2 fist sized dents.....

But was it really such a great idea?

It'll take me all of a few hours to pull the dents out and smooth them over with the help of a line board, but they'll be spending far more than a few hours being paranoid about a revenge attack.

Pretty stupid to damage someone's car right outside your own house.

B*****ds they are. Some people have no consideration for anyone elses property, no Bl***y respect.

I know, it's the main reason I have no interest in having a "nice" car as an every day runabout.

If someone hits a car while parking, they do one of two things....

1) drive off as soon as they realise :mad:

2) leave their details

Nobody would be stupid enough to just stay parked there and wander off. But clearly the owner hasn't got the brain cell required to work this out and has instead lashed out at the nearest thing, very childlike really!

I've never parked in the middle of two spaces:huh:

Obviously not suggesting every 4x4 driver does this, just in my experience at the local supermarket, if there is a car taking up more than one space(either deliberately or accidentally) then they have either been an offroader that hasn't seen off road or a nice little 2 seater that doesn't want it's doors 'dinged'. Actually, that's fair enough but do as most posters do and park further away from the entrance so all the little sardines get a fair nibble at parking near the door.
I'm probably not even qualified to comment on this thread anyway, I almost never take my car to the supermarket as it's on my doorstep and the parking is genuinely ridiculous so I'd rather cart my shopping back in rucksacks than risk getting my 5yo car(but well looked after car) hit by someone that just has no respect.
When I do have to visit somewhere like a retail park in my car I not only park in the futherst away bay from the shop doors, I generally park 1 side against the shrubbery so as to protect at least 50% of my car, wife thinks I'm daft and sometimes jokes on getting a taxi from the car to the shops:rotfl:

This is one of the reasons I loved my battered old fiesta, covered in scratches after years of student street parking, it didnt matter if some idiot in a car park opened their doors on it and i felt happy sticking it anywhere in any space.

Sadly now ive got a newer car now with 4 total small scratches on it and i park as far away as possible. My boyfriend kicked it a few weeks ago and I left him to get the bus.:D

However ive got those door guard this on it, although they look a bit geeky everyone should have them imo, even though im not in the habit of touching other peoples cars!

I'll happily squeeze my company car into any space where someone has parked over two bays if the car park is full.:p:D

I used to have a very battered 126, usually you could just squeeze it in if someone used two bays, I always did on their drivers side, then watched them climb over from their passenger door.

Glad its not just me that does that

Still not getting your accident.
While it's a pain anything happens, you weren't there were you?

Are you saying you parked in front of a recently damaged car.
You went away.
When you came back, the damaged car had gone, either another car was there, (or it was a space)
Your car now has a couple of dents.
So it must have been the owners of the damaged car, as they would have assumed they were getting their own back, even though as you say the number had just fallen off?
Not passing kids?
Another car inbetween?
Cyclist?
The same vandal that kicked their car come back?
It's in front of their house as well as you know where they live?
I still don't know how you're so sure it had to be them?

A common sense test at puberty and sterilisation for the stupid is the only way forward.

I like your thinking.

Add to that an IQ test before being allowed to vote.

The sad thing is, it's not just 4x4 owners and audi TT drivers.
It's 50 something males in their daewoos and hyundai's and the forty somethings in their 4-5 year old astra/focus taking up 2 spaces these days.
