Hoping I haven't reopened something that's already been discussed...
So last week Friday, someone took issue with my Z and decided to leave a lovely collection of four new pinstripes on the door and the rear quarter panel. With a key.
Cue me taking it down to my good friend and top mechanic to sand it down to the bare metal and respray in Ebisu Black across the whole right hand side....plus I'm having to bring forward the date for a compound and polish on the other side to bring it to match. I'm now out of pocket by almost a grand. To say I'm not happy would be a monumental understatement.
My concern is that this incident happened at home, and I unfortunately have to park on a street outside of view of my house. I am paranoid that this is going to happen again, and if it does then I at least need to know who's done it so I can do the necessary - which, as much as I'd like to, won't be taking a spanner to the lout's kneecaps. Somewhat inspired by the chap who caught the guy who keyed his Aston in Hackney - the guy that ended up in the news - that only leaves me with the parking mode dash cam option.
I will need a power manager to connect to the car's battery as the battery packs won't have the necessary life needed if I don't touch the car for a couple days, and I'm staring at a Power Magic Pro from BlackVue to go with one of their top of the range models. Has anyone had any experience with such a setup, and how long will the cam record for if left to its own devices with, say, a 12V cutoff?
Much appreciate any responses guys, thanks!
