Right across the hood. Not to the bare metal but it still hurts to look at it. I was getting ready to give her the weekly wash-n-wax and there it was...the mark of a jealous hoodlum. I hope some necrotizing (sp) flesh eating bacteria attacks the private parts of who ever did this. Thanks for listening..i'm going to lie down.

I am so sorry this has happened to you. Siduri. That's heart-breaking.

Siduri,

I am really sorry to hear of your W126 sedan having that happen!! That must really hurt, I know it happened to me on the beautiful coupe I had. It was legally parked on a suburban street at the time

It was a world of hassle, so I hope the scratch is light enough so it can be easily repaired or touched up by a master technician. That kind of vandalism REALLY makes me mad. Hopefully the hood won't need to be repainted

Take care and remember, it could have been worse - a hit and run, with you in the car!

Jim B.

Jeez, I don't get that $h!t. What some ass thinks he's getting out of that stuff is beyond me. It's one of the only advantages in having a rig in need of a paint job. The twerps seem to seek out cherries.

some one keyed my car a few years back. it was a poc, but i found the end of the key by the drivers door!! it was also a mercedes and the key broke when they were doing it!!! karma i guess.

Dirty bastards.


Not to hijack your thread or steal your thunder but along the same lines....Somone stole my hood star last week. I suppose when I get another one (like I needed that extra cost with what I have to do to the car) I will get the purposefully removable kind.

I'm sorry that happened to you. Do they really make a hood ornament that is removeable and not by the blade of a thug?

They do indeed.

Honestly, I am surprised it took almost three years for someone to swipe it. However, it is nowhere near as bad as someone keying your car.

If you do a search there was a thread about this, and someone found a source for hoodstars for $20 or less, IIRC. I know, its still money but for a benz that is pretty cheap.

Somebody keyed my BLACK MB last year. Luckily it buffed out.

My cars have never been keyed,but I know of a very sad story of a brand new 330CI.It was keyed and the tires were cut.The car was keyed all around,there was no helping that car.Only a repaint.I dont know what the owner did with the car though.

If it's not to the metal, it may be saved. I have saved a few key jobs with a careful application of 1500 grit and buffing.
