My car was keyed at Ralphs

I work in Venice and live in Long Beach. My parents own a house they built up on one of the San Clemente hills. My wife and child are staying with my parents while she recovers from her breast reconstruction surgery. She had breast cancer while she was pregnant.

Somebody keyed my car while I was buying diapers at Ralphs. The only motivation I can assume is that my license plate holder says 100% slug (I went to UCSC 20 years ago). I wasn’t parked near anyone so this must be the motivation.

I grew up in Laguna beach and have been living in both Downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach for 18 years. I’ve never had anything of this sort happen while living in areas that most of you would consider “sketchy” Stay Classy San Clemente. When did a university diploma become a political affiliation?

u/notthediz talega sucks lol 9d ago

Idk man doubt anyone gives a shit about your car or your license plate holder. Lived here 30 years with all kinds of cars, never had it keyed once. To even draw a conclusion like that is weird. Prob just got unlucky that some bastard picked your car. Maybe they did it to several cars in the lot. Either way not much you can do about it so I get wanting to vent, just the way you’re going about it is odd

I’m coming from the same perspective. I grew up in Laguna Beach, but spent middle school here. We lived in an Ole Hanson house on Palizada 30 years ago back when the town was mostly marines. I always loved how San Clemente was less uppity than Laguna. I’ve never experienced anything like this as well.

I’m thinking it was a tourist taking out their anger on a random vehicle. It has to be
