Has this ever happened to you?

I don't know why people cannot take responsibility for their mistakes. I am sure the person who hit you did not mean to do so, and probably damaged their own vehicle as well. If it happened in a parking lot, it's not even considered a traffic violation (at least here in Fla). However, leaving without providing contact and insurance info makes the owner subject to a charge of hit and run or leaving the scene of an accident. I know because I actually watched as a woman backed her pickup truck into my boxster, get out of the truck to see what she hit, jump back in the truck and then take off. Luckily I got the tag number. The hood, left headlight assembly and front bumper had to be replaced, but insurance covered it and the car is now as good as new. The big hit comes when you try to sell the car. I have been told that the resell value dropped 4-5K because of the repairs.

As for keying and other vandalism, I have had my car egged but thankfully never keyed. Just jealous a-holes who lack respect for anyone else's belongings. Probably inflated their ego to ruin someone else's day.
