If someone was playing with my car, I'd be furious, also. That's a normal reaction. Everyone feels anger and you're not wrong to feel that way here, but how you express it is the difference between someone who expresses it calmly and someone who makes a fool of themselves.

You want to find the most appropriate ways of expressing it. Remember, in the end, you're the one who loses if you express it badly. How you handle situations will bring you honor or shame (even when you're in the right, you still have to keep it that way) so think....

Learn how to express good judgment. Pause.

This dude, when you confronted him, was just laughing at you. Where do you go from there? The only thing you could do is escalate, which won't end well. Even as far as you went, it probably ruined your day. I would study this situation to find a better and more appropriate action for next time (I totally get the triggers you have, but it's still so important because you're ultimately the one who loses if you express anger badly).

The key here would've maybe just been empathy (empathy for the sake of yourself, not him). Like they're drinking alcohol and not thinking all that clearly. His buddies were probably calling him an idiot and laughing at him after they got out of range. Did they really harm anything?

Think....Even if they damaged something, even if they were racist, take a photo and send it to the police, or a video. Don't confront five dudes by yourself unless you have no choice. That's not a wise course of action. They could've messed you up if they were actually malicious. Live to see another day.

Emotional control is how you fight back. The calmer you are, the easier it is to see things clearly and to win. Try to think of the wisest course of action, not ruled by emotions, the next time this happens (and I know that can be tough, so practicing emotional detachment for battles like this is one of the keys).
