My car was keyed and I am pissed
Do this. Get the rumor going around that your car got keyed, but mall security got it on camera. However, the mall's security policy is to only show it to the police and not to the victim until the police report has been completed and processed.
Then say you are going to press charges on whomever you can identify in the tape once the police show it to you. They are going to show it to you to see if you recognize the perp.
Also say since the damage exceeds $500, it is a felony destruction of property which can mean jail time.
Let a few days pass, then come in one day and go up to the guy and say, "I've seen the tape, I know it was you. Pay me $XXX now and I won't report you. You have 24 hours."
To do this requires you to be sure who it was and hope the rumor gets around.

people like that are cowards (i had my hood damaged); revell in the fact that they are AFRAID of you (they would never dare do that to your car with you there)
funny thing... i caught someone in the act once; i chased him with a bat and pepper spray - too bad he got a HUGE head start, or I would do something stupid for sure

Man I just had the same thing happen to me 2 weeks ago. I feel your pain.
Here was the thread I started: Keying
I was lucky enough to have a witness and they will probably be caught pretty soon now.

This just sucks. What's even worse is that retaliation could just make them do something even worse to your car.
The world is full of NTL people (nothing to lose). You cannot win against them.

Sorry to see what happened to your car...I can't tell from the pics, but if the scratches aren't that deep, you may be able to have that buffed out...just bring it to a body shop right away and have them check it out...
Also, if it's any consolation, I had the exact same thing happen to my S about a month after I drove it out of the showroom...same exact kind of damage too...it really pissed me off that I didn't even have the damned licence plates yet, and it was already in a body shop getting fixed...
Out of curiousity, did you and this other guy have some kind of bad blood between you two?

corner him in the kitchen with a butcher's knife and make him confess.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."
in your best Samuel L. Jackson voice.
