it happened in a indoor shopping center in Watford, dont know whether it is worth contacting the center and see if anything is on camera.
the pics arent very clear but it is worse than the pics show

I do find it strange that only a small area has been damaged, you'd normally expect the moron/s to go down the whole side? Could it have been some abject carelessness with a trolley or similar rather than a vindictive attack.

To me that looks like a bag has scraped against it when someone was sorting them selves out, or a buckle on a coat, seems too small and irratic to be a purposeful attempt at keying!

Doesn't take away the fact that your lovely paintwork is ruined, but i know i would prefer to think it was accidental!

Isnt it a shame that the world we grace is full of mindless idiots with little respect.

I feel for you sara, dont let it get you down though! (offering advice i never seem to take).

Get the camera footage if their is any... find the reg of their car... track them down and hand them the bill.

'LittleKnocks' Repair Centre

They should be able to sort this out with minimum expenditure.

Hope you get a result from the CCTV

there are about 4 scrapes. it looks like it was done slowly as the lines are broken and jagged. definately not done by accident.

i called the Harlequin and spoke to security. they tell me that the cameras only do swoops, they are not fixed in one position.they told as they can look at the footage if i call the police. the police are now looking into it. i was only there for 2 hours. looks like i will have to get it fixed myself

Was your daughter with you?.

I use the harlequin carpark all time, both kings and queens in various cars and have never had any problems. Nice big parking spaces there to.
