If they do it again, BOOM! Got em! Oh and you have paperwork stating you were already vandalized. They would get shut down on a first offense plea. Theyll get whats coming to them eventually
Who is this they you speak of? What is winning and losing? Any time you have to deal with this crap, you in effect are the loser. Rarely is justice served.. If video cameras are there, people likely will know they are there. Someone with a nice mask, glasses, hoodie and a key/knife/crowbar will *not* be caught. Lets be realistic here. Not everyone is as dumb as those on First 48 people You think any police department has a high rate of solving auto related crimes? You think they really care to solve them?

I don't drive my nicer cars on a regular basis, into an area that is not nice. I am not going out on a limb to state this is a common behavior anywhere. OP stated no security and such, and job where punk arse beyatch behavior can happen. This isn't to imply that the OP should have seen this coming or anything like that: no one should f with a mans vehicle. But they do unfortunately.

I am not *afraid* to drive any car anywhere...but I understand what is more then acceptable risk in certain situations. When I go to Newark or out on Long Island for my job, the Subaru goes with me. Z and 981 stay at home.
