My post about your saying "Key Point" was addressing the guy using the point of a key to damage a car.

I had my first good car and someone slammed a cart into it. And I always parked in the back 40.
I would report it, as it is wrong to damage someones vehicle on purpose. Not to mention childish. I would probably just tell the driver of the vehicle though. Let them work it out as adults. If he needed me to be a witness if the keyer acted like a jerk, I would. We pay too much and work to hard for our ride. Now if you have a beater rest assured, no one bothers. Ive noticed when I drove beaters, no one parks by me. | |

One morning I came in and found my racked shoes missing. I thought I may have misplaced them since I was tired the day before. Turns out a preloader came in that morning, was raining, and borrowed my shoes. I was livid and demanded my shoes back. Then I realized that I didn't want to put my feet back in these shoes after he funkdafied them. I told the preload supe and within a week he bought me a new pair of the same shoes and apologized to me for his transgression.

And well they should
Even napoleon knows that
But us regular folks
Who might wear a tennis shoe
Or an occasional python boot
Know this exquisite little inconvenience by the name of:
Stink foot
Y’know, my python boot is too tight
I couldn’t get it off last night
A week went by, an’ now it’s july
I finally got it off
An’ my girl-friend cry
"you got stink foot! stink foot, darlin’
Your stink foot puts a hurt on my nose!
Stink foot! stink foot! I ain’t lyin’,
Can you rinse it off, d’you suppose? "

I really wish it would have been my truck he keyed. My truck is about 20 years old and has a rear bumper that would have made ground beef out of his new "plastic-mobile".

But the destruction of any body's personal property I find appalling. I did not have anything to do with how this played out. I'm only a bystander. I wanted to know how the general consensus in this forum was.... and I think it's clear. no one has the right to damage anyones personal property. Even yours! my question to you is would you stand up for the victim? | |

I would rat someone out if I saw them damaging someone's property. I've come to my car at the end of the day to noticed many dings including a front license plate/bumper completely against my rear bumper!! Not to mention the one time I had finally come to terms with driving my Wife's Oldsmobile Alero (she got the new car which I traded my baby for) only to find a huge dent on the DS rear fender. It was so bad when I drove over bumps the metal would cut into my tire, I had to hammer that crap in!!!! I have a couple of friends that have had worse damage...

Perhaps the person that owned the car slept with his wife or got his teenage daughter pregnant or pissed in his cornflakes.
I think before I turned him in I would ask why he did it and maybe give him a chance to admit to what he did and fix the problem himself

Doesn't matter what the reason is. There are better ways to deal with that type of anger than destroying private property. That type of anger needs professional help. IMO

I would have called him on it immediately and first of give him the chance to do the right thing. If not than i would report him to security/lp.
As you all know i am a steward and have pissed off more than several sups, so i have had to replace my tires several times. I cant prove who did it but i have some real good ideas.
And if this guy was off the clock when this happened he will most likely get his job back, depending on the relationship between the union and ups.
