It is a legit picture-hosting site.

Howeverr, if true, then the OP is worried about someone damaging what can only be described as an ancient total shed of a car, which probably is worth more as scrap metal than it is on the road.

I'm inclined to not feed the trolls any more than I already have done ..

Fit a tow bar, it can also act as a reversing sensor.

OK - you say you are in the US. This is a UK site and our knowledge of US legal system is likely to be a bit sketchy - indeed as I understand things, the relevant law may well be different in different States.

However the US legal system is historically derived from the UK, so we may be able to give some rough guidance. If damage has been caused, it's a civil matter not a criminal one so you'd need to establish who the driver was - presumably traceable via the car registration. You'd need to find out the cost of repair and then pursue the driver for that money. This isn't necessarily easy.

Or you could pass the problem on to your insurance company, assuming you have the right kind of insurance (in the UK it's called comprehensive insurance).

Or you might just have to accept the bruise on the car, or get it fixed at your own expense.

If you think this is deliberate damage - and reading your post, I don't think you do, then the police will be able to give help in tracing the driver.

Don't take the rudeness personally, you're lucky they didn't call you names! Towbars definitely put people off nudge parking.

I apologise if we seemed not to take the OP seriously, but I'm still having a hard time seeing what the issue in all of this actually is.

The OP is complaining that someone parked so close to him the two cars are touching. But there's no damage.

He seems to be worried that it might happen again, perhaps with damage this time.

It's pretty obvious you can't run a car and be immune from damage - hence the "leave it in the garage" comment. It's equally obvious that if you fit front and rear dashcams you will have some evidence and chance of redress if there is damage. The OP has already worked that out. But his own insurance would cover it anyway.

He's asking if what has happened to him is legal. Again, pretty obviously, if there's no damage there is no case to answer. If there had been damage, pretty obviously there would be a case.

Or have I missed something?

I'll just take my question elsewhere because obviously you guys would rather be rude about it than be helpful.

It seems the OP has done as he proposed?
