WOW 
. Guess it's time to set up a surveillance system huh? I know I would. Then I'd f-uck those fools up as soon as I saw them come back.

Dont worry about it, just can clean it up and move on.... I had paint stripper splashed over my car and that was a whole different ball game.!

Don't eggs typically ruin the clear coat shortly before starting in on the paint?
I'd call my insurance agent and tell him "You know that guy Mayhem from the Allstate commercial? Well, he just cost me a $250 deductible. Rumor has it that you guys will pay a bit more."

The egg thing already ruin the clear coat and its under the paint, so there is nothing I can do about it. I saw it in the morning but I gotta go to work so didn't even have time to clean those up till 4 pm, and it was too late... sucks, now it's so ugly but one of the good thing about silver color is that you will see it less than any other colors...

WTF is this world coming to? Wheres da fkn bacon!! Foul schit, egg can damage the paint!
The egg white (also referred to as the albumen) is made up of 15 percent of proteins. Its main purpose is to protect the yolk while providing nutrients to the embryo. Because of its protective composition, egg whites are used for several purposes, including waterproof glue, so it's easy to understand how this part of the egg can dry and then stick to the surface of car paint. If it is not dealt with quickly, it can become extremely difficult to remove from the surface of the car without wet sanding and repainting the damaged area.

During the Northridge quake, my motorcycle tipped into one of my other cars in my garage. The bike was fine but the handle bars gouged the daylights out of the car fender (it was a long quake). I didn't have earthquake insurance and the bike was with a different insurance company. My Allstate agent called after the quake to see how I was doing. After telling my agent about the car, she said, "You don't have earthquake damage. Something in your garage fell and damaged your car. The car is covered." I paid zero deductible, had rental coverage, and the car was fixed at the best place in town - with no increase in premiums. Mayhem is Allstate's problem, not mine.

Dude Erric, I'm so sorry to hear.. My car got egged like almost two months ago too, but a few other cars in my neighborhood got hit too so I don't think my car was targetted. They also left a nice ripple on my paint too. Damn kids!

Me personally, that’s why I have insurance - so I don't have to hear about what it costs to properly paint a Mercedes. If Allstate bumps your rate significantly, you can always drop them after they fix it and get insurance through some other carrier. I’ve had Allstate since 1985 and I don't think they will raise your rate.
During the Northridge quake, my motorcycle tipped into one of my other cars in my garage. The bike was fine but the handle bars gouged the daylights out of the car fender (it was a long quake). I didn't have earthquake insurance and the bike was with a different insurance company. My Allstate agent called after the quake to see how I was doing. After telling my agent about the car, she said, "You don't have earthquake damage. Something in your garage fell and damaged your car. The car is covered." I paid zero deductible, had rental coverage, and the car was fixed at the best place in town - with no increase in premiums. Mayhem is Allstate's problem, not mine.
