#$&^%# scratches on my beautiful silver '00 GT

*warning* rant incomingMy first scratch was the result of my kids handlebar grips wearing out on theends so I bought themnew ones and asked them to respect my car. They have been wonderful since. TrueI have aquired a fewscratches in parking lots. One from a ford excursion that literally hit my frontbumper on my y2k GTand had the nerve to leave it parked that way! Oh and the vandal who shot ittwice with a highpowered BB gun 4 months after I bought it, cant forget that.But a new neighbor has moved in next door to me (last year) with 4 boys.Recently they crashed theirbattery powered truck into my car and scratched it good. Along with a few othersmall ones that Ican safely blame on them. What can I do but sell my car or watch them completelydestroy it. Yes Itold my neighbor about it but how can anyone control 4 young boys?I cant expect them to pay for it, after all they are my neighbors and there isalways thepossibility one of my kids will return the favor. Im seriously considering selling my GT and getting a beater. Its either that orwatch my GT becomeone right before my very eyes.Thanks for letting me rant, off to check 8-(

That was my first thought as well. Letting their kid out of their sight like that is a darn good way to get the kid kidnapped, run over, or worse.
