Mini hide and seek!

Now that i've had my Mini a couple weeks now...i have only one thing to complain about. Actually it's kind of funny and a little bit embarrassing. When i park the Mini in a large parking lot (like at a mall or a concert) expecially at night....even though i have a general idea where it is, it seems like a large vehicle parks next to mine and i can't find it. So now i'm wondering around the lot engaged in some kind of automotive hide and seek. Now that i feel like a complete idiot for revealing this.....does this happen to anyone else? Can someone put my tormented mind at ease?!

It happened to me twice today!

I don't park my MINI all the way in the slot, but I still get "swallowed" up by these SUV's.
