So, after all this, did you buy it back or is gone? I saw all the posts about this and the comments. I have done probably over a hundred reports of vandalism to cars in my 30 yr career. My own son had his car, vandalized at college, twice, and once in my front yard. I hunted that kid down myself. You don't have to do something in order to be vandalized. So don't blame yourself or your kids. The kids that did my sons at college were a gang, I got nothing, other than they went to jail for awhile, not long enough. The kid that did in my front yard, didn't know I was a cop, he does now. He was after the sterio...broke out the window to get it, and the door was unlocked, dumbass criminals....nice cars, usually have nice things inside of them...nice cars, shiny and all, just asked to touched, and sometimes by jealous, individuals who think you have money, and something they can't have. When asked why you did it, it's always the same answer. I don't know, it was just there...so don't blame yourself...in your case, probably a gang got their kicks bashing your car...and I would expect if you went back to the police, you weren't the only one that got it that night...they usually continue until the paint can runs dry....good luck
