I'm back..details on my Viper getting keyed:
Okay I noticed the car was keyed last week at chesterfield town center, well not really keyed it looks as though they used a knife or screw driver b/c it is VERY deep.. here are the estimates:
Least expensive method includes sanding down with spot paint on hood, 2800.00
Most expensive method, and really the best method repaint and replace hood, 26,000.00
Insurance is not going to drop me, thats good news
I am getting a new/different hood this winter anyways so this incident hasnt bothered me too much.
There was 4 cop cars and a forensics unit around my car ..it looked pretty cool. They took finger prints and a DNA sample from the spit they left.
Thanks for your post allen and too everyone else who cared.

If it were a Civic, there'd be only a rent-a-cop with a carbon copy form. Am glad that the forensics unit was able to come out. With this much $$$ in damage and sooo much proof, should be an easy conviction in court. Don't let the person pull an OJ on you.
Any word on insurance rates? Since it was not a collision the rates *shouldn't* be raised, but at $26,000... If you can, hold off for a quick trial and conviction (if a suspect is known) and sue for damages. Same thing your insurance company plans to do. If you do it by yourself, you lose time and effort, but can save the insurance rate hike by not claiming the damage with your insurance company and just sue the suspect's directly.
