M3 Needs Help...

My M3 got keyed last night. I need to know the best solution for using some time of very tiny camera/ cameras to catch whoever did it if it happens again or any other solution you guys know of. Also, where to get a locking key gas cap that will fit on the M3 and how that will work since the one that is on there stock is attached. Thanks in advance.

The gas door locks. Find a different place to park (preferably in a locked garage).

Does it really? Maybe I never noticed cause I always fill up with the car unlocked and the drivers door open. So if I lock my car then the gas door is locked as well?

It's a long story. I know who did it, but I can't prove it. Basically just a pussy douche. My car is in a parking garage that is well lit.

Are you in college? College students (or young people in general) need no excuse to do things like that. When was the last time a 40 something keyed a car? Low probability.
