When I had my 89 BMW, those bastards kept stealing the emblem off the front also.
A hood respray and emblem might be less than cheaper than an insurance deductible, especially if you do the prep yourself.

You could get a decal from Ebay as temporary patch.

One of the modifications I've never gotten around to is replacing the gold crest for a silver one. Probably because they're about $100... Every repair is an oppourtunity for an upgrade. Looks like you'll be heading for the paint booth unfortunately.

As for your young vandals, I recently set up a couple of dummy surveillance cameras at a relatives house.
It's a condo so there is no garaged or covered parking. They have a neighbohr with really rotten kids who go about breaking windows and similar. I went to Lowe's and picked up a couple of these fake cameras from General Electric for about $23 each. They look like those small webcams but have a small red LED in front that flashes. I took some black electrical tape and attached a spare USB cord to each one to make it look like it was connected to actual surveilance hardware. At night it flashes very brightly. I thought about putting one inside of my car when I park it somewhere with a little glow in the dark sign over it that says "4G Surveillance".

You need the Car Zapper 9000

The are also cheap in car surveillance cameras that I had been considering as well.

I'll bet they left finger prints on your shinny car, make the police work for your tax dollars and have them lift the prints and check the database.
