I'm happy to say it wasn't
at C&C (otherwise i'd probably lose all faith in mankind at that point) but sorry to hear about the blatant disrespect to your car.. you'd think 'car guys' are one of the last groups of people that have any respect for each other anymore!
What happened is my dad was visiting town from the east coast and neither of us had ever been to C&C so I drove down from Santa Monica to check it out. Afterwards we rode up PCH and stopped a the Galley Cafe in Newport Beach to grab some breakfast. I parked just around the corner from the front door so I couldnt see the car out the window. We could see the owners of the red Cobra & black Viper chatting though who were parked one car in front of me. I remember because we were anxious to see/hear them pull away, so we paid the bill a few minutes after they left. Walked outside to see the front of my former-virgin '99 M3 smashed in all the way to the fan. The SUV that was parked between us had backed into the car so hard it set the alarm off, but since we were sitting by the radio in the cafe I never heard it
I asked inside the cafe, went across the parking lot to the other store, and even knocked on the door of the people who lived across the street to see if any surveillance cameras in the area had a vantage point that captured the culprit. According to sthornton, he and his buddy watched a few people get out of the white Escalade to look at the damage while my alarm was going off. They left without leaving a note or coming inside to ask if the car belonged to anyone. One woman sitting inside said she heard the alarm going off as she walked in.
So unfortunately despite there being 3 witnesses, no one took down the plate number
