Came out to my car to go to lunch from my part time job to find this....



Car was parked here,


Plenty of room for backing up and etc. Of course no note b@stards! So I called the cops, got a police report and filed this on my ins. This little dent is estimated at 900.00 bux. Had my body shop look at it and they confirmed that its at 900.00, so it goes in next week.

It wont go up too much. My wife made a claim two years ago, same kind of deal but her car had much more damage, 7k worth and our ins. went up like 2bucks more a month.
Im 34yrs old with a failry clean driving record. Have had the same policy for over 6yrs so...

dam that sucks, kinda had the same thing happen to me, someone reversed on my car and dented in the whole passenger fender, got the plates. got a police report. but of course the cops never do anything with the plates. even if they know the address of the driver or the insurance they got. ended up replacing the fender with one from the junkyard. THOSE B@STARDS!!!!

H#ll no, cop asked me the same thing. Police officer was surprised (as am I) that there is no camera at least facing the front door, which leads out to where my car was parked.

man... that's a preemo parking spot too. No door dings can happen there.
Sorry to hear about this. It's a sad day and age when people don't take responsibility for their actions.
Rest assured that the culprit will get his or hers in due time.
karma.

That stinks dude. I hunt out cherry spots like that all the time thinking that I'll be immune from any any and all dents and dings but it looks like even spots like that aren't immune.

Unless the car on the other side of the ramp was pinched into the ramp lane by another car, it looks like you may have been popped by a run away wheelchair or something. Who knows though. ******* either way for jacking you up and not taking responsibility for their actions.

wow, someone probably doesn't like you for parking there, but it sure looks like someone intentionally did that

I f*****g hate people that do that. On the plus though, at least they didn't steal anything. Have you checked to see if the business is held liable? I know that my company is responsible for damage to vehichles that are on their property.

It could have been someone disabled and parked on the handicapped parking. Possibly driving a van; that would make your car almost invisible when reversing since your car is lowered and be below the window and out of sight from the driver.... but then we will never know what really happened!

So what's the safe place to park these days? The Moon? I always park as far away as possible from the other cars. Many times in a covered parking I like to park right by a wall so that my car is 1/2 inch from it and FAR away from the space next to me
