They have capital punishment for vandals. I've had both my cars vandalized.
Fortunately they were both in rather poor condition and didn't have new
paint or anything but the dings and broken glass, ripped top, ect. For the
sheer "fun" off it has me fuming every time I think of it. For some reason
cars in not so good condition seem to be fair game too.

Subject: RE: Dings on daily drivers - and deliberate vandalism
in the Washington, D.C. area, where I live, it's not unusual for cars to be
deliberately scratched with a key, often for no apparent reason.
convertible tops get slashed for the same reason (not, apparently, for
theft). And, generally, the more expensive the car, the more likely it is to
happen.
this generally does NOT seem prompted by a poor job of parking, or
retaliation ... it's just random acts of vandalism.
I'm curious if this happens in other places.
