I know the frustration we have seeing cars touched, smeared or thumped. But it happens from us, too.
When my column locked in a public parking lot I was so pizzed and really mad I got out - started ranting, raving, cussing, kicking tires, pounding on fenders, smacking windshields.
Then this lady came up and asked why I was beating on her Buick parked next to my car. I just said,"You don't really think I'd hit the Vette, do you?"

You're my hero for several reasons Bill ... your flare for telling your stories being one. I think I would've maybe knocked on the glass and he would've seen me doing this 
Personally, I find it amusing that people have to bang/push/pull/kick tires etc. to demonstrate they have all the knowledge, but none of the common sense. It's like a buddy of mine ... I have a 19" LCD flat panel monitor and he always insists on touching / pushing on the screen when he points something out. It got to the point where I slap his hand anytime he does it ... LOL. Maybe old guy wasn't talking about your car at all ... maybe he was telling his SO how the paramedics kick started his heart by beating on his chest.
