    Well apparently last night someone used my truck as a ladder in order to get on top of a carport. No idea why but I'm sure it's going to cost a few hundred bucks.

    Footprints go from the bed up the roof then back down the hood. Really glad the hood didn't dent.

    That is a bummer.

    If it isn't creased to bad you might be able to bump the dent back out with your hand from the inside. But looks like it may be creased a little from the pic. Hard to tell.

    Waiting for a cop to show up so I can file a report. Then off to shop for someone who can fix it. There have been an increasing amount of reports of stuff like this in my appt complex. Might be time to move lol

    Don't be too hard on them, it wuzn't their faults. The cops wuz probably just harassing and chasing them for no reason and they had no where else to run to but up.

    :D

    Oooh, apt complex... yep, I've been there. No use owning anything nice living in an apt complex, it will get stolen or vandalized at some point. Filthy animals.

    I used PDR for a dent on my roof and he got 99% of the dent out for a reasonable price. No repainting cost, etc.

    So there have been other complaints about a high school kid doing similar things around the complex. His grandma is really nice and willing to let the cop check out his shoes. With all of the pollen there are shoe prints everywhere

    yea there are people i think its called paint less dent repair they will take the liner down and take all the dents out that is if the paint is not cracked or anything there was a friend of mine that did it but he moved back to Georgia i think but he did real good work i watched him do some work on my wife's car i thought it was headed for the body shop it took him a day and you couldn't tell it was all dented up so i would see if there are anybody like that around you

    Cop is checking out the apartment where the kid lives and looking for his shoes to see of they match. If not, then he sends the case to a detective and I am sure it will disappear. He wrote it down as 1600 in damage and made it a felony offense if they catch the guy. Either way, headed to a local body shop this afternoon to see what they think.

    Have 3 doors closed witg windows up and open one door withwindow up, then slam it shut and see if the air will push the dent out. I had a much smaller dent in mine(where i propped setting in some rifles i think) and the next time i check, it was gone. I assume from slamming the door.
