OP it sucks to feel so violated. But its cosmetic. Progressive should not be as craptacular as Geico is: just get it fixed and move on in life. There are unfortunately sociopaths in our society: be glad they didn't take it out on you personally.

If I was you, I would buy a beater to commute in as well if there are no safe places to park. Beaters don't have to be POS either: just something that blends in.

No way. Have to disagree here. That would be like if someone stole your car you would never drive one again because you're afraid it will get stolen.

In other words, op dropping money on a beater means they win. Get it painted back real nice and drive it right back to work but this time somewhere you know there are video cameras. 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

I work as a pharmacist and when I first got the car I drove it a couple of times. Patient's would come back to the pharmacy and be like hey man is that your Z out there in the parking lot?? I would say no that's not mine, but I wish it was! I was always afraid the whole time it sat in the parking lot.
^^^^me too....rarely drive it anyplace where i can't watch it while parked...and when i do i fear the OP shizz will happen. Small town mentality haters around.
My 1st brand spanking new sports car-i would be devastated.

I hate seeing that. I don't think progressive will be as bad as geico after the claim though. Geico has been notorious for that type of stuff for years

NOFATCHX -- I see you run a CK store. Did you fire anyone lately or put them on notice? Could be one of them. Again, good luck with your ride....re-Pearl with satin clearcoat FTW.

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.

Bvl, I understand what your saying. I think my comment is just the soldier in me. In my opinion, I wouldn't let anyone change the way I would do things. I'm not saying don't be smart about it, however.

To address my winners/ losers comment. In a small fashion, a car keying is like a terrorist act. They want to install heartache/fear/frustration. The more you react (I.e let them change your life) the more satisfaction they will get.

*Case in point: I drive my car as little as I can on post because people notoriously hit you/rub doors all the time. At the same time I would never not drive my car if I needed to/wanted to. Thats all im saying.

*On topic: I hope you dont have to drive another car to work. You work hard for that and its meant to be driven. If safe parking cannot be met for employees that should definitely be addressed by the employer/land owner.

Hope it all works out, post some pics when you get it fixed

That happened to me yrs ago when I had a BMW Z3... guy pulled out in front of me and I beeped my horn at him. He saw me pull into a supermarket and must have turned around... I came back out to key gouges the whole length of my drivers side.

That sucks balls. This has the traits of a coward and extreme passive aggressive behavior. This individual doesn't have the balls to deal with you directly and will continue to live his/her life in a weak minded way. They are the very core of trash Never taking a stand against anything directly but instead seek revenge when your back is turned

Sorry you had to deal with this.
