seems like im a frequent target of random vandalism.

last night i was pulling into my parking garage. and when waiting for the gate to open, a barage of rocks and sea shells (wtf?) come crashing down from the park/courtyard above.

they scattered immediatley, and there was no quick way up, so i could do nothing. called the cops but of course they dont care.

for how load it was (I thought my windows shattered), there is surprisingly little damage. but any damage is frustrating, of course in the face of random vandalism.

there is a small dent in the middle of the hood, that i hope a paintless dent remover can fix. then i will touch it up to make it 90% better.
then there is a fair sized dent on the plastic window frame. this im not sure about.
not being in the broad section of a panel, im unsure if it can be popped?
also, do you guys think it will be easier to fix/hid if the tape were to be removed (sebring car)?

any suggestions will be helpful.

dont feel like going to insurance because 2 months ago, someone backed into ME and MY insurance (with my $500 deductible) had to pay $2k to repaint the front bumper/hood/fender/replace a headlight. front was flawless until last night.

Contact a PDR guy and failing that, get a few quotes from a body shop. Should only take a half hour of your time and give a solid idea how much the repairs will be.

Pictures of the damage would help.

Damn man you got some strange luck, sorry to hear this! I would freak out on someone if it happened to me.

I've had some random shit happen to me at one place, (Monroe movie theater) pile of mud on my hood and popcorn thrown, but fortunately no permanent damage, thank god for my clear bra. You might want to get some of this stuff if you don't already.

well you seeee, back in Oahu that's all we had to throw. We'd collect them on our way to work riding our canoe. I didn't do it though. I would've gathered as many rocks / shells and thrown them back up and just pray that none of it came back at me
