Is this really necessary? I know Porsches are a bit Marmite to some, but to deliberately cause thousands of pounds worth of damage vandalising mine is a little OTT.
I left it parked on the street, around half a mile from my house, close to my daughters school and my office, on Friday 10th. My daughter and I did not fancy sitting in traffic for half an hour and therefore walked home. It's exercise, even if the diesel fumes clog up your throat.
It was dark when I picked it up on Saturday 11th. I noticed it drove funny, but as it only took a few minutes, I thought nothing of it intending to take a look Sunday afternoon. Sunday morning i noticed two flat tyres and a Zorro across the side. It seems it was sprayed with paint stripper then scratched with something which was sharp and metallic. It's not a simple 'keying'.
Personally, I think it was deliberate and targeted. Particularly due to the use of the paint stripper, which had only the effect of removing the protective coating and the clearcoat on the bodywork, the mirror housing looks melted by comparison. I don't have any enemies I'm aware of, other than my ex-wife, and she'd be too pissed on a Friday night for that.
I can't even be bothered to get angry. I think I'll just leave it like that.
This is what it used to look like:
