Take Home Message

Protect your vehicle from vandalism by parking in well-lit areas, in plain view, and in a garage/driveway if possible. Not all vandalism, such as smearing bodily waste, causes actual damage to the car. This means your insurance would not cover this particular kind of incident. In other cases where vandals cause damage to your vehicle, it pays to have proper insurance.
