I suggest taking lots of photos of the damage including the undamaged areas nearby. Also, have the repair shop document the repair job...
True - it won't if you want the exact spec of run of the mill F-cars. Nor will it get you the VS of those cars, new. But assuming the car in...
Get your money back - its refundable. Buy a used Ferrari 296 GTS for 20% less than new with <1K mi on it. Sure, if you want to buy 10+ F-cars, go...

They might leave them in the car because there is a convenient slot that holds them. But even being nearby in the same room might be enough to...
It doesn't need to be charged nightly though - I think Ferrari is telling their customers that because people leave their keys in the car, because...
