As some have already read I had by little baby keyed the other day but only noticed it yesterday afternoon, We have a suspicion about who the guy is and i sent an email last night about the situation to the police and not long afterwards had a reply.... Well i have just got off the phone to the police after making a formal report and complaint about the situation and i have been told that it will be sent to a officer who will deal with the report and it could also be put in the local paper to appeal for witness's...........This could be good as i think mine is the only 44 in Congleton unless anyone knows any different(and you cant really miss a white 944).

But i just wanted to keep you all up to date, i have to find out if the local shop has cctv and get an estimate for the damage to the rear quarter........

Watch this space :D

Sad that people feel the need to key cars, I was walking to mine and almost every car I walked past on the way had massive key marks down them and I got a sinking feeling. Luckily mine was on the other side of the road and all the other cars with it remained untouched.

I've already had somebody jump on the bonnet and had a new one fitted. Kept it washed and waxed almost constantly before that happened and since then I've not bothered and just left it filthy and it hasn't been touched since. Moving to a place with secure parking next month so will get it sparkling again.

Hope you get somewhere with yours.

So sorry to hear what's been happening - don't know what I'd do in your situation. My thoughts go out to you.

Hope you catch whoever dunnit! :evil:

From fellow white 944 owner...

well thanks guys, as for the 44 i did take a few pics but with Bumble being whits they havent come out too well so i may end up making a short vid. I should also be having an officer come to view the car and speak to me over the situation but as of yet not heard a thing.

It just really does my head in that they do this but all being well i will have the little Twat done for it. But its just put the whole respray back now cause i will have to have this fixed, i feel this need now to leave her dirty so it doesnt show so much. But i have the feelers out with a few people from work who live not far from where the incident took place so i am keeping mt fingers crossed.
