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...!

Good luck, dosent matter where you park, some selfish git will get you. Our previous car was wrecked at the railway station car park

Mines not new,but i know how you feel.Makes you mad and sick.
Some people just don,t give a damn.
I hope you DO get the B*******.

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 !

if i go to tescos' or asda up here I'll park at the opposite end of the car park on my own MILES from anyone else..... I come back to find someone has decided to park in the next space to me WHEN THE REST OF THE CARPARK is vacant

PERHAPS they thought... oh theres a quattro allon its own,lets give it some company

I know i should'nt but i always use the with kids spaces in tesco's !!!but only because they are much wider so there's less chance of some &%£$ denting one of my panels
