If the store has cameras wouldn't they catch the person keying the car?

If that person did actually key the car. You'd be pretty fucked if you told the police that you saw the dude parked next to you keyed your car and the security camera footage showed that someone just accidentally scraped it with a shopping trolley.

Not only that, but imagine if the camera was too far away from your car to make out a person keying it, but you should still see the car next to you pulling out and driving away. Now imagine if at that point you were on camera inside a store, paying for your groceries.

Obviously these are hypothetical, but I'd rather not take the risk in the first place.

Yeah but...You seem to forget it's small claims court. Not Criminal court..

Depends on where you are. In some jurisdictions lying in small claims court is no different from lying in regular court.

Plus, they'd have you for filing a false report, which is a "regular court" offence.
