Is there any way to tell what caused a scratch on a vehicle?

Question:
Person I know has a vehicle that has a big long scratch on it. He thinks someone keyed the vehicle. Is there any way or any one that can look at it and say "Yep" that was keyed or "No, a vehicle or someting else did this"?

Perhaps a good body shop would be able to ascertain this.

is the bell housing on a fwd 84 cadillac eldorado compatible with a 350? ( I want to swap out the 4.1 p.o.s.)?

If it was something other than a key (such as a vehicle), then there would probably be some significant dents as well.

Yea, Play the video...Seriously,if you have a scratch the length of the vehicle and it has a little wave in it ,then it was keyed....it takes about 5 pounds of pressure, yet it has to go in and out maintaining pressure to achieve the scratch, it takes a human to maintain the pressure...otherwise it would have skips in it and it would continue straight off the back,....maybe marking the side of the taillight lens also... and the wave also means it was human because if it was a driver caused scratch it would be straight and the same height off the gtound in front and back....but a video is always the BEST way to prove it
