I said this before about such incidents; it is HOW and WHERE you
park that contributes to such heartaches.
Some people, park their beloved shiny new car so close to the
neighboring parking lot. This pisses the next motorist who intends
to park next to it, and if the person is an Ah Beng, good luck to
you.
Some people park in crowded places where there is high human
traffic, because it is very near to where they want to go.
Obviously, accidents do happen - someone pushing a trolly of goods
passes by, misjudged the clearance from your car, and the goods he
is trollying scratches your beloved car.
Vandalism is harder to deal with, because it isn't accidental - it
is intentional. Park in well lit lots, in clear view of public
eyes, or better still, where you can see it when you sit down to a
cup of coffee. Always give the neighboring lot plenty of room, and
park in corner lots even if it means walking a distance back to
where you are going. Sometimes, convenience may have a hidden price
tag!
But in general, DON'T park in a manner that will piss other
motorists off! Be CONSIDERATE, your car will be scratch and
dent-free.
