Pics of the Range Rover, and a story...

Here is a pic I took last night while out to eat.



right before this picture was taken, two slacker early 20 somethings decided to park their behinds against the passenger side of my RR, flick ash on it from their cigarettes and push their backpack zippers into the paint... I was about 5 feet away from them. I got up and asked them not to and they had the nerve to get mad and threaten to cause more damage... I said go ahead, lots of video cameras and witnesses around here. They walked away calling me names etc... Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

and another pic from the DQ parking lot monday night.

Am I missing something? I don't see any kind of damage from the pictures, but maybe I'm just not looking in the right spots...

Yes, you are...

lower pic is from monday night, before damage occurred. first pic was after the kids leaned against the side with their backpacks, but this is an iPhone camera, not the highest resolution, and not intended to show any damage. The actual scratches are very small, thankfully, and would be hard to capture with the iPhone. If you really want me to I suppose I can go get the real camera and try to capture them for you.

It is admitted by all that he was much addicted to women, as well as very expensive in his intrigues with them, and that he debauched many ladies of the highest quality; among whom were Posthumia, the wife of Servius Sulpicius; and Lollia, the wife of Aulus Gabinius.

Perhaps I should have pulled a gun and capped their asses as a message to anyone else considering doing the same thing...

You risk the bullets hitting the car and causing further damage. Bludgeoning would be the appropriate action.
