Brass musical instruments which play well may be heavily used and eventually develop their share of lacquer or plating loss, dings, dents, scratches, etc. The instruments that are kept in pristine condition do not necessarily play well and can even fall suspect as not being very good playing instruments.
You can even buy new guitars which have an already weathered and worn finish - lending an air of credibility to the player. (Of course, everyone knows the true story once they hit the strings...)
Instead of getting angry about these things happening, maybe take the perspective that these cosmetic imperfections earn the driver street cred that their car is the real deal - not a useless trophy left in a glass case.
Wear your battle scars proudly!
... of course if I catch anyone damaging my Camaro, I'll take them on a very long ride deep into the woods once I manage to stuff them (and my trusty shovel) past the awkward trunk opening. After disengaging the safety latch, of course...
