I would have gotten out an axe and started splitting everyones skull open within a mile radius.
Sorry, just wanted to be another internet thug talkin out of my a$$ about how I would have handled the situation.
In all seriousness, I hope the tapes (in actuality probably just a digital loop) show something. Good luck OP.

Too bad you didn't say something to her when you were parking. It would have set you up much better to deal with it later. As well, a short discussion as to why she was being such a cow may have saved the "key". Hindsight is 20/20 and tough to realize.
I definitely would have said something to the guy wrenching his bike. I sure hope you can get some video on this.
So, are you going to pursue this by looking for video and making a police report?

After 7 pages and 62 postings I just gotta know what kind of follow up we can expect now that you've shared this with us
I find it pure chit that it happened, I won't add my .02 as to what I would have done - don't want to suffer the same fate as what's in store for O.J.
I've now read how everybody else would have handled it but, cheez, don't keep us in suspense you're the only one who can take it to the next level. I won't be able to sleep if I don't hear back about what was on the survailance video
Eagerly awaiting it on You Tube

Any one KEYS a BIKE,CAGE, is a B!tch if a Man or Women. Should of would of could of. It's done only thing is the tape if there is one and it shows who keyed the Bike. I don't know what I would of done if it were me. First thought comes to mind would of kicked her Old mans Bike over. But you got to be sure who did it. I would of asked him and her about it. But May be you were so pissed you would of lost control and **** would of started. It sucks got to move on try to forget about it.

If this happens to anyone, this is what you do. .......
As soon as you see the scratch, walk back to the shop, and call police without the bitch knowing. Police come. Tell police you saw from the dealership the bitch keying the bike and ask the LEO to take her keys for examination.
It's their word against yours until they match your paint from the top of her key. (Or whatever she used to scratch the bike)
This happened to me with a car in Paris years ago. Someone saw the guy in the lot keying the car and told the restaurant manager; who went round all the tables discretely asking who owned the cage.
Idiot confessed in the station later. He had used a knife. I let the insurance company deal with it. 4 month later I lifted his address from the paperwork.
That chit's happened to me 4 times with cars, ......all in France. Only once did it come out. That time.

Maybe I'm going off topic here, but it seems like people are philosophizing about how wonderful it is to do nothing when people screw with you - sort of like those hippies in the old Billy Jack movies, I guess. Somebody tell me, when did we start calling letting somebody screw with you and doing nothing about it "the high road" or decide it makes you a "better man" or "more of a man." I always thought of it as just the opposite.

If I couldn't prove it....well it would be time for custom tins. Chalk it up to "$hit happens". But I have never seen anyone who rides a motorcycle vandalize one. The exception being angry scorned women of course.
If my OL keyed somebody's bike like that I would re-think my relationship...what a frickin bitch.

Sad to hear tales like this.....
Coulda LOUDLY asked the guy if he saw the worthless, gutless, scum sucking douche-bag that damaged your bike...... and if he couldnt tell ya....
Then I would ask LOUDLY at the counter inside if anyone seen the gutless, TOO much of a Puss, waste of space that damaged your bike.
If still no result....... Pace around your bike in the lot asking loudly why the Idiot diddnt have the Nuts to Stand up, since they believed they had a pair when they damaged your bike.
If nothing else...... hopefully the offender has to slink off with their tale between their legs......... And no telling what a sympathetic crowd might yield !
Anywyas............

Sorry that this happened to you. We are hoping this results in a new custom paint job for your whole bike. Let us know how it turns out.
