Brand new car receives first dent

[Daveymaclad]

So I was up at the Bristol Royal Marriott on Wednesday/Thursday and decided to park in their basement carpark which is full of similarly shiny new cars. I drive home thursday and leave car on my drive.

Girlfriend noticed today that there's an effin dent in the nsr door courtesy of the w**ker who opened their door into my car at the Marriott.

Three weeks old and already it has a blemish thanks to some inconsiderate jerk.

Still, there is a VERY slim hope of catching them, the carpark was riddled with cameras and I've reported it to the police who are going to take a look at the footage.

Wish me luck...!

I always park next to really new cars, because the chance of a new car owner to carelesly open the door into your car is much less than somone who has got a old banger.

Also I try to avoid next to any cars that have baby seats, kids toys, white van mans etc etc. Sometimes my g/f cannot understand why I do not just park the car is so many empty spaces... I end up driving around finding the perfect spot.

I hate parking dents, they are so annoying Hope you find out who it is, although I doubt the police can do much really.

one advantage of a blue badge/kids incar- I never have to park close to someone

As I have bratzs I tend to use the parent spaces which are larger

The car I parked next to was a 2009 year car also!! Also being the Marriott nearly every car was less than two years old and exec grade type cars. I just happened to park next to a t***er! If CCTV shows contact the police will do something but I don't hold much hope for it really, but worth a punt!

Trouble is, most of the new stuff in good hotels isn't privately owned, so the drivers still dont give a stuff !
