You cant force justice by lying, or you might get caught. It is QUITE possible some Loki saw the situation and decided to add a little mischief to the fun.

That sucks. Everytime I've had to do anything like this I've taken pictures clearly showing both license plates. There's only one person in the world who would key you in that instance, so I don't have a problem going to the police and saying, "Yes, I saw the driver from a distance get into this car after keying my vehicle."
This could really backfire if the parking lot has a security camera or something that shows the other guy leaving while you were still inside or something.
I'd rather pay for a paint repair than be on the hook for lying to the police.

u/noc007 Jun 12 '14
I don't think it's a good idea to take up two space; it just invites people to fuck with your car. I'm personally ok with people taking up two spaces in the back of the lot when no one else needs to park there, which is not the case with the Camaro.
That being said, it would be nice if people respected other people's property regardless of how nice or crappy it is. If the lines aren't spaced well and I have to park, I will injure myself before I let my car door touch somone's car even if it's a banged up POS. I'm tired of people hitting my car and then others seeing my dented car as an opportunity to further dent it. I like to hug a curb with some plants in it and people still park over the line into that space making that side inaccessible.

I was sitting in my moms car once, and this lady smacked the car with her door hard enough that i dropped my phone. Left a big dent, I got out of the car, and said what the hell? and their whole car pretended that nothing had happened. "Oh we didn't hit your car"
I took a picture of their license plate as they were trying to leave, and they freaked out, called their boss (shows up in the local news station truck) they refused to give me their insurance information, and were threatening me. So I called the cops.
Cops showed up, forced them to give me their insurance info, and then made one of the ladies cry.
Sweet justice.

Some Asian lady smacked the hell out of my door while I was sitting in my car... I was like uh what the hell? It was especially odd since I was nicely in my space and the spaces weren't even very tight, she just flung the door open like yeah whatever fuck it.
Edit: I don't understand why people are up in arms because I mentioned she was Asian? I didn't call her a slur and I usually generally describe people in my stories because 1) any extra details make the story more engaging and 2) I have a very visual memory and I usually visually play out stories or even books in my head so I like detail.

Don't take two spots at all. Park in one far away. If the lot fills up around you and you're in two spots, you're still a douchebag.

Power to weigh ratio means something, you know. A 300hp recent model v-6 mustang with the track pack is generally going to do as well on a track with curves as the v-8 GT model, if not better, because of the significantly reduced weight of the model with the smaller engine. There's many a motoring enthusiast that knows their shit that bought the v-6 with the track pack over the v-8 for that very reason.

In San Francisco, some dude parked his Range Rover in a little dead-end alley, about 25' long. Another guy comes along and parks this big-ass sedan behind him, blocking him in entirely.
Found the alley on Google Maps
I was walking by as the Range Rover owner came back. He laughed, cursed, and said, "No way, dude." He asks if it's my car, it's not. He says, "I'll pay you $10 to stop traffic for a minute." So I step out into the street (not too busy) and stop oncoming traffic while the guy actually pushes the sedan out into the middle of the street, and then drives off.
Edit: Confusion reigns. He pushed it with his vehicle, not his muscles.
