Ugh

Why do people think that because our cars are small and don't take up the whole spot they can have the left overs?

Oh yeah, been there. You hug the curb to avoid the car in the next spot, they hug your passenger side. Nice!

Are those scratches on your brand new MINI from his door? I admire your restraint

Did you file a police report? If not, it may be too late.

If you only took pictures in order to post and complain, well, you need to take that courage up a notch and complain formally. That's damage, and evidence, and that person owes you a repair.

Police report definitely, and give them and your insurance company copies of the photo's. especially the nice clear one of the other car's license plate!

There will be a police report... my mom works for the sheriff's dept. I have pictures of his license plate, parking permit, registration, etc.

I left a note with my number and told him to call me. He did but refused he could have possibly done it on the grounds that there was no red mark on his door. He also blamed the light blue car for why he "had" to park so close.

And, I would never key someone's car... that's just completely wrong.

Why yes, that light blue car was a mere...4 ft away on the right. And I agree that to key ones car is to stoop to their level.

That sux. It seems like people just won't let you have anything new and keep it that way. I dread my MINIs first ding. It will be parking on the far side of the lot for a long time and my legs will get some excercise.

Karma will get whoever did it, one way or another, and the same if you had keyed, I had a crazy ex girlfriend key my whole car all around down to the metal thru the paint, would hate to do that to someone else, I hated driving that car afterwards, did I say she was crazy
