Default 350Z vandalised - Egging shattered my paint

Hi guys,

This weekend my 350Z had an egg thrown at it which shattered the paint next to the door handle, as shown in the pics. I've been reading about eggings a fair bit lately so this is turning into some sort of strange epidemic.

I thought I'd post up pics to raise awareness of this problem. I'm told that this damage is typical of an egging. The egg contents washed right off, but the impact was enough to do this - paint has been shattered all the way through to the primer:







Cheers.

Insurance claim.


It's why you pay your premium.

qft. most vandalism cases will not effect your premium cost either, my gf just had her tires(2) slashed and her paint knifed a bit, to the tune of 750$, no rate changes. use your insurance. dont let them milk you for years.. get some of it back

That was me, sorry...

I started to feel sick so I spit it out.

I walked probably about ten feet, then I puked on this one dude's car. I tried rubbing it off with my jeans, but I guess I only scratched his hatch.

Sorry to hear about your blantant disregard of private property. Just another case of tall poppy syndrome. Hope you find those people and wring their necks.

I've had my vehicle victimised and its never a pleasant experience. Go the way of insurance and hopefully youll have you car restored.

rofl I know a guy who was bragging how he is going to vandalize his own car and get a brand new paint job. Long story short someone taped him vandalizing it and sent it in to his insurance.

You shoulda seen the guys face when he was charged with fraud

sadly even if you caught the person in the act they are most likely a minor and you'd suffer some serious consequences for beating the **** out of them.
