Where I live at uni, the road is busy and parking is a nightmare.

I park my car outside my house wherever possible.

People here just don't seem to give a shit!

I've just gone outside, and for the third time since I've lived here, someone has carelessly scraped my car while they squeeze out of a space. They have hit the corner of my bumper every time, this time, and the first time weren't so bad, it was just the black plastic from thier bumper wiped onto mine, so it T-Cutted out, but the second time it happened, quite a bit of paint was scrapped off. They MUST have noticed.

I need to find car with a matching bit of Zinnobar Red paint on their black bumper. Then get my baseball bat out which has been underused of late.

To catch someone doing it, well that would be nice.

Why do people just not care. :x :x :x :x :x :x

You got an alarm? If so then set it as sensitive as it'll go - then you'll know when someone hits your car. Thats how i caught the person who drove into my crx when it was parked
Cheers,
Robin

has happened to me twice now. the first werent too bad, but the second i had to get resprayed. so now i never park down narrow roads, next to a woman driving a car too big for her (no offence) or any car paked face forward in a bay. So its a mission finding a space but worth the hassle.

My cab has got a nice dent and scrape on the rear quarter thanks to some careless driver :x

I have give up on having a mint car as a daily driver as it simply don't work for me :cry: and i can't even be bothered to get the above damage sorted :mad:
