As you will all become aware of if not already,there is a slighlty jealous element to the country, that will try to make there mark on your car because they just think you have the money and they dont "and anyway clearly your rich so the cost of repair will be pocket money to you."
I have already mentioned in another thread that i could park my car 200 meteres from the supermarket in an almost empty carpark and when i return there will be an R reg rusty old metro parked so close to it it would be either left hand drive or the barsteward driver has dented my door...and sure enough there is the tell tale dent and scrape to prove it!!!!
There is no reason for this person to park right next to me,i`m miles away from the shop and logically no one wants to walk further than they have to...so what is the reason for targeting the maserati in the top right corner of the carpark? Just to put a dent in it i would put money on it!
I have returned just after a similar event and found the driver about to get into the car and i have approached and triggered the remote locking and she has stopped and waited for me to pull away before even attemting to get into the car...I wonder why...!
I now park up and take a photo when i walk away with my blackberry and if i find a car parked next to me so close that they could not get out i will sit down nearby and watch them return and try to get in ......
The real problem is that when in my 20`s i had one friend kill another friend with a bowie knife over the principles of refusing the other a cigarette! So if you confront the suspect with your "bloodup" you may find that circumstances could get so out of control that you find that things have blown out of proportion.
Its a real catch 22 on exercising control in the reprimand.... as one wrong word from the perpetrator and you overreact and.. it will be you that the police are considering a danger to the general public.
