So as the story goes, some tool keyed my car (pretty deep, to the primer) right in front of the clubs brilliant security who didn't stop him.
Either way there is about 30 cameras pointed pretty much towards my car. So what is the legality of getting the security footage?
And thanks to the new ID scanning system they implemented up here I'll have a name in no time...
However whether the cops will do anything is a who knows.
Why do scumbags have to key a car?!?!
/rant
Sorry I'm just pissed off...
Have u reported it to the cops?
I would think they would look at the footage and press chargers if they get the Cu***

Cause people do stupid things at nite clubs, especially when leaving it after having a good night. Bouncer ant do much outside, unless its their car park as well. You sure u didnt dance with his missus ?
This is why you shouldn't drive to venues like this. Report it and see what happens, about all you can do.
yeah dude, thats pretty dogged, i had my car keyed out the front of my house, luckily enough i have security cameras that cought the bloke, went from indicator to indicator, too bad that yours was outside a night club and you dont know who it was... good luck finding who ever it was mate..!

sorry to hear about your car mate, but the clubs security aren't there to look after your car they are there to look after the club so no point blaming them for your
If its got Wheels or Boobs its gonna cost ya money
At the local club near my house someone left their car in the car park overnight and caught the courtesy bus home rather than drink drive and someone burnt their car out in the car park. I have left my car there before thinking it would be ok because it is locked and has cameras.. but I was wrong.
Even in our local paper the police were asking for info.
My xbfs car was stolen and he found it the next day with a few bits missing and it was keyed (funny part- with his own keys) his window was broken and didnt wind up and he left his keys in the ignition as if it wouldnt be easy tempation for thieves, bright red, V8 VN...
Yet even without telling the cops about the keys it took them 6 hours to come out and then they just said theres nothing they can do and he had to organise a tow. There were clear fingerprints and even a randoms blanket left in the car.
I would report it and try and get them to review the tapes. I'm not sure how much luck you would have, but try anyway.
outside of clubs you also get stupid holden and ford bashers likewise that do these gutless things

Hope you get the person and they are charged.
the bouncers have no power to stop the people keying your car. if the car was on the propety then you should be able to get the tapes, if not htey can refuse you,.
not the bouncers problem.
i'd never drive to a club let alone park it at the front door.
should have reported it to the police immediately.
at worst you pay your insurance excess and have it resprayed.
Sucks what happened, but like lots of other people have said, it's a bad place to park. Anywhere in close proximity to where alcohol is served is generally a bad idea. I have a friend who parked her car near Kings Cross (for those who know Sydney) and came back to find some drunk ****wit had jumped on the roof of her car and totally caved it in.
If you're going to the police (as you should), do it ASAP, because most security systems don't keep footage for very long, and if you leave it too long it's very likely that the footage will be taped over.
Don't expect the police to put much effort into this though, because compared to the other crimes they have to deal with, this really is small fry.
As for why people key cars? Some people are ****s. I don't think there is any better explanation than that.

What's the cost on a re-spray for a VY calais? Need to wiegh up making a claim and reporting it within the next 24 hours before I go to the police.
See making a claim when I'm 18 with a pretty expensive car is going to make my insurance even worst
I own a compressor and have all the encessary attatchments but have never tried spray painting anything. Is it easy to spray at home? If so any tips to help me out?
Cheers for all the help guys, PS Custom colour suggestions? Preferrably someone with a bit of photoshop experience (just make it dodgy and don't worry about shading... Monotone FTW!) with a few different colours?
Thanks again
PS My excess is $1200... Swear insurance companys really dont like young people, no matter how much we look after and respect our cars.
lol dont bother u will make it worse mate id rather pay the extra money and get in done properly unless u have the right tools and no what u r doing .

mate there really isn't any question about it. report it. something smells awfully fishy when you are checking down every avenue before reporting it. Even with a police report you aren't obligated to follow through with insurance claims.
Keying cars is the lowest of lows in my book.
Follow it through don't let scum get away with it.
