Ouch.......this happenned while at the gym last Wednesday evening.

I've had two body shops take a look and both report front panel, rear panel and both doors need respray; scratch is down to the metal. Ouch ! Lets call it $3000.

I went to the gym Thursday and the manager on duty was sympathetic and appropriately mortified. Sadly, the gym does not have video cameras on the parking lot. However, an adjacent Fedex warehouse does !!

The villian is likely to be a member of the gym; I'm tempted to print and distribute flyers, politely but firmly worded to the effect; "own up in 7 days and pay the repair bill; I'll drop the issue. Otherwise we will get your license plate from the Fedex cameras and my insurance company will prosecute. The local police are aware and informed and waiting for video footage." I'm not sure the gym would be helpful or resist such an effort.

I am less concerned about the $ recovery; more concerned to ramp up the guilt on the culprit and make them think twice before doing this to someone elses vehicle.

What do people think ? Apart from assuaging my anger; is it worthwhile ? Would you risk returning to this gym parking lot ?
