Yeah, sucks, its pretty bad... Here is the good part, if there is any,
I know the make of his car, his licence plate number, and I can identify him.
I filed a police report, but I have a feeling they won't do much, if anything.

Now what, How can I find out his name. Can I get money from this bastard?

When did this happen? I believe a fellow Anandtecher admitted to keying someones car recently.

Try searching the posts to see if it was in your neck of the woods.

Damn that really sucks, I know how you feel. If possible file a report, and get the bastard arrested. Have him pay for your new paint job too while you're at it.

If you know all that info why do you not think that the cops will not do anything about it?

Cuz cops don't care all that much if no one gets hurt...maybe if you convinced them it was a hate crime?

Find out who it is, sue the sh1t out of them, then beat out what's left over.

Oh and take lots of pictures of the damage and keep any paperwork regarding the repair. Also get a copy of the police report if you don't already.

I think you can find out their information if you have their license plate # but you have to pay for each # you want information on

have everyone within a 200 mile radius line up against a piece of metal with a key, have them key at the length of the scratch on yoru car, then try to match the key style with the style on your car

Contact your insurance company. I think they're legally allowed to run plates. They'll pay out under their comprehensive(assuming you're covered) and they'll collect it from the responsible party.
