The important thing to remember with any act of vandalism is to leave your car the way it is until the police and/or our appraiser have the opportunity to inspect it.
Upon finding that someone has vandalized your vehicle you should notify the police immediately, so that they can write up a police report documenting the damage. This also helps local authorities keep track of vandalism in a given area, which helps them do more to protect you and your community in the future.
If you have a camera with you when you discover the vandalism, take photos of the damage. Also report the act of vandalism to your insurance provider and you can make a claim if you have Comprehensive coverage. Scratches to the paint, broken glass and other damages that are typical of a vandal are normally covered under your Comprehensive coverage, minus your deductible amount.
