My moms Mustang was mauled last night.

Pics are hard to tell how bad it actually is...

Something came onto my parents carport last night and destroyed the front of my moms Mustang. The black pieces everywhere are the remains of her chin spoiler. We are assuming that a cat ran and got under the hood and the animal was ripping the car apart to get to it. Something to have a jaw strong enough to puncture the metal and rip the bumper apart from the metal rivets...I have no idea. When my parents told me on the phone I thought bear but after seeing it I would have to assume it was some pissed off/vicious dog. The sheriff was there when I pulled up and he thinks it was a pit pull.

After it hit the Mustang it went after our Jeep. My mom drove the Jeep to work so I couldn't get pics of it. Crazy?

I would make sure that a dog wound up dead. . . . Or something would die LOL. That is just screwed up there bro! I have never seen an animal do such a thing!

Slither 05-19-2009 07:35 AM

She was devastated when she walked out this morning. I drove over there before I went to work to check it out. I already told my dad I would come over tonight with the shot gun and wait for it to come back. Whatever it was after it didn't get because there was no blood on the carport. There was blood on the Mustang and Jeep from the thing chewing on the car though.

Switch 05-19-2009 07:35 AM

That's crazy! I've never heard of that happening.

00blkstanggt 05-19-2009 07:36 AM

That's crazy. I would be so pissed, but thankfully mines garaged these days. Definitely not a bear, but thats one crazy ass dog if it was one.

Slither 05-19-2009 07:40 AM

I told them to park my dads truck and the Jeep in the back yard tonight and leave the Mustang. What is the worst that can happen to it at this point? I am afraid it will be back whatever it is.

There are coyotes around our property too so that is an option as well.

I just can't grasp a normal dog being that vicious just to get a cat ya know?

Slim03GT 05-19-2009 08:23 AM

Damn. Thats some bs. Something would die.

Black Sunshine 05-19-2009 08:32 AM

Fuckin' hell, man! What gets to me the most about those pictures is the one with the bite and scratch marks in the fender flare and the part where the fender has all those teeth marks and is peeled away from the body lines.

What irritates me is that the cop automatically assumed it was a pit. Because lord knows, those are the only aggressive dogs on the planet. :rolleyes:

It very well could have been a dog that caused that damage. I had a little dog that was part Jack Russell and Daschund, and that little bastard had superstrength, I swear. I used to have to keep him one of those huge metal cages while I was out because he'd go crazy and tear shit up. He actually broke through the cage... this little dog that weighed no more than 15lbs. When I say 'broke through' I mean he literally pried the bars apart and got out. Imagine an inmate just grabbing the bars on his cell door, pulling them apart, and walking out. It was just like that.

Hell yes, it would if that were my car. Trouble is, I'd want to kill everything in sight after that! :P

The only reason that assumption was made is because of the jaw strength to be able to puncture metal like that. Also if it was a larger dog it would have most likely got all the way on top of the car. It was a shorter dog with killer jaws and very aggressive so it was made simply on that assumption.

I have no idea what it was but we are setting up a night deer cam tonight.

Slither 05-19-2009 08:43 AM

Also...look how the chin spoiler was shredded. That is the old one off my Mustang. When I put it on my moms car I attached it with bolts, washers and nuts. I can see it ripping it off with those push pins but to rip something off that is bolted on?

It doesn't look like it actually punctured any metal with the teeth marks. From what I can see, all the punctures are on the bumper which is plastic, but those are some pretty deep looking scratches on the side panels.

Haha, my beagle/hound mix has destroyed his metal crate. Litte Bastard is smart to figure out how to keep getting out. Just when I thought I fixed one problem, he finds a new way to escape, but he did the same thing are your dog, pryed the little metal bars open and got out. I don't know how he did it, but he was able to escape through an opening smaller then a standard sheet of paper and he's 44lbs. Now he's in the backyard in the dog run with a chain link fence. I'd like to see him get out now.haha

**UPDATE**
Just got off the phone with my dad. Animal control had stopped by and said it was not a dog. Florida Wildlife Commission stopped by and said it was a dog. They actually gathered DNA from the blood on the headlight and they found hair on the tire. The neighbor has a Boxer so they went next door for questions, etc. They examined the dog for cuts, bleeding etc. and it was fine. The owner did notify them they have had problems with the dogs across the street.

Currently animal control is across the street with their investigation...I will try and keep you updated.

whitestang04 05-19-2009 09:20 AM

WTF! I read the title and was wondering what you meant by mauled only to come in and find the term to quite literal. That really sucks for your mom. Does your mom have full coverage insurance?

the gillz 05-19-2009 09:26 AM

damn thats crazy, you didnt hear anything? possum maybe some of those bastards can get pretty big and they are aggressive little shits too

Well I don't live there but I mentioned to my dad the amount of noise that had to have made. They are on the opposite side of the house so they did not hear anything.

Slither 05-19-2009 09:29 AM

Animal Control thinks it was a dog.
Florida Wildlife Commission thinks it is a large cat.

Hair samples did not match dog across the street either.

Mr. Zip 05-19-2009 10:12 AM

Holy... shit..... O.o Mustang eating monsters are loose in Florida? Is Pcola next? O.o But for real, that is MESSED UP. I can't even imagine the look on my face if I walked out and found my car like that.....

JackThe Ripper 05-19-2009 10:34 AM

That aint no dog mang. I saw something like this on "monster quest" a minivan was chewed up like that. They did bite pressure testing and found that no dog was strong enough to do that.

Its the fuckin El Chucacabara mang.

And why the hell would the police run a pricey DNA test for damage on a vehicle?

You pulling our leg a little donnie boy?

Lol

The police didn't take the DNA..the Florida Wildlife Commission took it. They need to determine was kind of animal it is because if something does that to a car...image what it could do to a person? My dad said he needs to know what it is and if he needs to carry his pistol with him just to go get the paper.

Not pulling anyone's leg. It sounds as crazy to me as it does to you.

By large cat, I hope they meant like a bobcat or something.

Yes..not a large house cat lol

SnTBakosFinest 05-19-2009 12:21 PM

holy hell..large cat? got mountain lions?

That'd be a really pissed off bobcat to do all that..

Best guess though is - something this super beast was chasing crawled up under into the engine bay.. and superbeast got burnt..and destroyed the car. lol.

Slither 05-19-2009 12:30 PM

After posting up on some dog forums I am learning it was most likely a Panther. Bob cat is too small for that sort of damage....time will tell.

SnTBakosFinest 05-19-2009 12:33 PM

florida has panthers?

Panthers are extremely endangered so I highly doubt it was a panther..but yes Florida has panthers. I guess I can't shoot it if it that's what it is.

There's actually a type of panther specifically called the Florida Panther.

(and not the hockey team)

Black Sunshine 05-19-2009 12:38 PM

It could be a panther. Bobcat is too small to do that damage, I think.

From Wikipedia: Adult female panthers weight between 75-105lbs, males from 115-160lbs.

"It stalks through brush and trees, across ledges, or other covered spots, before delivering a powerful leap onto the back of its prey and a suffocating neck bite. The cougar is capable of breaking the neck of some of its smaller prey with a strong bite and momentum bearing the animal to the ground. It has a flexible spine which aids its killing technique."

Edit: You guys replied as I was typing, so I didn't see the replies.

The Jeep has marks on the hood. A gator could not get up that high.
