About two months. I was working in the deli section of a supermarket at the time and parked waaaaaaay out near a couple of deli co-workers. I go out on my break and see the door dinged and a minivan parked next to me. I have the owner paged, and it's someone else who works there.
We go outside and he says, "how do you know it was me?" I told him to open his door. Sure enough, the spot matched perfectly and there is even a little bit of blue paint on the edge of his [chipped to sh!t] driver's door from my body-side molding that he chipped in addition to dinging the door. He agrees to pay for the damage.
I get an estimate, $300. The paint on the bodyside molding was chipped and needed to be repainted, possibly replaced and painted, I forget now. He wants it in writing. I call my sister and she says she'll bring the estimate down. She gets there around 8:45pm and I can't find him, found out he punched out early. He left at 8:30 instead of 10. I go outside around 9:15 or so to leave, and my car is keyed to sh!t. Once down the passenger side and twice down the driver side.
The detective says it looks like it was done with a boxcutter. What a coincidence, the @$$hole who did it works in stock, opening boxes and stocking shelves. He never showed up to work after that day, except to pick up his paycheck. When he did come in, he was staring into the deli department, trying to see where I was, if I was there.

Passenger side - 800x600 - 600x450
Notice that little chip on the BSM on the passenger side? That's what this stupid sh!t was about. I wish I didn't say anything, or at least parked in view of the camera.

Every time I go somewhere with my wife, about half the time she throws her door right open into other people's cars. WTF...then she gets made at me when I get pissed off she did that.
This is a woman thing. They have no respect for other people's property. They can't seem to pay attention to their own vehicles.. why anyone else's? My girlfriend does the same thing all the time, and gets very pissed when I tell her to be more careful and to pay more attention.

If you are going to spend $15k + on something, it is wise to take good care of it.

I have no dings, good old plastic panels. The one good thing about my Saturn.
I admit I will open my door right into someone else's door if they are on the line. I make sure I'm in the middle of the spot, the least you can do it make sure you're all the way in yours. So many people park like idiots, just annoying, and that is my revenge against them :evil:
