Now that I've thought about this for a while, a good stakeout sounds like a good time. A few friends, a few beers, time and nerves of steel......wait, if there is a twist at the end of this like a M Night Shyamalan movie I'm going to need to see video. Like if it's a rat from the future that you're going to run over in a few weeks and he's come to pair up with his present self to seek revenge on you before it happens...... Seriously though, keep us posted. |

You don't have an xi, do you? Those globs of CV grease on the front do seem really...abnormally large. And clean. And like a bead....which makes me also think someone really specifically put it there.
That's actually a very dangerous place to put it considering that's where your brakes are, and CV grease is some seriously tough stuff. It could completely contaminate your brake pads and cause you to have to get new ones. The CV grease in the tailpipe makes me wonder if they were thinking you would spray CV grease all over other vehicles or something. |

Get them, beat them, then dump a bucket of the same grease all over them.
I have been looking for a smart car alarm. No point investing and getting one of those beep...beep...beep...wooot...wooot...eek..eek...me ow...meow stupid car alarms. I want it so that the alarm would send me a notification to my phone when: - anything enters 50cm proximity from the car for a specific period of time - any interior activity (presence sensor) - shock sensor (someone breaks glass etc.) The system should also have cameras that allow you view images/video remotely and of course start recording once an alarm is triggered. I believe and Arduino project can do all of this, but I have no idea how to program it (I already bought a kit). |

Definitely could be someone really annoyed by how loud your car is. Especially if you're starting your car up in an underground parking structure; the exhaust note is amplified. Then add the instance that you might be purposely driving/revving in high RPMs bc you think it sounds amazing inside an enclosed area, which it does, but not to your neighbors.
Truth be told, I'd be annoyed at you too if I was your neighbor. But that's still no reason to vandalize your car. Don't fight fire with fire. Report it to the police, try to catch the guy, and respect your neighbors.

No action last night. The dash camera seems to be working well, it picked up all the folks walking in front of my car in the garage.

That's a lot more than just loud on cold starts - especially in a parking garage. When you show such disregard for your neighbors YOU create a no-win situation because the only solution to the problem is for you to modify your car or move. And it sounds like someone is working on the latter. I'm not condoning the "solution" they've chosen, but you're actually lucky they haven't chosen a more draconian approach (yet) because in less time than they've spent so far they could have done 4-5 figures in damage and it wouldn't have cost them $5.

Of course, they should still be publicly flogged for vandalising your car. The correct course would have been to formally complain about you to the property management company or strata or whoever, but I can understand where the frustration would come from. I work very early mornings, and when my asshole neighbour fires up his table saw on the patio at 8pm when I'm trying to sleep, I get pretty agitated. |

My point is this. I didn't write a note, I didn't call her up nor did I go to her house and ring her doorbell to discuss it. I resolved the problem for me. Again, I think this individual needs to suffer a similar fate to what they have bestowed upon your car, but my point is that no one is going to openly communicate with you about anything unless it benefits them. In this day and age, when a girl you've dated for whatever length of time decides she likes someone else, do you think she is going to come talk to you about it? No, she will simply stop talking to you and go on her way. |
