Hello thanks for clicking on this thread, my name is Wiley and my Civic got vandalized overnight.
- Driver front / Passenger front top side frame dings
- Passenger Window scratched with rock (tints on as well)
- Driver front door to back rear quarter panel keyed (2 line)
- Spoiler Keyed (1 line)
- Top trunk deck keyed (1 line)

Pictures are attached;

MY MAIN QUESTIONS
- These dents are repairable yes?
- File with insurance or not?
-I have a trusted body shop so is it most cost efficient to skip filing a claim

My insurance is 140$ a month and my deductible is $250 from state farm. First year auto insurance holder @ 21 years old, thanks yalls for them inputs and suggestions.

Yes.… insurance claim. That's thousands in damage. I did 2 claims last year within a few months of each other... one for being keyed and one for paint damage from road debris. I'm old and haven't had any claims for awhile but my rates didn't change. Yours is going to take a but of work to make right. It sucks but that's what insurance is for.

Get a web cam and point it toward the car so if it happens again you will have video footage for the police. You will need an outdoor Nest cam with a Nest Cam subscription and a IR Flood light. The IR flood light bathes the night in IR radiation yet the average human wont be able to see it unless they know its there and they know what to look for.

What he said. And then gently tap their head with a baseball bat and tell them not to do it again. You got a serious enemy.

also call the cops, you'll need a police report for the insurance claim.

Same happened to me a year ago. Not as much as yours but very similar. It’s like the 10th gens attract pesky raccoons we call envious people who don’t value the cars we have. Good luck. I didn’t file with insurance tho
