Yeah man, it sucks. Hit and runs happen all the time, and it's even worse when it's a car like a Corvette.

How bad is the damage? Can you take and post pics?

Sorry to hear about that. I have had that happen to my drivers before, I think I would go nuts if it happens to my vette. Does the area have surveillance cams? Maybe you will get lucky and find a video, and catch the moron. Good luck.

I just won't drive the car in heavy traffic or park it during busy times. If I must park in a lot, I'll look for a remote area where most folks DON'T park or keep it within sight. There are folks...who drive junky trucks [mostly]...like to bump into nice vintage cars, if they have the opportunity. Jealousy, I guess. If you don't want it damaged, don't park it in a public lot...or stay close to it, if you do. Sorry, man.

At least if you park in the front people will be more likely to see someone hit it and report 'em.

Funny how we perceive our Corvettes. My 73 is probably a $12K car on a good day.
My DD worth 3 times as much sits outside all winter long

Vincent after his Chevelle got keyed: Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that a@@hole doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it.
