So witnesses have a lic plate number, but next question is if the property security cameras cover that part of the lot well enough to see what happened. Probably might be difficult to prosecute the owner of the car as it could be someone else.

Even though the Vette is trashed, the main and most important thought is that you and your wife are unharmed.....like you mentioned if you were almost at your vehicle when this happen, things could have got ugly.
Two of my cars have been stolen in my lifetime, yea, it sucks....but I'm still here, and we're all glad that nothing happen to you and the Mrs.......
As they say, cars can be replaced, people, well not that easy!!!

Couldn't agree more with GSJoe's comments; looks like these rat bastards were trying to achieve "social justice" and your Grand Sport was their outlet. That's why I mainly just drive mine to shows, hang out near it, and drive it back to my garage. I'm too scared to park and leave it anywhere, lest some lowlife scum decide I'm a showoff for simply owning it and teach me a lesson.

So sorry this happened to you, Jerry. But glad you and your wife are safe.

The Casino has a little responsibility here also unless their parking lot is a wrecking yard.

I am still mad as hell and this kind of event is extremely rare and I am much more concerned about the other driver being sober than some drunk azz that just lost his last quarter in some slot machine.

Geez. This pees me off

Sorry to hear about this, I hate when bad things happen to good people. I believe in karma, and what goes around, comes around. May not be right away, but they'll pay for it one way or another.

Jerry,

Really sorry to hear of what happened. Like what vilant said, "what goes around, comes around".

rhipsher · 03-16-2015

Damn Jerry! Some people are animals. What a coward. I'd say valet park from now on.

Jerry, this is horrible. I am glad to see you and Karen are safe.

Thanks again for everyone's concern.
There is so much really fine glass all through the interior. It's in everything, carpet upholstery dash ducts door panels. I'm really concerned about getting it in our eyes when top is off, windows down or high blower.

We decided to not drive it again & trade to dealer for 2015 Z-51 LT-1 black coupe.
If it's only as good as the Grand Sport, we will be most certainly happy. It's surprising to me, but I'm really going to miss the Grand Sport. What a great driver with lots of performance for a road car.

Silver lining to every cloud! I love them C7s. I'll never replace my Z but thinking of adding a C7 myself.
