That's ****** man!

I'd be wringing some necks for sure. You're going about it the right way though. Keep us updated, hope it all works out in the end

Damn that sucks!

Gonna be an expensive repair too, when my R/T got keyed from the headlight to the taillight it was over $1,500 to fix. Thankfully insurance covered it under vandalism and we have a $0 on every coverage on every vehicle

There is no reason to call the police. They won't help, they never do.

First let me say I think people that take out there grudge on a vehicle should be beat with a fan belt then punched in the face every day for a month. Now, as the police, if no one comes up and says soin-so did it and they witnessed the whole act or if the store video does not have a clear shot of the act being performed with the violators face visible, what exactly is it that you expect us to do? I actually had a girl call me back about an hour after I responded to her keyed vehicle because she had found a piece of fence wire about one hundred feet from her car and asked me if I could run a paint trace analysis on it. WTF?

Well, I found a mark like the OP's on my truck and the only difference is that whoever did it was either very weak or used a plastic key because I only saw some surface scuffs which did not penetrate into the paint or clear coat.

^ That and they think the police have some sort of special powers

You are right. Give the local crack head a call when you need help!

Do you know if the camera footage is of any use? And will insurance cover it?

You mean your local police department doesn't have their own geostationary low orbital look down spy satellite that can zoom in and see how many slices of pepperoni are on your pizza?

Turns out there are no cameras, and yes insurance will cover it. I'm getting a $100 break on the deductible for not replacing the headlight (I JUST put those on there, the scratch is so small on the headlight you have to look for it, I can live with it) and they're going to paint my Daytona lip for free.

Update

So I got the truck back today. Since they painted it for me I put the Daytona lip on, and since I got tow mirrors I decided to throw those on as well. I had actually put the running boards on couple of weeks ago, just forgot to post about it. Looking good now!

Glad to see a "happy ending" to this story. The only way it could be better would be to find the person responsible and give them an opportunity to explain their actions.

I would love to hear an explanation... although it would be very impressive for the person to be talking while I am pounding some common sense and courtesy into him with a 2x4.
