(NOT OT)May the fleas of 1000 camels infest the incompetent crotch of whoever had the

audacity to kick/dent my car, fuhrtermore may their arms be severed and the only thing available to itch their crotch be my glowing hot catalytic converter.
*breathe...*
ok....

Last night someone put a dent in my passenger side front door, a little under and after the mirror (on the top part of the door, above that "fold line")
The dent appears as if i could removed the interior trib of the door and pop it out that way, but it is fairly large. I did not notice any scratches by it, but there was something looking like a shoe kick lower on the door. I havent washed the car to inspect more closely as to retain evidence. Will post pictures soon.

Several question arise from this incident:

Is this a DIY dent pull/push (what does the inside of the door look like, can one access the dent and push it out) is this overly simplified and is dent pulling/pushing a much trickier affair??

I have scoured the web for remote key fob so i can utilize my installed bmw alarm system (namely the shock sensor). It seems like the original one for my 95 525 is rare and pricey! i have found generics that claim compatability for around 40-50. Is there ANY way i can use my alarm system without keyless entry?? Is anyone selling theirs for a reasonable price?

Finally, i live on a campus.... campus security will not do anything but take a report, (i have lost my in car phone antenna before..). I am in my new found state of hopefully temporary paranoia. open to perhapsbuying a cheap walmart surveilance camera and mounting it near. anyone have expirience with this, any other ideas, or mind talking me out of it?

Thanks!
