As I looked closer, I noticed every exterior panel had been keyed !!! I had her repainted, but the value dropped by 1/3 overnight. I decided then and there, I would never pay cash for another luxury car, lease only. I wound up keeping it for a few months, and ordering a new one, which in retrospect was kinda dumb.

The good news, is that there was no harm done to you or your family! She will look brand new when the body shop gets through with her. Don’t make the mistake I did years ago, and trade it. Keep and drive it! It’s an awesome car I’m sure.

I don't understand why still no car manufacturer offers a built in dashcam
(the e-class has 4 cameras which could easily be hooked up to the system)

there are cloud based dashcams that can send you an sms when there's an event (and start filming at the same time),
but in order to do so it needs to be hooked up to the car's wifi... which in MB's case is switched off in park mode...
