Got my car keyed in Ohio...........

Perhaps there are surveillance cameras in that parking lot.

Great Point!

They only want it reported so they can include in statistics.

My son's old Honda was stolen and stripped to the bone, they left one tire, a homemade crack pipe
and a can of beans.

My husband couldn't understand why they didn't dust the car for finger-prints like in CSI.

helmets for crime, just drugs.

Because of people like the ones who damaged OP's car.

There are some twisted pieces of humanity sharing our world.

Show them at the polls, where it counts, especially if you live in a hotbed of irrational nutjobs!

...the Sons-a-bitch-en rednecks around here have no problem running a blade down the side of anyone they disagree with.

The Republican stickers are safe because 99.9 percent of Democrats are not psycho nut-cases

The pukes are such juvenile jerks.

send the bill to the RNC. Whoever did it, does it for them.

and they are angry and violent. They will become even more violent on November 7. I'd rec taking off such things in battleground states. I know it sucks and you shouldnt have to do this, but lets be practical.

but you know I was with like minded people, and gave no thought to it. I had 3 other placards that weren't touched they were:
"World Peace, a globe with the peace sign through it, "A clenched fist & the words Union Solidarity" and "There is no freedom of religion without freedom from religion."

from the talking teevee machine

You might want to write a letter to the editor of the city newspaper too.

I don't put political stickers on my car anymore. I doubt they do any good anyway.

But it just goes to show you the hatred that is far more present in the Repuke party. Gun shots through campaign offices and swastikas painted on windows with Obama signs were here in Denver last week.

Keep us posted.

as vandalism....

Does the hotel have a security camera system? There may be video, ask the manager!

I will replace your car magnet. Send me a message and I will Fedex one to you.

And welcome to DU!!!

into DU with your offer, which I appreciate, but I don't want you to spend any money. I'm in PA, which I think is a lock for the President. I have a "I love Obamacare" bumper sticker, which I will put on the car.

Welcome to DU.

that says, "Teach respect for the earth and all living creatures" I really think it helps protect my Obama sticker. I think people are less likely to vandalize when they see the top sticker.

I hope things go better for you and it doesn't cost that much to get it painted.

What city were you in?

your insurance should cover the damage.

I would be so pissed! If only these assholes could be caught in the act and sent to jail for destroying private property!

F**King assholes.

If you haven't already.

These vandals have now convinced me to vote for Robme...



You have my sympathy.

Hiding from the death panels, or some such.

Same thing would happen here in SW PA.

Sending out good vibes to you. Insurance claim? Or is the deductible prohibitive?

I never place a permanent bumper sticker on my car. I paid good money for it and try to keep it clean and attractive.

So I always get the magnetic bumper stickers during election season. But I place the bumper sticker on the car when I get ready to drive the car somewhere and always remove it and place it inside the car, face down, when I arrive at my destination.

I do this out of concern for the very situation you experienced. Now I have neighbors who know my car and have probably seen me drive with my Obama 2012 bumper sticker. If any of them are rabid, morons they might come and vandalize my vehicle even though the "offending" bumper sticker is no where in sight.

So far, so good.

I would never damage a person's vehicle no matter what their sticker said, I don't trust the crazy repukes.

I like to keep my vehicles real clean looking anyway.

I'm a proud Pennsylvania labor Democrat who has always proudly displayed the bumper sticker/magnet and lawn signs, but not this year. The hatred on the right just scares me. It is on display within my family. My mother and her husband (I guess technically my stepfather) are building an underground survival storage closet. They have carried their handguns into my daughter's piano recital and my stepdaughter's wedding. These people are becoming unhinged with hatred. So I know I'm being prudent by not going there with the signage this year.

Its not exactly an expensive car but it is my car and I just don't trust these fucking baggers. I belong to a sort of upscale gym in the South Bay area and I constantly overhear mainly old rich guys spewing forth their Faux news talking points. I am not really worried about my car getting keyed in the gym parking lot, its probably of of the cheapest cars there. Its at the supermarket or at the mall where things are more anonymous which is where I suppose it could happen. It sucks because I DO want to say it loud that I am for Obama and I am proud, to paraphrase James Brown. But then again, I do almost want to spit on the Rmoney/Lying Ryan lawn sign I pass nearby when I walk my dog. BUT I don't because thats what they do, not us!!!

Hand paint something above it saying "This car vandalized by Haters against Obama." Leave it that way till the election.

When I see a Romney bumper sticker or lawn sign I'm likely to think something like, "You dumb bastard!" but it would never occur to me to steal or damage the sign or vandalize the car. I figure it's everyone's right to hold and express stupid, ill-informed opinions. If a GOPer similarly thinks my opinions are stupid and ill-informed, why can't I hold and express them anyhow? Do these idiots think we will change our minds because they steal our signs or damage our cars? WTF are they thinking? It baffles me.

Fortunately I live in the People's Republic of Minneapolis, where every other car (including mine) has an Obama sticker and just about every lawn in my neighborhood (including mine) has a sign expressing opposition to a couple of really heinous right-wing-inspired state constitutional amendments (making voting more difficult and outlawing same sex marriage). But If I lived somewhere less welcoming toward Democrats I'm sure I wouldn't have signs or stickers out where some asshole could wreck them. I just don't understand why this happens. What is wrong with these people?

Just think, somewhere in OH, a repig angel got his wings, or did his duty to his twisted, hateful gawd and the fascist, theocratic country the GOPig wants to bring about.

I have no tears left, no more sympathy for these hateful pieces of shit. They can't win, so they have to cheat and intimidate, just as they did in Germany 80 years ago. FUCK THEM with a concrete block.

Attacking an inanimate object because they don't have the courage to face anybody

and sadly why I will NOT put any political bumper stickers on either one of our cars. We just moved into a short term rental too that does not have a garage (old Florida Bungalow) and I won't put up a sign in my yard either. Not interested in coming out to see my tires slashed or worse.
