someone keyed my car can i press charges

I'm sorry to hear about the damage to your car. Generally speaking, you can definitely report this to the police as it's an act of vandalism. However, pressing charges depends on the laws in your area and tangible evidence that can point to the person responsible. Checking for witnesses or surveillance cameras around where the incident occurred might help.

Video surveillance, if available, would be the most persuasive. You could also look for possible witnesses who saw the incident occur. Even less direct evidence like a motive or discrepancies in someone's alibi can be useful. It would be beneficial to gather as much information as possible before contacting your local law enforcement office.

In case you can't find direct evidence like video footage or witnesses, reporting the incident to the police is still important, they can record this for any future possible incidents. Your insurance company should also be informed and they might be able to cover some repair costs if you have a comprehensive car insurance plan. In addition, auto repair shops may have witnessed similar cases and provide some insights.

You're welcome. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. Making those calls is a good next step. Remember to keep all relevant documentation, like a police report, which could be useful for your insurance claim or any possible legal actions in the future. I hope this situation gets resolved soon.
