Kids messing with my car but no damage?
So I usually park as FAR away from everyone as possible because like everyone else, I hate door dings. I live in an apartment complex and usually the better spots are always taken. But sometimes there is a spot open next to a dumpster which I like to park next to. This is because the dumpster itself takes up one parking spot, and then the two spots on its side are half coned off (meaning you can't park in this spot). This way I can back up into the spot and kind of cross into the coned spot so I am further away from the possible car that ends up parking next to me.
However, earlier this afternoon two kids saw my car and said "what an asshole taking up two spots...thinking he's hot shit". Well i wasn't ,considering one of the spot is not for parking anyways (the coned spot). I have this captured on my dash cam. The kid end up taking the cones and surrounded my car with it. One of the cone hit my car and can be heard through the audio but the scuff I was able to rub off. My dash cam recorded the type of car he drove (he parked right next to me). Saw both the guys enter the same apartment complex I live in, but I only moved here few weeks ago so I don't know any faces. My question is, is it worth doing anything? |

I'm only living in an apartment right now for the time being for Summer classes at a college. Being prior military, I get housing allowance. The less I spend on rent, the more money I get to pocket myself.
I want to file a police report, or report to someone but its so minor I don't know who would even care. I don't want to have teenagers think its okay to mess with other peoples properties. |

I'd find their parents and tell them what happened. Just be cool about it though, and tell them you have it recorded and that you're asking them to handle it at their level because you don't want to go to apartment management or authorities. I think filing a police report at this point will make you look like a big douche.
Talk to some of the other tenants about it too if you can, esp those that have line of sight of the parking lot from their units, so they're aware of it. If you don't know your neighbors, take the time to get to know them. If people know you and like you as a person, they'll look out for you. You can't rely on yourself and a dashcam if those teenagers have free reign around the complex. You'll always be at risk of retaliation by the kids, and they'll easily find ways to mess with your car without getting recorded, but at least you'll have addressed it with the adults before things possibly escalate. |

Unfortunately, I'm only going to be living in this apartment for couple more weeks before I move out. And even though I address them as kids/teenagers, they are like in their 20s probably. This apartment is mostly college students. I only call them kids because I'm much older than them.

You need to slap them up and show them whos boss. Find out which apartment they live in and you and 2 of your buddies (If youve got buddies, that is) kick the door down and show them whos boss. Take a golf club with you and wear a mask. Smash em in the knee caps and then go Burger King. Dont be a P**** and do nothing about it.

The community within the apt complex would be the best way to police those kids. Maybe introduce yourself to your immediate next door neighbors to get the flow going. To be honest, whatever you decide, you will have to act fast because the more often you continue to park in the same spot, the retaliation pranks against tour car will probably get worse over time. I know others may joke around (or perhaps be quite serious) about dishing out street justice, but I can tell you from experience that this course of action will not work unless you move away from that complex the same day.

You guy's are all wrong,
You need to go and stand by your car get a megaphone, and yell into it and say something like this "THIS is the ultimate driving machine, it's called a BMW, if anyone touches this mofo, please understand this and I am not afraid to go back to prison... Bitches" Should work |

Do nothing especially if you move out in two weeks. You do not want the situation escalated and your car getting keyed!
