    If that were my baby... the police better find him before I would. Sounds like jealousy.

    This kind of stuff is becoming common. When I owned Porsches someone came through our neighborhood and vandalized only Porsches. They egged one of mine causing severe damage to the paint. Once I had my car cleaned I drove around notifying the other owners I could find. We all pitched in and helped each other clean the the cars that were egged.

    Better than biting someone's face off -- and I'm not making a joke here.

    It's just a car. It can be made whole again.

    Woman? The video saw who it was and it was a guy. Lots of random cases of vandalism in the UK from the have nots. I'd be pissed that the shop just left my car outside for this to happen, even if it was a fenced yard.

    I have anxiety attacks wherever I leave my 612 in the uk. That's why I love Vegas and the us in general, mostly people would want to know how you managed to get one than get arsey that you did

    You have to be careful here too but doubt some guy's going to jump the fence into a shop's yard and start hacking away at a car like that? Not too many places here would think of leaving a car like that out for starters and inviting possible nut cases.

    I think that's one of the primary reason's for Europe's economic woes. Especially in the UK, wealth is always associated with low IQ celebrities and footballers and not businessmen. You need more Richard Bransons and less David Beckham and Jordans. It creates a population of unmotivated and jealous people.

    The police asked me if there could be anyone who has a grudge against me but the garage is miles from my home. “No one would have known it was my car.

    Notice the owner never answers the cops question about a grudge against him.

    Branson doesn’t have much of a stellar performance and history. He is more likely to have his cars inflicted with the same pain the Ferrari in the picture has.
    The unwinding of financial-system leverage in the U.S. catalyzed by the Lehman failure is what set off the necessary ripples to eurozone . If we were to blame anyone.

    Branson has more than his fair share of trust companies in the Islands to minimize his tax bill to the UK

    I don’t think has the compassion or interest to regulate a nations economy while putting his priorites first.
