I was out for Pizza the other night with the wife. Two guy's walked up to my Vette, one butt leaned on it while talking with his wife. I meerly pushed the FOB button and set the alarm off. He damn near soiled his pants.

Someone is very angry with you, that spoiler and those side skirts look great...but are making it easy for a stalker to ID your vette from the other black ones.
Goodluck,
Also, did you buy the car locally? If so you may be getting flack based on the previous owners driving or social habits. Just a thought.

Only had one instance of vandalism on my Vettes in over 24 years of ownership, and that was right after I bought my first one. Sorry you are having so much trouble with the jerks, but don't give up on ownership.

When we hear of this type of vandalism, most of us think of some young punk trying to get his kicks. In reality however, it's people you least expect.
There was a thread earlier this year about a guy who had a Hummer H2 with a video security system installed. It busted an older man, probably in his late 60s keying the Hummer on both sides. Apparently, they tracked this guy down and he was upset over the price of gas and blamed every non tree hugger for the state of our economy.

! Even though she didn't hit the Vette hard, I still decided to press the panic button on the key fob. She jumped out of her pants and I heard her bitching to her husband to get a smaller car when they were walking up.

YES you are the only one. Just trying to make you feel better 
I used to think it was always the mustang guys but lately I'm convinced it's the green people! I parked next to a Prius the other day and it was very apparent where the envy came from. Don't be fooled by all the save the earth and green this green that talk, they are ruthless in their pursuit to assimilate us. Just for that reason you must resist and don't give up your Corvette, scratched or not. The rest of the Corvette brethren is counting on you to do the right thing 
J/k, that blows but don't let it get you down.

I had someone spit all down the driver's side window of my car once. I was parked in one really wide parking space in my parking deck. I don't know if they thought I was taking two spots or not. Either way, it was underserved and I was pissed...then I considered the person spitting on it causes less damage than a bird pooping on it....so it didn't bother me anymore.
So sorry to hear about this. Your insurance company is not going to like you.
