I don't understand some people...
I've seen cars keyed, panels kicked in and windows smashed at dealers...

"They shoot horse thieves round these parts, pilgrim"...delivered in a John Wayne drawl...
Many years ago when we bought our GT Cortina off a second hand lot, the very next night every single car in the dealership was keyed badly...we were lucky. |

A peed off customer perhaps or a brain dead moron with nothing better to do?

A fitting tribute would be to key their faces leaving permanent scars.
How do you teach scum like this?

Where was the rent a cops that Hyundai and other dealers employ to patrol the yards?
This act of vandalism would have occurred over quite a time period, amazing isn't it.... |

OR possibly a rather overdue floor plan payment.
I suspect this will be investigated rather deeply as, unless it was a random act of stupidity gone VERY wrong, the culprits will have left a trail. |

I would say that this is just the Logan hoodlums doing their thing, That whole area had already gone down hill (slacks creek, woodridge, Logan, Logan holme, etc etc) and now it is 100% scumville. This has been going on for the better part of a decade now, and it has gotten substantially worse since the media has jumped on it too... Those bored kids are just trying to get their 15 minutes of fame, buy out doing the other crews

Hmmmm.....When someone is sold a lemon and the dealer won't fix or replace their car then people become angry upset and make threats! Then there are those that follow them out!

Looks more like Jewish Lightning.
I bet that they were not financially viable and someone thought a payout would be a good idea.

As each year passes, I feel the human intelligence level is decreasing, and the need for a selective black plague or similar, is increasing....

It was a couple of teenagers. They were spotted on CCTV. They probably tries to steal a car and couldn't drive so decided to ruin the cars. They are so Ridiculous

Couple of years ago at the dealership I work for (before I started) had all cars tires slashed in the dealership.

Good to see they were caught.
The 3 juveniles will get little more than a warning, or a "youth conference". The 17 year old may get a conviction with a suspended sentence if he's particularly unlucky. |

The attack occurred at Slacks Creek on New Year's Day, police say. The 11-year-old boy from Goodna has been charged with wilful damage and entering a premise and committing an indictable offence. A 13-year-old Slacks Creek boy has been charged with arson, five counts of wilful damage and entering a premise with intent to commit an indictable offence. A 16-year-old Slacks Creek boy faces charges of entering a premise and committing an indictable offence. These three are being dealt with under the Youth Justice Act. A 17-year-old boy from Kingston is facing similar charges, as well as unlawful use of a motor vehicle. He is due to appear in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on February 1.
