A serial car-keyer has been sentenced to three months in jail and three years probation after pleading guilty to mischief over $5,000.

Soo Yo Kim, a 37-year-old Coquitlam resident, was arrested by New Westminster Police in November after damaging hundreds of vehicles in Burnaby, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Port Coquitlam, Richmond and Vancouver.

It's not the first time Kim has been caught for keying cars. In 2008 Kim was arrested for damaging about 1,000 cars in Vancouver, Coquitlam and Burnaby, reportedly because he was angry with ICBC.

He was also put on probation for keyings in 2004.
