yeah its a good minor thing everyone can do to ensure their front end continues to look pretty.
even when i parked my car (rear facing out), not parking like a jerk crossing lines, and didn't even park far away to draw attention, i still got my car keyed. the mall garage camera couldn't pickup the guy bc it was too blurry and technology was old.
i've been actively researching for dash cams. I'm looking to have a front and rear dash cam setup with active recording even when parked and car is turned off. i think the investment is well worth it. another forum member says he's invested $500-600 on his camera setup, but has caught so many people in hit and runs and his insurance as covered every time without req him to pay any deductible.

Many members say BlackVue is the way to go. Its kinda pricey.. ~$150 for one cam or $450 for two+some more perks.
There is tons more out there, but not sure of quality and reliability.

I purchased a BlackVue cam after my windshield was busted while parking at a friends overnight. The front cam records in 1080p the rear records 720p. It has motion detection and you can also set it to record for specific time intervals after your car is turned off and parked. Very clear videos and audio and you can also view it live from an app on your phone. It definitely wouldve caught whoever done this. A little pricey but the piece of mind is worth it.

First, that really sucks! I'd be making up curse words if that happen to me!
Second, I back in everywhere. Call it what you want, but if somethings about to go down, I want to be able to get out of a spot as fast as I can and having he front end out is a must! I get it with the front end parts cost more than the rear but that's not my concern.
Third, you should do a car check at the garage. It may have been done by a car the regularly visits the garage and based on the damage to your car, it's going to have damage too. Might be easy to find who did it that way.

I've done that when I was manager of a valet parking company. Ended up costing somebody their job when we figured out it was a hotel employee who did the hit and run, after we told the employees about 1000 times to not park in the valet section of the garage.
