I'd be hesitant to use anything else not made for this.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

+1 on the polish. I would hold off on the high grit sand paper until you have to because it will take a lot of work.

it may sound weird, but toothpaste might work~ 
I've used toothpaste on plastic to wipe off permanent marker before (rubbing alcohol didn't work for this) and it smelled nice after too! Those bastards that have no respect and act out on their hatred should just go sit in a corner and cut themselves instead of damaging property like nice little emo's...

Don't use WD40 or rubbing alcohol. Either of them will more then likely make things worse as it may burn through the plastic and leave a scarred dull appearance on the applied area.
Do you live near a "Tap Plastics" store? I know they sell graffiti removers that are safe on plastics. If not google products that are geared to removing graffiti, such as:

just use regular soap, water, and a green scotch bright scrubber. should come right off. It works in my microbiology lab. we write on our glass equipment all the time with sharpies, and it comes write off with some scrubbing and hand soap. so just try this first, forget buying something. use what u have, then buy it.
