Sorry to hear man. Only ignorant and uneducated people would do this kind of things. I hope they will get caught and be punished. Try to contact the store's security personel to see if they have any recorded video from surveillance cameras.

Just remember everything one does will come back to one ten fold.
I don't think so man. That's not a rule, and life is not fair most of the time.

Thanks guys.... Im taking it over to the shop tomorrow to drop it off... However my insurance has decided they will not cover the dent because they say it could have been from "before" the incident. which is total BS. However, after talking to the body shop they are going to inflate the cost of the repairs to the Keyed areas, so they can do the work on the dent as well.....

It makes me sick to my stomach to think people actually go to the lengths to do such things.... After im sure most of us in here take great pride in their cars, heck we wouldnt be on this board if we werent enthusiasts.... To have low lifes take that pride away... just not cool.

I checked with the grocery's management but no luck, they do not have any cameras in the lot.

Yeah. It's not necesarely the straight fact that my car go injured but of all the paperwork that has to be done (at least here, go to the police and then to the inssurance company and then to the deler...) not to mention the time i will remain without my car. :'(

I don't know if you've seen Pulp Fiction, but I recall there is a discussion about what should happen to people who key cars.....

Really sorry to hear this, but it will be fixed good as new. You can take some small consolation realizing that the ones who did this will never be in a position to know what owning a luxury car feels like....

Well.... the problem is that if caught... the punishment for keying a car is comparatively lenient.

If I were running things, the penalty for such vandalism would be public torture..... kinda like how they do in Singapore. Honestly... I would have no problem with the death penalty for vandalism.... except that I think that is too easy. The people should be made to suffer. Only then, will other people think twice before doing somthing so pointless. It all comes down to fear.... unless people fear the consequences, they will do anything.
