Working in North East Los Angeles I had some clown smear my Stingray with cheese and then threw the rest in my fuel tank. It took several carb rebuilds to get all that cheese out. Forget sugar in the tank use cheese.
I think I could live with a little spit. Egg washes off it sucks big time but it does come off.

Not much worse than someone hacking up flim on the old vette.
If you find them, you might introduce them to the use of a clay bar.
Take it in your hand and whack it beside their head a few times.

Sorry that happened. 
but yeah, that stuff happens to us. I hope to god I never catch anyone doing something to my car. I had some kid toss a half full chocolate milk with some other crap mixed in out of a moving schoolbus onto my windshield while I was driving, I was so stunned (not to mention blinded) I couldn't even react. There are always going to be people that are jealous of what others have. I guess in a way you were lucky becuase it sure could have been worse. Let's hope you never need to see this type of crap again.

As a matter of fact, I can still show you the melted spot (yep, still have it!

Like others have said - we should be thankful it wasn't worse.

This year with my new vette, I was at an Autozone store buying some cleaning supplies, was standing at the cash register watching my car which was parked right out front. I watched a guy get out of a ricer, walk by my car and spit right on my hood. Oh I was pissed, and the guy was coming in the store! I paid for my stuff, and met him at the front door and confronted him. I called him about everyname in the book, and he replied "What are you going to do about it?" I replied, "watch me"
I walked out and hocked a huge goober on his hood and flipped him the bird. He just watched me and did nothing about it, he knew I was super pissed off.
I went home and cleaned my car, I can't some believe people.

Reminds me of a story, brand new paint job on my first car. Granted it was a POS AMC Hornet but it was MY POS. Anyhow I pull into the grocery store and park as I am getting out of the car a guy flings open his Caddy's door and creases my door paint. I am calm thinking at the exact moment it was an accident. The guy walks past me chuckling and I sat there with my mouth wide open in disbelief. I could not fathom not talking with the person if I was involved with this. Hell its an accident. I sat a moment pondered what to do as he went in the store. I then remembered I had a nice set of cowboy boots on and promptly danced on his hood. Not exactly sure but I would bet there was no way in hell he was gunna buff that out.

Back in the '80's, I went to lunch at the Sizzlers with my girlfriend at the time in my 1984 Black Z51 coupe. I parked at the back of the lot where there was no one and when I came out someone had keyed it down the drivers side from the door handle to the front fender well. This is still one of the easiest and nastiest things someone can do to a car.
