Kicking myself for not getting a DASHCAM. Another Hit and Run case.

[Andy13186]

people get drunk at casinos, hits in their parking lot probably happen alot and some who do it probably dont even know they did it.

For those that think people are all good and wouldn't possibly think of vandalizing another persons car, I have 2 reasons that you need to wake up. 1973 Grand Torino Sport in perfect condition parked 20 spaces from the closest car in grocery parking lot. I get back to the car and on the driver's side rear quarter is a clear foot print mark and nasty dent. You could see the heel and rest just like a foot print. Still nothing else near the car. Next, 2004 Black terminator Cobra, again perfect shape. Parked at a bar to see a (night) hockey game. Next day I see what looks like a scratch on the rear bumper. Look closer and the lower facia is broken. The I see a scuff mark next to the break and realize that some low-life booted the bumper. No chance that is was another car based on the small area of the scuff.
If you've never had a car vandalized count your blessings because it is a sickening feeling to think people would ruin someone else's property like that. It happens... Jealousy, camaro vs mustang people, mustang haters, etc. That said, I have no idea what happened in this case.
To the OP, I would get a lawyer, or your insurance company to call the casino and 'suggest' that it would be in their best interest to release the security video. Good luck and let us know what you find out.

My first car was a Peugeot (ok stop laughing I still loved that car). Had the car maybe 3 weeks and came out to find a deep key gouge across the hood and all panels on the drivers side. I didn’t even know anyone as I was visiting family in another state- so It wasn’t the case I posed someone off.

Racehorse is right. It’s the worst feeling in the world to come out and see someone did that to your car.

The more and more Im thinking its not fun anymore having a decent car. Life is better when you have a sh itbox. Not as fun to drive but less to worry about. Honestly I mean this. Anyone else feel this way?

Vandalism happens. Someone keyed the side of my Subaru Legacy recently. I can't think of anyone I pissed off, and yet someone felt the need to vandalise my property.
Someone needs to develop a high video quality dash cam that can record 360 degree. I had bought the Waylens 360 from Kickstarter, but decided to sell it before installing it after reading about the horrible video quality. This summer I installed a Blackvue in the wife's car and just this past week picked up a simple ThinkWare F70 for the GT.

This. I love driving my junk car for that exact reason.

Yeah my shitbox 04 Xterra runs and drives great, other then a minor exhaust leak. I don't even care when rocks hit it on the highway, I squeeze it inbetween other huge vehicles not worrying about door dings, or if someone keys it. I even put a decent dash cam in it because it's a pretty good deterrent.

When I take out the Mustang I Lambo park it in the far back of any parking lot I go to and sure enough some assclown is parked next to it by the time I come back, elevating my blood pressure as I'm walking back to my car lol. I have a dashcam in it too which helps my anxiety a little but still, people seem attracted to that car like bugs

Good points Diocletian. Blood pressure is lower when I take the jalopy (2001 Stang). Not sure what makes people park next to you when you're away from everyone else. Do they just like the car? Being a turkey? Who knows but when that happens you have to do the walk around to make sure you didn't get dinged. I recently got a major rock tossed up by a truck going the other way and it slammed into the driver's door leaving a bad dent. Since I was in the '01 I just said whoa! and kind of laughed it off. If I was in the '19 it would have ruined my day. Owning a nice car has it's drawbacks but we still own them!
