some dude has way to much time on his hands...

I was going to say the same as above......

Still shit 'can' happen in a public car park, but if you do go to some effort and think about it when parking in these places as I'm sure lots of us here do, you can prevent things happening...

One thing I have noticed that in an empty car park, if you park well away from others, and I mean waaaaaaaaayyyyy over the back, a good 45 seconds extra walk to the entrance, often when you come out there will be one or two cars parked next to you :mad: in the still empty car-park...it's like lone-cars are magnetic or something :angel:

...I think it's...yeah that's a good idea I'll park away from others too...right next to *that* car...because they are too stupid to find their own lonely place:eek:

That said, I have taken two cars from new to sold without a single car-park ding.
