Damage to cars at Dallas cars and coffee

[whichonetodrive]

I was checking out cars and coffee website and read a note from one of the owners thought I would send it on, just figures someone trying to do something for fun and someone has to screw it up.

November Cars & Coffee...Classic BMW needs your help.
My name is Eric Maas---My family owns Classic BMW. I am very proud to host the monthly Cars & Coffee event at my dealership. I feel that now is the time to address some of your concerns and some of mine....

During the last 18 months I have had a couple of conversations with participants at our event that have informed me that their cars have been in some way damaged. While hiring security for each row would be an option I decided to ask our participants and our spectators to RESPECT the cars. Classic's volunteer workers have been preaching respect for a few months and I have not had any communication from anyone regarding damage---so, I hope that the message has been received and we can all enjoy this wonderful show.

My issue has to do with RESPECT for my cars....I have a huge inventory of new BMW's that I move out of the normal storage lot at Classic onto the front grass area near Spring Creek Parkway. I do this to offer more space for people to display their cars at the event. On Saturday, during the event 14 brand new BMW's were vandalized. Evidently a small group of individuals walked around the inventory and keyed the cars---in a couple of instances they kinda went Picasso on the them. I will be posting the pics eventually. I will also be posting a link to the officer with the Plano Police that is currently investigating this crime.

If you have recollection of seeing these people performing this crime...please contact me at ericmaas@aol.com

I love hosting this event....but the future of an event like this is in jeopardized when anyone's car is damaged. Or when someone gets out of control....It's never easy to do something right. Please help me make this right.

Sincerely,


Eric Maas,
President, Classic BMW---Home of Cars & Coffee Dallas

It sure is a shame people do this to cars, they do it because they are jealous because they can't have one. Or its brand loyalty, they need to be shot, when I go to a car show I watch mine like a Hawk, it don't matter if you put signs all over the car to look but don't touch, little kids have got to touch it. I know you can't shoot anyone for keying your car but if you catch them you can kick there a$$

Stupid people do stupid things.....
its a shame someone was so distructive....
i sure hope they catch them and make the
public aware of who did this and make them
pay for it...

Damn, that is just sad. Why do such people even bother attending events like this?

Recently there was a woman here in Silicon Valley that was vandalizing luxury cars. Eventually, she was caught and identified. A one-person crime wave. She was arrested just last month.

What is wrong with people?

Update Mr. Maas says they have video cameras in the area of the cars that were damaged and hopefully will have the people hanging from a rope soon.
