    I feel your anger OP. Someone kicked my passenger side door and left a scuff on the paint. Thankfully there was no dent from it. Some people are just filthy nut gargling man ass lovers.

    Man that really sucks!!! I know exactly how you feel. It just happened to me too and I just had a very nice custom paint job put on. I plan on purchasing these.

    Aaaghh! No note, no nothing. I even parked on the top level of the airport parking garage way away from everyone.

    I used mine to send USAA footage when my truck got hit this spring. Was an open and shut case anyways, but "overwhelming" evidence never hurts. Do wish they had a discount though, since video is definitely a way for them to save money on the "determination of guilt" phase.

    Get that footage from Home Depot. You'll at least be able to pick out what car it is. Then you'll be able to see which direction they came in and can potentially find another camera down the road that has their plate (utilize timestamps). And press charges when you find out who it is, because screw those people.

    I would bet the cops are the only ones who could view it.
    I had my truck keyed at work and they said the cameras are for them, not me.

    I feel your pain. Wife went outside after shopping last Tuesday. Found this. E1413ECC-7CB0-4F37-B8B3-F13D9808FB0B.jpg

    Ordered the parts that day. Painted it Thursday and installed my light bar that night. Good to go! 10541858-D358-4CEB-A95B-74C095413C2D.jpg

    Sorry to hear and see this, this has also happened to me at Home Depot. Someone “kindly” parked the big orange wood carrying type carts next to my rear right, and another idiot trying to park or pull out wedged/squeezed it into my vehicle. Now I park far enough that the typical lazy people that are capable of this wouldn’t even consider. I just have to walk further and cart further but one out weighs the other.

    Google how to pop a large dent on YouTube using a heat gun and ice method...it works for areas where the metal is not thick or crimped near edges.

    Wait, someone ripped it off straight out? That sucks but at the same time looks like it was clean enough that it didn’t damage everything else around it? Maybe just those annoying blue clips on the far left and far right? Those were hard enough to take off when I was replacing mine willingly from body colored to black...

    Yep. She walked out to it laying about a foot away. Perfect indent in the plate and to the left of it where a hitch ball pushed into it. Replaced the plastic absorber, cover and the plate bracket.
