berem: And this topic made front page? Which kind topic be this? "How pikin take write A,B,C for car" WTF!

Lord_Reed: I had two eyes and a nose drawn on the side of my car.

yomtolly: Yes, the boy was even happy to tell me that "mummy I'm helping u to write your name on your car" infact I was dumbfounded & angry, I didn't know if I should beat him because he didn't even know what he did was bad.

Siena:

If he's not suitably punished, he won't know it's bad, and will do it again and again, probably not just to your own car either.

Siena: If a child between the ages of 4 - 13 scratched my car, then their parents would get a repair bill, it's that simple. They would have to cover the cost of a respray, and any other expenses, such as the hire of a car, while mine's being fixed.

If my kids scratched a car belonging to someone else, I would do the responsible thing - punish my kids severely, and pay damage costs. If they scratched my car, they'd be punished, forfeit their treats, and the repair cost will be deducted from their pocket money.

aariwa: the solution lies in buying a tarpoulin to cover ur car where ever u may park it may sound funny but thats the solution.

begwong:

Mine was a terrible one. My company gave me a brand new official car a Toyota Yaris dark blue color just that very day that i was driving it home, along grammar school bus stop in Ojodu area of lagos, i stopped by to take a bottle of cold beer only for me to come out to see a little girl hawker(about 13 years) with a nail drawing a tree and alphabets on the door of my car. Infact when i caught the girl, i beat the living day light out of her, and locked her awhile in the car, Till today whenever i see the marks i feel so bad.

This reminds me of a hilarious joke i heard from somewhere (most probably fictional sha)...

A man went to see a friend and parked his SUV outside. The car has 4x4 written by the side. A mad man passing by saw the 4x4, came nearer and made his calculations, then using a piece of metal he roughly embossed =16 on the body. The owner, when he came out was so mad with rage on seeing it and the worst part he didnt know who did it.

Another day, after respraying the car, he came to see his friend and parked the car in the same spot again. The mad man passed and saw that the =16 have disappeared. He thought to himself "Who cleaned off this my maths nah?" and he used the piece of metal and scratched =16 again and went off. This time when the owner saw it, he divised a means to avoid it happening again (thinking its little kids that use to write on the car). He now sprayed the car again and went to an artist to print =16 on a sticker which he placed next to the 4x4.

The next time the mad man saw the =16 neatly pasted next to 4x4, he said "ehen! Now you got the answer correctly" and he used the piece of metal to mark a very looong big good, nike style, from the back door to the front door... ;
