This ^^^ or in some cases call the local Ferrari dealer and ask them. That’s what I did. Also report this to the insurance even if you aren’t making a claim. They have contracts with places like Target and can get the tapes. The guy that door dinged my F80 got caught on tape and it cost me nothing to get it PERFECTLY fixed.

I ask because in Miami there are so many M3/4's (amongst supercar after super car) that I'm hoping no one pays attention to an M2. |

Think about what happens in Singapore or Saudi Arabia if you get caught keying a car. I say cane his ass until it's Imola Red.

I am so sorry to hear that.
Given the fact those trashes plan to key cars that are looking nice. This will probably reduce the chance... I know it could be very incovenient to do the job everytime you are parking somewhere outside of your house garage. But could be a cheap prevention |

I have a Blackvue DR650S 2 channel so it runs front and rear, and I run it using a power magic pro from blackboxmycar.com which allows it to run for about 3 days until the battery reaches 12v and shuts off the power to the dashcam. I highly recommend getting one and wiring up that way! Still a better chance of catching someone than if it's not running at all..

This would attract even more attention. Imagine a car at the back of a parking lot with a car cover over it. Curiosity will strike just about everyone and you'll have people sneak a peak of what's underneath. And once they find out well... you've accomplished absolutely nothing then. I've had my car keyed before. Honestly there's really nothing you can do about it except to follow a few simple rules to decrease the likelihood of it occurring. In general always park furthest in the back, but don't park over lines taking up two spaces like a douche. Avoid high foot traffic areas (like sidewalks where someone could just walk by and throw their Dr Pepper on your car). It's usually the hoodlums or some young degenerate that engages in these activities. So if you know you are going somewhere where you're likely to encounter this species (e.g. the mall), avoid taking your M and take your beater or someone else's less flashy car. |

Man, this is one of those things that really grinds my gears. Feel terrible for OP and it really sucks that we live in a society that if you drive a nice car, you have to kind of expect it to get keyed or messed with at some point. The people that does these type of things are just plain pathetic. Maybe they justify it to themselves by thinking that if you drive a nice car, you must be a cocky snob. NO, we are just nice people who work harder than you and don't hate others for their success. OP, maybe post some pics of the damage. Depending on how deep the scratch is and how big the affected area is, you would have different options. I'm sure we can offer better advice then. Good luck. |

hence why I don't leave my M2 alone more than 1 minute when I'm out and about. our cars stand out too much. there are too many low lives out there.

once you buy into this game. The risk of something like this will happen. same thing goes with like crimes, man made disasters, politics, etc. to name a few. if you think of it as if a branch falls on it, or a deer hits it, or hail damage. it might make you feel better. |
