Luckily there is body damage, a new top will be an easy fix

I'm sorry to hear that you doing the right thing resulted in this. I agree with others, my biggest fear with the Vette is other people. I just doesn't pay to have nice things. So many just don't get it.

That sucks. I know it is a lot to ask of people but I have a few people who will come and get me and my car no matter how late and I would do the same for them.

I'd rather see a Vette "hurt" than the driver or someone else being injured/killed.
It's to bad you can't leave anything around these days without it getting stolen or vandalized. But your safe and the car is repairable.
