And to answer everyone's debate about whether police would come out, we have our officer on campus that would do the report. I referred to him earlier in this thread. Some people might have read it wrong, but he is a badged officer who shows up everyday to our school and works his job.
I bet he will write a report, at our school we had a resource officer who would look into thefts and stuff like this. Didn't see that but he might help since he deals with it on the daily.

If you have to park closer to the security cameras, consider getting something like this to protect your doors;

How mad are you going to be when you pay to have it repaired, and then someone re-keys it?

Have definitely thought about that! The thing is, they got away so easily the first time which will make them think they can do it again. What would be good is if they key me again but we caught them and made them pay for both!

It appears to me you're the only one debating this. I've got some personal experience with damage to my vehicle on "private property." Once in a Conoco gas station and another in a Lowe's parking lot. Neither would the cops come and was told, "that's what insurance is for."

I don't know about the others but I for one don't appreciate being talked to like some six year old. You can take your condescending tone/attitude and stick it where the sun don't shine.

So are you a senior or what? Just leave it scratched till after graduation.



And then get a concealed carry permit when you go to college...

I not saying take the law into your own hands, but you could easily figure out out. In high school, like most places, the walls have ears.

Just figure it out and see how you can work a angle to get them legally of course, that is how the cops do it. They arrested Al Capone on Tax Evasion charges, not bootlegging

The arrival of an officer may not happen, so an actual investigation is never accomplished. Doesn't mean you won't get a police report to use in filing with insurance.

I work for HEB and unfortunately I live in the RGV where half the people down here most likely would just take off. Good thing is I'm within reasonable walking distance from work and I just leave my new 2012 at home and walk it.

I guess it may depend on what region one lives at because here, the police would come to the parking lot for the report.


@Stuart McWilliams

Oh, ok. yes I thought it was a private security guard. I guess i would have chewed him out if he was outside watching the lot and my car got keyed..
