Hahaha gold . He definitely 'did the good deed' last week, just remembered how many cars with sad looking exhaust pipes in need of a good polishing.

It may "only" be a Ford by that guy's reasoning, but he forgets the most important thing - It's YOUR Ford, which makes it very special and the fact you are standing next to it should mean he treats it very well, or something bad might happen to him (or his briefcase).

To insult someone's car after damaging it ensures the owner goes from annoyed, to angry very quickly and that is when people like Mr Honda driver get badly hurt.

People's lack of care for other people's property is astonishing. My mother works in a kindergarten where she is parks in the shared car park and it seems every week there is a new scuff mark on the door from one of the parents letting their kids open the doors with little regard towards what damage they could be doing. Even after countless times requesting that parents don't let their kids open the car doors, it still seems to be happening.

LOL

A long time ago I observed the typical carpark hit & run that many of you have experienced. I stopped the guy & suggested he leave his details. I watched him write a note & place it under the wiper, then drive off. I removed the note to check what he had written - something along the lines of 'I am letting you know that I hit your car.' No name or contact details. I was in the process of writting another note with my details, when the owner rocked up. They rang me a week latter & were happy with the final outcome - guy confessed when confronted by police.
