100 cars keyed at my local Audi dealership (NorCal)
The place where I have bought 4 new Audis was keyed on Friday night. They got all new cars..all used cars..and customers cars in for service. Someone said they caught someone as they were starting to key cars at the adjoining BMW dealership (Concord BMW). Very sad news..I say cut these guys hands off. This included an RS4, S8, Q7 and A8 cars.
News story... http://www.ktvu.com/news/18285996/de...ran&psp=news#- My sales guys says there is nothing to sell so he is going to Mexico for XMAS. I am not kidding.

Probably someone that drives an American made car, or an employee of the big three. These people are jokes, I read another news story recently of similar thing; someone was keying and slashing tires of import vehicles in a mall parking lot next to a Ford plant. Just because these companies are going under because they make inferior products doesn't give them the right to be dirt bags and ruin our nice cars! Put them in jail!!

Apparently it was a group of teenagers. Public execution is the only solution to this.

That's just horrible. A friend of mine is the manager of a local bmw dealership and virtually all the sales associates are making next to nothing as business is so slow...I can only imagine what something like this does to sales in the pipeline.

Damn the economic recession(On your manager) and damn that guy who keyed everyone's car.
Anyway, I wouldn't be that cruel and cut his hands off. Instead, I would make him paint all the cars he or she keyed, out of his own money. If he doesnt have money for the paint, I would make him work for it by painting cars in a factory where new cars are painted

This solution would only put the manufacturer in the way of further money and product loss.
