Unfotunately there are people that have no respect for others property. My car has never been "keyed" and touch wood it won't be, but i can honestly say that car parks are my most "feared" place when out in my Zed. I hate em.
The spaces are to small for a start, so your practically all on top of each other. Then you just have to pick what you think is the best spot where your car won't get banged, dented, scratched etc.....
You can park bewteen two brand new cars but it don't mean they will respect your car anymore, it really annoys me that people think that crashing there door in to the side of your pride and joy is "ok" it's just an accident, you can hardly see it bla bla bla....
The best solution i have found is parking across two spaces, despite some disgruntled looks and the odd TWAT that will still insist on squeezing in beside you, it works! I am also lucky enough to be able to park in the Parent and Toddler spaces!! So that is very helpful, unless of course there are none left, then there is only one option left, disabled! I don't care, they are never completely full.
Just remember, altho we all LOVE our Zeds and keep them lookin in prestine condition, not everyone else does, take an extra 10 mins finding a bigger space in the car park, it could save you money
