[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 435444, member: 1991"] HaoZi, I don't think this is rocks. The thin scratches possibly could be, but a rough rock would occasionally have a double line or more. There seem to be two distinct patterns here - a thin line, single, very straight, and the burred patch. That's why I suggested drill bits - a variety of them. But dremel bits would explain it too. I also second going through the bathroom looking for sharp (especially metal) objects. An old hairpin with the cushion tip worn off, a nail file (a common culprit - they can do deep gouges), manicure scissors. And the larger burred areas - a pumice stone? After all, a dremel also uses a stone as a grinding surface. Whatever is causing the burred area, is roughly round in cross-section and from what I can estimate, looks to be about half a cm or less in diameter. He could be grinding it in a circle, but the movements do tend to be linear with all the marks. I've noticed with this sort of vandalism as well as with artists, brush strokes tend to follow the same direction and similar pattern of movement. It is also fairly apparent that the marks have been made by a right-hander - the movement is from upper left to lower right, the easiest movement to make for a right-hander. It's a more difficult direction for a left-hander. We tend to drag in the other direction. Marg [/QUOTE]
