you handled this better than I would... slashing all four tires or setting fire comes to mind. I kid.. I kid... but no really, I would blow their car up.... just kidding... not really... but seriously...

What amazes me more than the parking stories is that a page about parking your car has gone 13 pages long. A bit much don't you all think...

I had to look a few times to make sure I wasn't on the Ferrari or Lamborghini forum...

For me, it doesn't matter what I drive. I am always careful and aware of where I park. I guess that goes with being a car enthusiast. I'll go out of my way to park a Camry in a spot where no one can ding it. It doesn't matter if the car is worth $5k or $100k.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
lol i remember posting this but I'm not this insane anymore. I just park wherever I feel now, unless I know its a parking lot with a bad history of accidents (like my school).

I personally park near the back of the lot at malls n def places like SAMs Club with all the carts, double parked last time I was there. At my job I ALWAYS double park near the back wall cause I don't know how these people think. Plus it's the only bimmer in the lot other than a x3 that's always in handicap. I park handicap when I have a sticker sometimes as well. In all honesty I think the more u let it eat at your mind it will happen, I'd rather forget about it and if it was to happen it's life? Your already in a great car so I understand but I'm not about to go crazy about it unless it's keyed or swiped badly. Hold my lock button, mirrors fold, and I'm out.

This is paranormal activity at its finest lol, not to call you crazy or anything but never heard of such method. I know your set in your ways probably so I won't suggest much but instead of writing it down. JUST TAKE A PICTURE, it'll last longer
