Vandalized
For everyone in the Manteca area or just words of caution in general. Be EXTRA careful. My friends/family and I came up to the conclusion that they seem to be targeting the car, as I haven't pissed anyone off that i know of.
This last Friday while out to dinner i had my garage broken into car was keyed heavily and spray painted black. Called the police they really didn't give a crap, I just got the "ohh well send a few patrols around the area." They took no pictures, nothing. So i went out and bought some metal security doors and installed them this weekend.
Called insurance company, $100 deductible to get it all fixed so hopefully they do a good job with it....

I was really pissed and frustrated when it first happened but a bit better not, not much i can do about it. At least she gets a new paint job etc. I am just hoping they do a decent job. My insurance company had me drop the car off at the Manteca auto plaza. Anyone know of the quality they produce there?
Nothing was stolen, other things were spray painted but not nearly as bad such as an older semi junk tv the doors a little bit of the wall but not much. "***" was written on the trunk of the car but that is about it. It had deep scratch marks all over and covered in spray paint as you can see. Rims, roof, spoiler, trunk everything. Luckily they didn't break any windows or manage to get inside the car.
I Live a couple blocks west of the Orchard Supply on Louise/Main street.

100 bucks to get it all fixed looking brand new? So wine did you a favor. Get the estimates done then have them write the heck to a shop of your choice. Buy a bunch of upgraded stuff and enjoy

Yep, in our own garage they broke through the side garage door it seems so we put up a new metal security door over that one.

Seems like it was organized. They did it when you were at dinner. If they knew this they would have no problem breaking down the door(if you were home you would def hear that). They took the time to get every fender with a key and paint( if it were random they woudnt take there time)
It seems waaay to harsh to be random

Well my insurance(AAA) recommended I take it to this shop and 100% guarantees the work done and told me if I don't like it I can get it done how I want. I am going to call the shop in the morning to find out whats up. It is the government motors dealership across the street from Wal-Mart on main street.
I am also wondering what they are going to do about the wheels. I know they where stock but i don't even know if you can get them anymore? Because they where banged and spayed up as well. Even tho i had planned on replacing them soon.
Yes, it did seem organized, and most the other paint was probably just to rub it in it seemed. I had two dogs in the house at the time who where more than likely going nuts while it was happening. I am tempted to set up a hidden cam and monitor it.
But I cant exactly complain about all these repairs I'm getting for $100 especially since the insurance adjuster said it would not be marked against my insurance since it was vandalism. What really got to me tho was the lack of interest by the police department. Even someone coming out taking a picture or two and a couple scribbles on a piece of paper would have satisfied me.
And on a side note I really miss driving my car... this Mazda6 hertz gave me courtesy of my insurance doesn't cut it... lol

Talk to your insurance company and see if they will give you money to get new rims as those are old and outdated as far as oem replacement goes. Manteca PD sucks... I've been pulled over by them and harassed almost every single time. One of the charger cops was actually really nice and understood everything. GL

Let em try that in my garage...They'll be meeting my pit bull.
That does suck, at least you will get a new paint job out of it, and for only $100.
I have seen used stock rims like yours on other sites (naioc).
