Get a video camera to tape her doing it and take the tapes to the cops. If that doesn't work, start looking for a different place to park your car. I don't see how you can afford to spend $3,000 fixing some paint and not be able to afford to park somewhere else.

Well, Common Courtesy has stated that we can no longer advocate damaging her vehicle in return, so there has to be something else you can do to annoy her, besides just having a yellow car (I know that alone would annoy the crap out of me...)

Holy shit. I park as far as i can from her. When I move my car away, she will move hers closer to mines. It won't help.



I'd suggest you stop parking in a mine field. Sounds like the inconsiderate old bat is the least of your worries.

Update: Called Police two hours ago -- No one showed up. I waited in the hot weather and saw 2 squad cars just pass by without stopping. I tried to flag one of them down to ask him a question, and he ran through a red light so that I couldn't stop him.

I have decided that when she moves her car again, I am going to take both spaces and leave my phone number for her to call. I am sick and tired of this shit. I'll confront her when she needs to park her car.

Car is a lease. I am responsible for the damage. Geico called me back for a followup on the previous damage. I am heading home early from work to talk to them calmly.

I am going to try for a vandalism report when I get home.

Hmm, that makes more sense then.

just want to get my name in a thread that has the potential for epicness.

If you confront her, record her the whole way. don't hide the cam, this will be good! I'm envisioning some old lady a la Madagascar that could still pwn someone

Oh and I honestly would be at a loss for words as to what to do. when the po-po doesn't want to help, when no one else cares...what can you do beyond getting video evidence? You are most definitely going down the right path

Parking lot is 2 blocks away + there is nowhere to plant video appliances + it would probably attract a thief to the car.

I'd rather deal with a broken window than theft.

there's got to be a small enough camera that you can mount on the dashboard, or under the ceiling facing out one of your doors that could be useful, and maybe not too noticeable for thieves?

I thought that living with tiny door dings & little bumps on your bumper were accepted facts of life in NYC. Guess I was wrong. But, I will bet that the police were rolling their eyes when you were complaining about a door ding. Also, $3000? I haven't priced around, but $750 to fix a door ding sounds pretty steep. Hell, didn't Billy Mays have some rubbing compound for $19.99 that you could rub on and eliminate minor door dings?

I'll confront her when she needs to park her car. I am keeping my Vado HD camera and USB charger in the car at all times from now on. I'll get her on camera this time.

------------------------

I posted a few weeks ago about a woman hitting my car with her door. I got the doors repainted, and this morning I found another shiny new chip on the fresh paint.

I knocked on her door and she threatened to call the Police on me, and the Police are unwilling to get her to come out of her apartment. They say she has to be there when she hits the car.

I am literally losing my fucking mind here -- I've paid well over $3000 over the last 4 years fixing 3 cars that she's hit.

When I bought my Civic it had 10 miles on it when she dinged the back.

Can ANYONE offer any advice? I called the parking lot company and they told me that I can leave the space, but they are not going to force anyone being kicked out.

I cannot afford to park anywhere else, and I live in a heavily populated area. She has made me not want to own a car anymore.

I can't get a police report, and Geico hasn't found anything on her yet.

WTF

Just move

Damn

Ever hear of "water glass?" Also properly known as sodium silicate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_silicate


Be sure to leave lots of fingerprints on the hood when you do this.

We need a break from your posts.


BTW, improper use of this product on someone elses property could constitute a felony and, of course, is NOT advocated...

I think everyone is wanting you to tape the confrontation with the old bag when you take both parking spaces. At least wear a wire so you could have evidence when she admits to damaging your car and so we can hear it as well.

a car is a mans pride and joy
Just like a chimp and his fruit tree.

The hell is it with some guys anyway? It's like their ego is entirely dependent on their vehicle's health, or else on the performance of some sports team.

My car lives outside. I expect it to sustain some injuries now and then.

you sound like my woman. you also sound like you have many pairs of shoes. you also sound like you wear panties and depending on your age, bras too. I got one more for you, you also sound like you sit on the toilet for 1 and 2. man up or im taking your man card away, okay JEFF?

Well, you'd tend to think that after the first couple years and/or cars a logical person would have found a solution other than continuing to let leased cars get dinged and paying for the repairs.
