When I was in the process of buying my first mercedes (84 300D), I met a real German (from Germany) mechanic and paid him to evaluate the car for me. The car was mostly fine, but he should have caught a few things that anyone whose spent time on these cars should have been able to point out. Like the broken thermostat. I ended up buying the car. He called me afterwards offering his services. He warned me that I could royally screw the pooch on the transmission if even one speck of dirt got in there during a filter change. I declined since I've basically always done routine maintenance and more on my own vehicles and his rates were really high. Coincidentally, sometime that night my car got egged. No evidence, no witnesses. I noticed it right away so it didn't hurt the paint luckily.
Some Germans just can't take nein for an answer.

heh, I was at wallyworld tonight, and parked next to one of those "sorta" pickups with the covered bed... chevy big zf fancy model. with a big set of dangles on the mirror... anyway, pretty truck, but the goof parked dead center and crooked on two parking spaces really near the front of the lot... I looked at it, and just sighed... he'll probably have no issues with keying or anything, pure respect from the wally world crowd.

In my opinion, besides the psycho ex's, the quickest way to get keyed is by being inconsiderate (not saying you were though!). Here in Los Angeles where parking is often competitive, people squeeze their pimped-out Hummers into "compact" parking spots or simply occupy two spots. Parking properly and not pissing people off where they can follow you to where you park can be great deterrents. Then sadly there are those who see something pretty and feel the power in deflowering it. I call these people "clients" (I'm a therapist).

No idea who it was. Love to find them and duct tape them to a tree during mosquito season.
