Temp insanity
If you caught someone doing that to your vette and you hurt them (fist, rock, 2 by 4, etc, could you plead temporary insanity?? If I were the judge and had a vette, I'd say "yes".
Sorry about your damage. I can imagine how you feel.

My wife's transparent targa top on her C4 got egged once. Damn kids!! It actually slightly spider cracked the top and left the telltale ring in the top.
Apparently, the drivers door on my 2005 C6 was egged before I got the car (bought it used). My body shop guy saw it and said it was an egg that did the damage. It seems eggs are highly corrosive and "etched" the paint. Only fix is a re-paint so it is still there....for now.

It's the albumin in the egg(whites)which has a lot of acids and etch the paint.
Some kids egged my wifes RAV4 a few years ago and added maple syrup and flour to the mix. I saw it in time because some of the residue hit my '94 TT Supra so there I was washing 2 cars at 11pm that night.
She had chastised them for littering our neighborhood and they had their pound of flesh. Couldn't prove it though. Once the egg dries it's just about impossible to correct it cheaply. Sorry.

Coked!
I was lucky when I parked in a dark Cracker Barrell parking lot, I went inside to eat, they were crowded as usual and no out of places to park. My wife and I came outside (windows were left cracked for the dog) and coke was thrown all over the windshield and top of the car, none got inside. I was lucky, unfortunately you weren't. I was not in a wealthy state, apparently they didn't appreciate the car.

Providing it is truly scratched and not chipped all the way through the paint, go to your local body shop supply store and get these three 3M polishing compounds. Start with the middle one and go up to the most abrasive one on the left only if you have to. Get the special pads for each (here's hoping you have a random orbital buffer??). Work on the spot carefully -- if anything is going to take them out and smooth the area, these are what you need:
Great advice. Sorry this happened. What happened to the old days when you egged police cars and got chased? If you got caught you had to wash the car.
