Thanks guys! You made me feel better! ;-)

My assistant convinced the building to install a camera on top of my car just to watch that. The current camera did not get my parking spot angle. This did not happen to my 996 TT, Boxster S or Cayenne Turbo in the last 7 years in the same reserved spot, how come the *** hole knew I just got this car? The security guard says it must be somebody who knows me, who didn't want to cause a lot of trouble, but just enough. But that's paranoia...

Yeah, that's a real good one to keep in mind. So, when in your Porsche always put on your humility, courtesy, and general good citizenship skills. Gee, so would the world be better off if everyone drove a .....nahhhhh. (No commercial tie-in intended.)

While I understand your frustration. And there is no excuse.

I just have to point out that if that's the worse thing that happens to you today, then you're lucky.

Now go get ahold of that survallence tape and nail the guy's *** to the wall.

Building already installed one camera the next day without any cost! Just looking at my car, and they will also install a more visable 2nd one and I will pay the cost, good building management I say.

Nothing came from the tapes since the other camera was not looking at my car, and no I didn't get anything for my assistant because he assisted me, but I take care of him don't worry! ;-)

Unplated cars tend to draw attention esp since it's a 997 cab. That's both good and bad dep on what kind of attention you get....

Sorry to hear about what happened. If that happened to me and I found out who did it I would have them kidnapped. Does anybody have a security camera in their car?

To bad it didn't have a trunk monkey. See http://www.bmwz8.us/movies/TrunkmonkeyAd.mpeg.

I have a different version that's even better. Can someone host?

It makes perfect sense. One of these days you will identify this low life.

To those of you who asked "did you cut someone off?" what difference does that make? Unless you are being obnoxious if you accidentally cut someone off this gives them the right to damage your car? I only bring this up because when my car was keyed many asked the same question and also suggested that as Porsche car drivers we need to be more humble. What does that mean? When you drive a $90K+ car most people will make certain assumptions no matter how you act.

If someon cust you off accidentally your instant reaction might be to curse but if 5 mintues later you damage someone's car you are an a$% with anger issues.
