Looks like someone is either pissed off at you, or the previous owner (and not knowing that it had been sold, saw a good opportunity to get even), or some kids were playing in the wrong place and you suffered the misfortune of being parked in the wrong place.
You could go to Home Depot and pick up a "security camera" from their A/V department for $50, set it up (when no one's around so they don't end up shooting it out, too) in an inconspicuous, out of sight place and try to catch the culprit(s) that way.
I've found that a similar set up mated with my car's alarm and my modified Sig Sauer 6 to be a rather effective deterrent to many would be thieves or vandals.

I agree with the security camera... I have one mounted on the eve of my house viewing my driveway, because i had some bad neighbors that i did not trust. Luckily, they moved out now, but i still have the camera mounted up on the eve, but havnt used it lately. It is a night vision camera about the size of a shot glass, got it at Harbor Freight for $30. It just runs to RCA plugs, that you can plug into your TV, VCR or whatever.

I feel for ya.
Today I was doing some work on a stereo and I put my Runner in Neutral (for more room) and had my foot on the brake. I finished what i was doing and totally forgot I was in neutral. I took my foot off the brake and I was on a slight incline. I had to jump in as it was rolling backwards. Before I got my foot on the brake the door got on the side of my house!!!!!!!
It jacked up how the door would seat when closed initially. Got it kinda fixed but man did it PISS ME OFF!
Sorry about yours!

Your alarm wasn't going off in the middle of the night? That was how my window was shot when I was living in Brooklyn. That's why I moved to Jersey. 
I feel for you man...
