Default Vandalism

Someone vandalized my Shadow Aero on day 3 of ownership.

It was parked inside the fence in the parking garage at our gated complex. Is it just me, or does this seem personal?

Vandalized is a broad term. WTH did they do?

could be personal but it needn't be..lot's of idiots around these days, usually losers without a pot to piss in, they just can't help themselves..

as it is a new bike you must have insured it, and because it was in a secure compound you will be covered..

its always personal when someone vandalizes something in my opinion. some one is always gonna be affected regardless of what was being vandalized so that makes it personal...its childish and stupid and it is something that p1$$es me off when its done around my town.
did you contact the popo's? get pics and ask around the neighborhood to see if anyone seen anything..hope you and or police find the little bass turds who did it.

Sorry that happened to you man. I can only imagine how frustrating that is. Hope you find the @$$ Hole/s that did it. Are there any surveillance cameras where you keep her parked?

Dave.

Sorry to hear. Pretty sad state of affairs. Worse part is that if they find em they won't do jack. Good luck, hope you got plenty of good insurance.

Sorry to hear that, especially as I live in the same State and probably not too far from you. I can't imagine why someone would randomly vandalize your bike. You mention that it might have been intentional, is there something that makes you think that?

Sorry to hear that. It’s happened to a few times over the years and recently with my truck in a store parking lot. They keyed it. I was lucky in that they keyed the decal and I was able to replace it. I always do a lot on mods to my vehicles and I imagine it’s mostly due to jealousy that they mess with it. Bunch of losers as far as I’m concerned.

Chances are it ISN'T personal, then again we don't know you. Punk kids, a drunk, random dufus, the options are endless.
