    Note. I'd hate for someone to do that to me and not leave a note. I'm a big believer in Karma.

    Tell me about it, getting my sliders a little wider just to help with door dings. Funny how if I dent it/scratch it on a trail I am fine with it but dent it in a parking lot and I flip!
    Rock dings=:D I tried and will do better next time
    Door dings=:mad:

    I bumped a car in a parking lot once when driving my dad's ginormous ranch truck that I couldn't really see out of. I left a note of course and it all turned out fine. I was living in a small town and of course it was someone I went to high school with! :eek:

    I've had someone do it to my truck too. It happened when I was sitting in it. I was on the phone and felt the truck shake really hard. While I was looking around thinking WTF?? I heard squealing tires and saw the guy pull away! :rant:

    At the college I went to I saw someone ram into the fender of some guys nice truck and then just pull away and park nearby. I called the campus police *evil cackle* :devil:

    Yeah I'd leave a note. I once dented a car when parking, and no one was around, but I left a note with my phone number and contact info. They never called me back though.

    I would leave a note, i also would take a picture and save in on my phone.

    The other day at school i saw this chick back into a jeep with her civic. she got out looked at it and drove off and parked farther down. so i took her plate number after she left and wrote it down on a paper and said what happened and put it on the jeeps window.

    I would leave a note, and after reading this thread.. try to remember to take pictures as well.

    I have never hit a parked car, and pay very close attention at all times to everything going on around me, so...
