Someone Jumped on my fit!

Someone Jumped on my fit!
I went out to my car this morning to go to work, and I noticed a shoe print on the hood.... Looking closer I noticed another shoe print on the hood, but this time it looks like it scrapped. The car is currently dirty, so now upon further inspection it looks like the scraping scratched the paint.
Then it hit me, why would someone jump on my hood if for not to jump on the roof........ Noticed a large dent and a bunch of smaller dents, on the roof. Not super bad, but noticeable. I am going to go wash the car after work so I can see if I am missing anything.
This sucks, I feel pretty depressed about it actually. First new car, only 6 months old...
I am going to take it to a body shop to see how bad it is to fix. I feel like I can get a suction cup and pull out the dents on my own....
Some background, I live in San Francisco and park my car on the street. I am assuming someone from one of the bars close to me got drunk and was showing off to their drunk friends by running and jumping off my car.

I actually had something worse happen the week I got my Civic many years ago-someone keyed it. They did the ENTIRE car..hood, trunk, doors, roof. Big deep scratches on my nice shiny new black car...I was ANGRY, to say the least (and no, I didn't have any enemies at the time-it was just not a great neighborhood with lots of students in the area)
My point is this - my insurance covered it to be entirely repainted, minus the deductible. Vandalism is vandalism - that's what comprehensive coverage is for. If your car gets dinged and dented in a hailstorm your insurance needs to cover it.
You should be able to get it fixed if you comprehensive, minus your deductible.. even with the roof damage. It depends on how much the fix is going to be in the end, weather it's worth it to get insurance involved though.

Bay too hyphy. Sorry man.
Do you think SFPD is going to dust for prints?
They just found a chopped up body in a suitcase yesterday.
1. Report to insurance
2. Take pictures
3. Wash car
4. Call insurance and lower your deductible for next time. Usually the premium increase is not very much, and being in the city, I'm sure you'll need it.
In for pics.

Contacted my insurance company, already setup with an appointment with the body repair shop that they work with.
I think I might get a second quote from a independent shop, so I can compare.

Jealousy breeds contempt. The culprit will get his "karma" one day. Am glad you decided to get a second quote. Going to a body shop your familiar with, or one that has a good reputation will make your GK looking like new again.
Post pics of the result.

We learned to have a zero deductible on comprehensive after my wife hit a deer. The next year both our cards were damaged in a hail storm, and State Farm shelled out thousands to repair them. On the other hand, we have a $2000.00 deductible should we get into a wreck that is our fault, so as you can imagine, we drive carefully.
Sorry you are having to go through this. Only people whose parents are still paying their bills, would be irresponsible enough to do something like this.

Someone broke the back window out of our Honda Odyssey, while we were in a public parking lot. We went to dinner downtown with friends and when we came back, we found the damage. Our insurance company asked if we filed a police report, but since they were my first call, we hadn't. Since we have been with them for over 20 years, they told us not to worry about it, and they scheduled the back window to be replaced.
Having said that, if there is a next time, the police will be my first call.
