What do you do if someone keys your car but you don't see them doing it?

My housemates car was keyed last night and her wing mirror snapped off. What should she do? Should she call the police or her insurnace company or what? I want to help her but don't know what to do. There were 4 other cars keyed last night, should we go and talk to their owners?

Yes, tell the police . . it could be that they've nicked someone doing that in the next street and can question them about your damage while they're at it.

Report it to the Police as criminal damage. If there is a pattern of crimes they may get someone but expect to end up paying for it yourself.

Write him a note to say, if I see you near my car again I will kick your ***.

It is worth reporting it to the police though there is probably not a lot they can do about it. It will probably be cheaper to pay for the repairs yourself rather than let the insurance do it (taking your 'no-claims' into account). Shop around for quotes. Once given you can then reveal any cheaper once you have had to see if they will drop the price.

What are you going to do, have the police bring everyone with keys in their pockets in for questioning? If nobody witnessed the crime, there's nothing you can do. Get a police report and submit a claim to insurance.

yes inform the police, and go speak to other car owners to see if they saw anything

Get in touch with the police and insurance as you will probably need a case number off the police for your insurance claim.
