Seriously?
Ok really? I get out of work to this....
Seriously I don't understand it. I had my last vette and no issues, I have this one for under a week, and someone is already deciding to rest on it. I wish I was a dr here so I could have my own gated parking...ugh

people suck.....hope there was no damage.....time to find a better spot in the lot.
I moved around to several spaces at work till I found a spot that avoided most people then guess where everyone started parking
funny thing is as people get new cars they all wanna park near me at least the new spot has plenty of room and I have had no issues

Well I for sure called the cops and had them come out to check the car, especially as I moved it away. They guy that owned that car worked in the building across the street and came out when he saw 2 cops cars. I kept my cool...being that this is my Friday and I didn't feel like sitting in jail....but he tried to tell the cops, he was just close. The cop looked him square in the eye and told him, his car was backed into mine. The cop checked, and I checked and checked 4 more times, looks like I got lucky and got away with no damage....he got lucky too.... Time for a new parking space hunt....

You have the evidence (pictures) have it repaired and send him the bill.
Your post hadn't popped up before I made the comment. But send him a bill anyway.

I understand your anger, but we all have to realize that there are a lot of people who don't love cars like we do, Sentra drivers for example! and most importantly, Our Vettes sit low to the ground and when this guy backed into the spot I guarentee you he couldn't tell how close that nose is because its out of his view (and they don't care) In the future I'm sure you'll park it in an area where this won't happen. Beautiful car BTW

People are clueless, and when someone with a clue mentions that fact, they deny it. The Sentra owner would be a case in point.
BTW, someone who is only temporarily clueless will apologize profusely. The permanently clueless will continue to insist that they did nothing wrong.

I get the whole some people don't love cars (and chuckled at the Nissan especially) but the guy was insisting he didn't touch. That would have at least warranted a verbal assault!
I don't love kids but when I park on them, I at least apologize
