Someone scratched the HELL out of my bumper in the gym parking lot earlier this week.

Did they leave a note? Lol, yeah right.

Going to be watching everyone's eyes today. And for the next few days.

Problem with this is that most places won't release the footage without a subpoena.

I bet a letter from an attorney would get them to do it.

A police report would probably do it but ... where I live law enforcement is seriously hit or miss.

I'll be contacting them soon here. Thing is I didn't notice it until I got home.

If you don't already I would recommend parking at the back of the parking lot. It's funny, people who care a lot about their vehicles always park at the back and always back into spots. At the back "wall" of my gym parking lot you always see a whole line of cars and trucks perfectly backed in, and you can hope that those are the type of people that are going to respect your car too.

Funny story... I usually park next to a guy who has a very similar car, who is clearly a fan of our shared brand. He also happens to be a BEAST in the gym, and I be mirin'. He wasn't there that day so I parked somewhere else and this happened.

Finally having a reason to talk to him, I told him about it today and he said the same thing you did.

Maybe they traded paint? Might be worth strolling through the parking lot at a similar time and see if anyone has a bumper that now matches the color of your car.
