Who still carries keys anyway?
Guy to judge:
"I was confused and tried to get into the wrong car. I kept trying my keys but there didn't seem to be any keyhole..."

That's a whole lot of inferences to be made about someone you saw in a video keying a car, who may just be angry because he couldn't open the door enough to fit his grandson in as easily as he would have liked.
You really have no idea who he is or what he believes so going down this path is just not productive.

Sadly, I "keyed" my own car accidentally by walking too close to it while carrying a knife in my front pocket. The pocket clip left an ugly 4-inch line.
Did you at least delete the video?

How about, you know, jail. Wanton and deliberate property destruction from this thug deserves loss of freedom to dissuade future incidents.
I just watched the clip again, this time full screen. The keyer is stepping on what appears to be a diagonal, thick white line that crosses under the Tesla. Was the Tesla even parked in an actual parking space?
Im 100% for all penalties against the keyer, but this is an example of why I always, always park at FAR end of parking lot, in an end space, away from all. (Plus I need the walking)

Yes, this guys is a scumbag, but jails are crowded and expensive, and there are other punishments that could work better, at least in cases like this.
Punitive damages often are not allowed in Small Claims. I am sure it is state driven though.
You may be right. It looks like the truck was right on his parking line, but it also looks like OP may have been parked in a no parking zone. The plot thickens....
It is hard to tell what was going on just from the sentry cam video. It looked to me like the kid was carrying a Target shopping bag, so I checked out the Auburn Hills Taget parking lot and there are a lot of potentially confusing markings there.
Probably not even that parking lot, but was OP parked in a loading zone? Short term parking? Handicapped spot? We don't know what kind of spot they were in and if they had the "right" to be using it.
But it still doesn't excuse the guy keying their car no matter what it was.
Hopefully the OP will chime in about whether they were over the line or not.
It's hard to tell from the video, but at the 11 second mark is when the first keying occurs so it seems like he's clearly mad at the lack of space.
The truck is clearly at the edge of his line in the back, but I can't tell if the Tesla is or not. I don't see any evidence that the OP is parked any worse than the truck.
The truck seems to me to actually be on the line, not at the edge. To me, that means that he is not parked correctly. As far as the OP goes, hard to tell. There is a broad stripe there that could indicate that he is not supposed to be parked there.
Sounds like you're applying gridiron rules to it.
I follow the more defense friendly definition where it's not a score unless you cross the line. Plus in this situation (if the assumed parking lot is correct) both drivers have a separate line. So that means there should be plenty of space as long as neither vehicle has crossed the line.
The pickup is also less than half over line, and I'd give that half to him.
