Januar 2026 Aktualisiert: 5. Januar 2026 Vandalism damage to a car hits many car owners unexpectedly: scratches in the paint, kicked-in mirrors or wilfully destroyed windows are not only annoying but often expensive to repair. Those who proceed correctly in such a situation can avoid later disadvantages. This article shows what matters in [documentation](/ratgeber/schadengutachten), when an independent appraisal is useful and how damage can be professionally classified. Kurzantwort Vandalism exists when a vehicle is intentionally damaged. Accurate documentation of the damage is important – regardless of whether a perpetrator is known or not. For larger or unclear damage, a neutral technical appraisal can help. ## What counts as vandalism damage? Vandalism exists when a vehicle is intentionally damaged – for example by scratching, hitting, kicking or painting. Typical cases include: Paint scratches from sharp objects Dents in the bodywork Smashed windows or headlights Torn-off mirrors or trim strips Tyres that were deliberately slashed Paint attacks or graffiti Vandalism often occurs on publicly parked vehicles. Accurate documentation of the damage is important. ## Step 1: Document damage carefully To keep the damage traceable, thorough documentation is crucial: #### Take photos From different angles, in daylight. Both overview shots of the vehicle and detail photos of affected areas. #### Use a scale reference A coin or ruler helps illustrate scratch depth or dents. #### Record the surroundings Note location, date, time and visible traces (e.g. glass splinters). #### Don't alter the vehicle Don't clean or repair anything before documentation. **Optionally, a police report can also be filed –** especially for significant damage or when the insurance requires it. ## Step 2: Technical classification by experts Not every paint scratch is equally deep, not every dent equally in need of repair. A technical expert can: #### Assess damage Professionally assess the type and extent of damage #### Analyse depth Distinguish whether only the paint surface or deeper layers are affected #### Estimate age Indicate whether individual damages are already older or newly added #### Suggest repair Suggest a suitable repair method (e.g. spot repair, complete repainting) #### Calculate costs Calculate the expected repair costs This neutral assessment creates clarity – for conversations with the insurance, but also for personal orientation. ## When is an appraisal worthwhile? An independent vehicle expertise is particularly useful when: The damage appears extensive or expensive A discussion with the insurance is expected The vehicle is high-value or new Evidence preservation is sought, e.g. with known perpetrators The appraisal documents all damage neutrally and traceably.
