Now that is strange. Your neighbors went on Holiday or vacation and then this happened. It almost sounds like someone KNEW they went or at least were going, doesn't it? And it sure sounds like it was someone with a grudge to me. Usually when kids trash a car, they'll scratch it, throw paint on it, put graffitti on it, but throwing paint remover (?) sounds really suspicious. And who walks around with paint remover? Weird stuff. Did anybody else in the neighborhood have their car trashed? Here's a question for you, these neighbors didn't argue with the psycho woman you're having problems with, did they? I feel so sorry for the people on Holiday, what a thing to come home to. But I would probably do the same thing I guess, and wait until their vacation is over. And I for one, LOVE Jeeps.

Hello both of you No she has nothing to do with it I can not see her getting up early hours and also she has no grudge with them if she was going to go after a car it would have been mine

Great minds think alike Barbara, lol! That was my first impression when I read this. And Gabs has had people come to her aid when this woman was arguing with her. I wonder if these neighbors are one's that have helped her out. It's just toooooooo weird that they go on vacation and this happens all of a sudden. It still sounds to me like someone knew.

hi gabs, I think it must have been someone they know.. did they make someone mad at them? or is someone jealous of them ? People are jerks.. i dont know why.. they just are.. and it seems the more ppl in the world, the more jerks there are lol we should at least have a limit of the number of jerks per square meter in the world... grr.

Sad to say that some 'cretin's in society don't need a reason to inflict misery, pain and suffering on others, to them it's just a joke and they can stick two fingers up at the law because if they get caught, a big if mind you they'll get let off! Society just gets worse.

Sweetie, that sounds like paint stripper to me. Probably kids who has nothing better to do. It is going to damage the car even further if not attended immediately. TATA.

Oh my! What a terrible thing to return home to! I've never understood someone destroying another's property, for malicious reasons or revenge, whatever. I do hope your friends have insurance that will cover the damage and I hope they catch the culprit. You've done all you can by reporting it to the police and like you, I don't think I'd ruin their vacation by telling them now, since there's nothing they can do about it from where they are.

I can only guess that it is either somebody with a grudge (like that nasty lady with the dog) or stupid teenagers who think this sort of thing is funny..

Either this is an act of spoiled child or some psychotics. Children at times are all nuts. Just unmanageable. But the way the car was done away with I do not think this is an act of children. I suspect some rivalry that your neighbour had with some and they had the most of their absence. Why the ruinous lots? could not you handle the issue face to face? And what is this that you all strip the car? Your neighbour would surely get the insurance benefit but what about the frequenting to the concerned departments? I would hang such people if could get hold of them.

it sounds like someone was having it out for your friend and knew when they would be gone on vacation. I would at people that knew her or people in her neighbor hood that knew she wa son vacation. Start with teenagers around the area. Usually those are the people that know about how chemicals will react with each other. It's highly unlikely it's an older person. as if you ask me, an older person would do more than just put something on the side of there car to take the paint off of it. That's highschool drama if you ask me. Also sounds like pay back. sorry to hear that your neighbors are going to have a h*** of a fight to fight when they get back home. good luck.

Hi Crysontherocks I to think it is someone who knew they where away, it happened between 1-6am and it is so strange how it happened 2 Days after they left I just can not understand why People have to be like that
@lacieice (2060)

Since it seems that it happened right after they left, it seems like someone who knew they would be gone. Since it was some kind of a chemical, I'm wondering if maybe the car should be hosed off to prevent further damage? Hubby and I went out to get in the car the other day and found eggs all over it. Why? I have no idea who did it. Probably bored kids. They also stuck gum on the side and it took the finish off. No one respects anothers property anymore.

Hi Lacieice I to believe it would have been someone who knew they are away There is no point hosing the car down as the damage can not get any worse also we are not touching the car because the Police will want to take a proper look It is terrible I just can not believe that someone can do this

Hi Gabs, sadly that is society for you, it has degenerated, mind you the government has got to be blamed for this, unemployment and a weak justice system that has no deterrant to stop these crimes from happening, people think it's funny, it's a joke, well it's sick, it's not the work of animals, it's the work of brainless idiots who have nothing better to do with their time. You did the right thing NOT to call them, although it will still hit them hard when they return. No doubt the police couldn't do much, I responded to a similar discussion in that thefts of £20 or less are NOT to be reported, with this sort of attitude is it any wonder that criminals are given the green light to inflict destruction and mindless violent acts in society today?

We have had a lot of vandalism at our lovely parks in town this year and it is sad. I am guessing that whoever did this does not even know your neighbor, but is out messing up cars all over town. I doubt they would go around and do damage to plants and other things. It seems like vandals have their own particular choice. Some damage parks, some damage cars, some tear up mail boxes. They just go on a binge and do it all over town. I am looking to see what happened when your neighbor got back. Hopefully they had insurance.

Was the car parked in the street or in their private drive? Could psycho woman have thought it was your car? Or, as mentioned above, is this the neighbor who backed up your story?

Some people are too jealous to make damages like that. Or maybe,there are youths who made fun with the car. Whatever the reason is,it is not really funny and good. It is somewhat a disturb behavior to do so. I also can't understand why people done bad things to other people's property. I can't understand what kind of attitude does anyone had like that,or,is there any happiness on them by doing harm to others? One thing i knew,there is always good and bad in every person. It is our choice to choose one,be a good person or be a bad one. Have a wonderful weekend
