Got Keyed and hit all in the same day... =(

I dont know why someone would want to do that to me, but what can I do to fix the damage?

Here are some pics:

Passenger side of car keyed. - http://www.danielbrincat.com/lj/car_damage/keyed.jpg

Driver side of bumper after being taged by something. - http://www.danielbrincat.com/lj/car_damage/hit.jpg

What can I do for this stuff? I think i can just buff out the rear bumper, but what about the key mark? The picture doesnt really show how bad the damage really is.. it goes all the way down the rear quater pannel, and down the passenger door.

help?!?!

depending on how deep the key marks are you could proly use some rubbing compound to get them out.

You should have got a police report filled out at each damage occurrence, stating where and when it happened. You should take the police report to your insurance adjuster and tell them you would like both areas fixed. The panel with the scratch will have to be completely sanded down and repainted, you may be able to buff out the bumper cover but I can not tell from the picture.

Use your insurance, these are the reasons you insure your personal property.

You need to check on your personal insurance policy, not all are the same. I have a regular 250 dollar deductable if the wreck is my fault, but mine is written for a ZERO deductable for acts of God and for Vandalism, which is what keying and hit and run would be.

Yeah, that would be covered under "Comprehensive" coverage in your insurance policy. On most policies there is $0 deductible for that part.

At least ask your insurance agent about it!
