      Well there it was, parked in the same place as yesterday so I left this note on the Durango:

      @unknownuser said:

      To: The driver of this car.

      You parked next to my truck yesterday, very close. At lunchtime I came out to my truck, surveyed how close you were and realized that no scratches were made on my vehicle. I was relieved.

      Well when I came out at the end of the day this was not the case, there was a huge dent on my door. I hope in the future that you would be more considerate of other people’s property.

      Sincerely

      The offended.
      

      Then I walked up to the snack counter at the court house. The guy who works the counter is about 95% blind. While giving me the change for my cahsews he gave me $1 too much. I politely told him and returned it.

      Today is a better day.

      i'd report his license plate to the police and let them leave a nice note of his ar as well.

        i think i would leave a note informing my cell phone. the ensuing conversation would determine the direction of the case.

        but this behaviour is not common in brasil. i would say most people here have a frontier-like way of dealing with situations like that: no note and denial if they got caught red-handed.

          I don't want to go that far for two reasons. I have no way of proving he/she did this to my truck and I did not see it happen. I also have no pictures of my truck next to the Durango.

          I think I would look like a fool trying to get the police involved. Anyway, chalk it up to experience... now maybe I can convince my wife to let me get that Mini I have been eyeballing. It would have a much smaller footprint in the garage 😄

            you guys are starting to make me feel bad. it's long been a chattanooga past time to drive down to huntsville in a large suv, park in compact spaces in parking garages, and recklessly open the doors... hmmm... guess we'll have to go back to switching the lettering around on church signs. at least Jay Leno likes that.

                  Boo, i realize that maybe bad form to pull your leg about this. i have had that happen to me a few times. all of them were eldery people so i kind of just swallowed my anger and went on. also, i don't make much over the poverty level so most people don't want to park next to the clunkers i drive.

                          Funny story similar to this (well funny from the outside)

                          My boss drives a 1980's Porsche (not the best one out there, but still very nice) He was parked in his reserved parking spot out front of our office. A lady that works in another office in the same building hopped in her Chevy suburban and backed out over the corner of my boss's Porsche. Realizing what she did, she hammered the gas, and pulled out of the parking lot in a hurry. The owner of a 3rd office in a building happened to see the whole incident and got her licence plate number. He came and told my boss what happened, and gave the licence plate number over, which my boss then reported to the police.

                          That night the police found this woman, and gave her a hit and run ticket, (the second worst ticket you can get in Alberta) and a driving with undue care and attention (the worst ticket you can get in Alberta) due to this, she is going to have to pay for both tickets (around $1300) and for replacement parts and labour on my boss's car. She has also lost her licence (because of these extreme tickets) and will have to re-take her drivers test, and a drivers ed course.

                          My boss, once his car is fixed has decided to sell it, and use the money, and head down to the states to buy a new Porsche Carerra

                          so, these things you see, don't always turn out with the good guy losing

                            guy inadvertendly reverses his car into the front of your car

                            dude, gets out, looks at your car, checks his, reaches inside his glove compartment and takes out a notebook

                            dude promptly writes a note, folds it over twice and leaves it under your wiper blade

                            Below is what the note read:

                            To whom it may concern,

                            I reversed my car into the front of your, breaking one of your lenses and damaging your grill and indicators, not to mention your bumper.

                            I am writing this note so that the people who saw this happen might think I'm leaving my contact and insurance details, of course I'm not.

                            Good luck in finding me, nitwit.
