I worry about this every time I have to go the mall or out to dinner in my car. Luckily so far I've made out good with two very unnoticeable dents in my passenger door. Not worth $200 yet to get them fixed. (What dealership quoted me)

No more than 12 hours after I picked my car up from the body shop for a brand new hood/front bumper, I walk out to my car the next morning and I have a fat handprint on my hood, dragged down across to the driver side fender. I can't wait to not live in the city

A few weeks ago I had to pick up some photos from Walmart for my mother. I parked far away from everything. It was dark out but I parked near a street lamp. I get back to my car, fiddle with my phone a little and then look up and there is a 30/40-something year-old woman standing there begging for money so she could take the bus home. Based on some of the things she said I got a feeling that she wasn't very stable. I was worried if I said no or took off she would kick or scratch my car so I gave her $5 and left. Not a big deal but felt pretty uncomfortable the whole time.
No vandalism but I definitely got singled out because she saw me walking to a nice car in a remote area of the parking lot where she could essentially corner me. |

I've had every body panel keyed and my tires slashed...all in one night. Thankfully, USAA covered it all...but it still sucks none the less.

It isn't always that we have nice cars. My "other car", a 2006 Suzuki SUV, got hit in a parking lot at a home depot store about a year ago. Whoever did it didn't leave a note and I didn't see the substantial dent until the next day. It might have been a cart that did it. Whoever did it knew they did it. They were just careless and didn't have enough morality to take responsibility. I had it fixed under my comprehensive coverage and spent a little more of my money (beyond the deductable) to have some other minor damage fixed.
Some people just don't care/are careless. They should be car-less.

This makes me think of Pulp Fiction, "What's more chickenshit than fuckin' with a man's automobile? I mean, don't FUCK with another man's vehicle, It's just against the rules" Anyways, throw some coins up their exhaust pipe, that shit will rattle and rattle! No traces, no signs that you did anything at all, only a rattle that can only be fixed by removing the muffler, costing them time, money, and the annoying sound for however long they want to put up with it |

I agree, careless, reckless, irresponsible, immoral drivers should have their cars confiscated and license revoked.

thankfully, the worst thing that's happened to me is that I got a note from someone apologizing for hitting my car. didn't leave a number or anything. it turned out to be my friend who was trying to pull a prank on me
another time I found sex handprints on the hood of my car (ill post a pic later). which also turned out to be my friends. hopefully it was just a joke and not the real . but that deff sucks and I feel for you OP

OP - people suck. I've also had my past car damaged while parked. It sucks.
Over here in Germany, people respect cars more. It is a safe and respectful society. Also... they know there are cameras everywhere - and IF they get caught... they will pay and pay! But still "things" can happen. More often than not... these jealous morons set fire to a parked cars. They use a wood oven starter "brick" to light off one of the car's tires. Then before you know it a block of parked cars is set ablaze. It is a BIG problem in the big cities like: Berlin, Hamburg, Dusseldorf. Even in a safe orderly society you have whackos to deal with. Part of it too is the people who want to go back to the Communist days of east Berlin. Just today in Regensburg, a 47 year old - unemployed postal worker was sentenced to three years in jail for setting fire to 10 parked cars. He did 300K euros of damage to them. Jail over here is like a college dorm. You don't wear a uniform, you can decorate your "room" and have a TV and pc. Its a joke. Btw... murder someone over here and you get six year sentence - maybe! an old video to show you when things go awry in DE...
