. Even the most exclusive subdivisions in our country are filled with cars parked on the streets.

OT

naku sir, kapag nagka-batas ng ganyan dito sa pilipinas, wala ng magpapagawa ng mga kalsada naten.

mga koreans at japanese, ang business nila ay sasakyan, kapag wala ng bumili ng kanilang mga sasakyan, wala na rin magdo-donate para magpagawa ng kalsada at tulay.

[Bin Diesel]

Yes, it is.

TS tanong lang, labas na ng gate ninyo yung paking area mo diba? papaano naging part ng property ninyo yun?

[jut703]

Kasi yung wall ng bahay namin, hindi sagad dun sa road. Even if we could've had it built na sagad, nag-iwan lang kami ng maliit na space. Dati halaman yung nandun, pero sinementohan na nga.

Wala kasing sidewalk samin, so hanggang street level talaga yung mga bahay ng mga tao

sa pagkakatingin ko kasi sa picture parang kapantay naman ng ibang bakod at gate yung sa inyo. ganun kasi dati naming bahay e may part sa tapat ng bakod namin na halamanan pero di na yun part ng bahay namin.

para sa gasgas ng kotse mo try mo gumamit ng nano sil pero dapat may rotary buffer but before that gamit ka muna scratch out para mawala yung mga burrs dahil sa susi.
ganyan lang kasi ginawa ko sa kotse ko nung kaskasin naman ng pusa yung hood.

We confirmed with the village authorities and they did say na amin yun

Thanks for the advice, wala akong buffer so most likely papagawa ko sa labas :D

Agree, downtown Boston is lined with street parking in front of apartments. Singapore is the same, parking in front of their home, street parking is legal.

Yup ganun na nga but bakit nag-lagay pa kayo ng barricade or sign na "no parking" sa tapat ng bahay niyo?

[stickers]

change the sign to "Reserved Parking Slot.. (Akin ito, P*ta wag makulit!)"
