Sorry to hear that. Some people just can't be happy for those who enjoy a good car.

People are hatin' like never before. Makes me think twice about taking my Vette out to places I can't keep an eye on it.

Not a psychiatrist, but my guesses are:
1) They have never been taught respect by their family.
2) They have failed at something or have always been a failure and don't like themselves very much, thus "revenge" on someone who has done well.
3)They are ignorant and somehow don't understand that they succeed after failure, but it takes effort.
And this in the greatest nation ever, where even our poor are better off than most of the rest of the world.
Just my wild guesses of course....

I share your pain!
Two places to always avoid with a Corvette for certain:
(1) Any place where people walk between cars in groups (2 or more people in close proximity). Movie theaters, Malls, etc.
(2) Anywhere alcohol is served.

I know a couple other Vette owners in my area who had their cars keyed as well. I really think the struggling economy and all this "socialistic solutions" thinking is starting to twist people's minds. 
I've been through rough times before, however this recession has really brought out some mean spirited people. Since my verte is not my DD, it's gotten to the point where I only drive it when I won't leave it parked for any length of time or to Corvette-specific events and other car enthusiast shows.
People who don't aspire to owning a Corvette or other nice sports car would rather (weakly) show their frustration and displeasure that you own one by damaging it. That's easier than getting their financial house in order and setting a goal.

That is HORRIBLE.
Last summer I took a rental car to grab something and parked right in front of a video game store... came out less than 5 minutes later to find the front fender keyed
. It wasn't my car, but I was still furious.
Fortunately, the scumbag must have been a weak little punk, and only got into the clear coat, so I polished it out with my magical 3M Scratch and Swirl Remover (#39009).
I hope you get your C5 fixed up good as new.
