Definitely report it to the Police, that should have been the first thing you did. Granted, there isn't many investigative routes to take with a keying and the chances of the Police finding the bastard are slim to say the least, but it is always better to have a Police report on file when making an insurance claim.

If you have full coverage insurance, it should be covered. If you make the Police report and they still don't want to pay up, talk to a lawyer about it. I bet all it would take would be the insurance company just to know that you are speaking with a lawyer for them to cough up the money.

I kinda want to be keyed, I need a fresh coat of paint to remove rock chips [&o] You lucky bastard

 

Even if you have comprehensive only coverage, you should be covered.
Comprehensive = Theft & Vandalism (at least here in Canada anyway..)

What colour do you want for your new paint job? Black again?

 

Yup same thing happened to me a last month... Just got my insurence check... still waiting for the check to clear

 

Damn that sucks man. I hate that people have such disrespenct. I have heard some body shops can fill it in with something and then touch it up and sand it back to new. Hope everything works out ok.

 

well i'm hoping before you put touch up paint on it you took your own pictures then, because i'd be doubtful about them giving you a check without any trouble since you tampered with the scratch before having the company come out and look, why are insurance companies such bast@rds my god

 

Yea i would leave it black, i wish i would have taken pictures but my dad put the touch up paint on it before i had a chance to snap any pics.

 

yea u got a point there

 

give those cheap bastards a call and lay down the line. I no how you feel. My trunk got keyed last year. I was so pissed I started researching about guns.

 

+1 you're not gonna lose anything by doing so...

 

If you just put the touch up paint on then you can take it very easily with Varsol or any professional paint thinner/remover.

I touched up a few stone chips on another vehicle and overdid it and it looked like s**t. Put some varsol on a clean rag and only worked that area and it all came off within minutes.
