don't lie on the police report. you didn't report it right away, so they won't believe you. the fact that she called and said "enjoy your ride" is enough for the police to question her. maybe she'll get scared and fes up. once you have the police report, you'll have leverage to use against her. you can offer to drop the charges if she covers the deductible. the only problem you may run into is that your insurance will likely want to go after her for the full amount. if that's the case, **** her. she did it. she should have to pay for it.

I donno about in your state.. but in florida... anything over 500$ in damage is considered a felony and she can be put in jail... also you can get her to pay for it.. if you choose not to go down that route... you can get your insurance company to pay vandalism charges.. you will have to pay your deductible... but they will cover everything else...
personally, i'd press charges......

Totally unacceptable - Def get the police involved (I'm sure you did by now)...press charges if possible.
Keep your cool - I know you're still running on adrenaline but it will blow over.
Moreover, get the edge of that driver's door fixed
(It could be worse... you could have been married to that crazy chick
)

Sorry about the key incident but I have a way of looking at it that keeps me sane.
The Lexus will be fixed........the mental scars on the person who DID the act will be there for a long time whether spouse or just a miscreant vandal and maybe forever.
Whoever did it is a sad and scarred case ..........Lexus will live to fight another day.....the person may not.
File the PD incident report and get the insurance company to do what they get paid to do and just smile and go on..............you get a new paint job afterall.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
I called the police that night but I did not implicate her. My total cost for comprehensive is $100.00 so I will be ok. She has agreed to pay for my rental car and deductable.

Record a conversation between you and her and try to get her to implicate herself. Start off talking to her with the assumption that you know she keyed your car and hope that she confirms it herself at one point.

if she's paying for it, i'd just let it go. prosecute her and she'll feel like she has to get you back. from the looks of it, your paint needed some work anyway. take it to a lexus certified shop and it'll look good as new.

It's out of your hand once the insurance company jumps in anways, she's an ex, screw it. Beezy keyed your car, she can pay for it, ALL of it, not just a tiny $100 deductible.
