    I feel for ya as well---my daughter's new Honda '07 with 5K miles after 11 mos ownership--got hit in her apt. parking lot 2 days ago--she is so upset--right front fender and bumber--pulled bumper apart --I'd say about 25 to 3K damage- she is trying so hard to make it these days and she has some dumbass do this --like said here already--some people don't care----if the AH lives there he is prolly parking elsewhere cause daughter is patrolling each evening with camera for vehicle that left paint damage on hers---hope it wasn't a visitor in the area----

    One or two are from women's rings when they brush up against the car trying to open the door. Diamonds are harder than clear coat.

    Regards,

    Everything is harder than the clearcoat on these cars! I use to flip everytime I saw another scratch on the car, now I just sigh.

    No, but drove thru a minor hail storm and was afraid I would get damage, but didn't.

    Cleaning a car cover is easy. Put it on your car, then wash it, not the drive through kind. The stand there with the stick kind of car wash.

    Then towel dry it, take the cover off and make sure you do not get it dirty when you bag it.

    Then wash your car.

    A camera with motion detection for in car use the is best idea. Nothing beats have a video or pictures of the moron when they hit you. Plus they usually get out and look before fleeing.

    Yeah I am still dealing w/ a body shop because of a parking lot hit and run on the MM rear bumper cover about a month ago. Luckily it was the plastic cover only and no metal got involved. The collision shop I used was one of the more expensive ones but the repair they did is not good enough for me, so they are re doing it again this weekend. This is one reason I bought a house out in the middle of nowhere, I can garage my stuff and I don't have to worry about people screwing it up. I used to park in a parking lot every day before I bought the house, and a separate commuter car. I still only have one very tiny ding on the entire car after 2 years, and you can barely tell where it is.

    The only time I see any respect given for other peoples' vehicles is at car meets. Even then some people allow their rugbrats to touch, drool and finger everything that doesn't belong to them. The quality of parenting in general has dropped dramatically in the last fifty years.

    Get one of those alarms that goes off if the wind is too strong, people won't touch your car then, nor will the kids because they won't want to be annoyed.

    There was a car like that in my apt. complex. I wanted to jump on the roof and cave it in. If I thought about doing something, someone else at some point will actually do it.

    Well, someone done scratched up and dented the hood now. WTF? No note left. I have a sneaking suspician that it might have been the yard maintenance people at the apartment complex. They trimmed the bushes in between the carport and the fence. I bet you that was when it happened. But I'll never really know. I only noticed it when I actually got out of the car in Downtown Mountain view. I couldn't see the scratches from the drivers seat.

    When I used to live in an apt, I would always get really nervous when the yard guys would string trim or mow right up to cars. Ah the joys of living in an apt, I don't miss those days

    Sorry for the blurry photo. But here was a picture of the damage back then from this hit and run.
