Thought I would add this in since im the advocate in this thread for non vigilantism. Yesterday I was on a job site and drove my wifes GS430 which I dont usually do. I parked out in the open about 100 feet from the un-opened store. When I come out, this rent-a-cop is parked about a foot from the door and sure as *hit theres a dent and missing paint down to metal on the drivers door on my wifes car. I had seen this guy taking a nap accross the parking lot when I pulled in. When I went in to confront him, he told me hes very carefull and assured me he would never do anything like that. Look at your door I told him, theres not a single part of the edge of your door that has paint left on it, some of it is even bent. So I called the police, filed a report (the cop thought I was an idiot) and im going to take it as far as I can, even if its just for the principal of it. I have a photo that shows my silver paint on his green door and green paint on my silver car..

p.s. i did get $300 off a bumper scratch from someone that kissed my bumper parallel parking even though there was no car behind him. i waited for him, got his information, took witness statements, pictures, and threatened a police report & small claims. It took 4 weeks, but i did get the money back to repaint the lower portion of my bumper because only 2 weeks before I just had the bumper replaced

I get your point, but are you saying it's better to stay there and wait for the guy to come back so you can confront him? Seeing what he did to the car he's probably an a$$hole and a fight could break out, now cops get called and you both get arrested, or if you don't know how to defend yourself or if the guy has a weapon you could end up in the hospital or worse, dead ... I'd rather go thru one of 2 options:
1) ****** up his car just like he did to yours and bite into your wallet to repair your car
or
2) Get his tag number, make and model etc. and take it to your insurance agency and hope that dumb a$$ has insurance so he can acutally pay you back ... Here in Miami like 40% of people driving around don't have any kind of insurance ...
I like option #1

Thats nuts!here,if you dont have proof of insurance:you cant get the car liscened and you cant get plastes either.
If you lose insurance,the company will let the dmv know automatically.

i drive a second car i dont like as much when i have to go places that will inevitably be filled with morons who dont know how to drive or respect other peoples property. you cant and wont change how careless people are, no matter how many revenge tire slashings, window smashes, keying frenzies, etc. you do, its just not gonna happen. you have to adapt and figure out a way to deal... back to the lug nuts: IF, i mean IF somehow i were ever in a position to have ACCIDENTALLY and UNKNOWINGLY hurt your car (which would prevent me from leaving a note with my info), and you prepped my car for the wheels to fall off when i got a few miles down the road, you better pray to god i die. because if im not dead, i will find you and not only will you end up in jail, everything you ever owned will be mine. please people, grow up and handle yourselves like you're actually old enough to drive - don't bother disagreeing with me, it will only further prove my point.
