Saabee,
So sorry to read what happened to your car. On our way up to visit family for Christmas, my passenger side door received a ding which took a whole chip of paint out and left scratches. Didn't notice it till I was wiping the car down the next morning. I was really pissed. My car was only five months old. Pretty sure it was a white SUV parked next to my car.
Fortunately, I found someone in LA who does "dentless repair". He did a great job and gave me the name of a guy who does wonderful paint detail work. He actually picked up the colors to mix the paint rather than using the touch up kit the dealer provided. He charged me only fifty dollars because he does work for the leasing company down the street and didn't have to travel. This guy was great he went over the whole car and even found one or two little stone chips which I hadn't noticed.
I am not sure that damaging or letting the air out of the perpetrator's tires is the best approach. I know it is really hard not to act on one's anger and return the damage. Maybe calling the cops is the best way to deal with it that is if you are fortunate enough to notice when it has happened.
