What to do when you have to park near c***s
Discussion
I think there could be more to this than pure bad luck given the frequency of knocks.
Perhaps this college car park full of sheds who's owners don't care about leaving a knock on the big posh shiny Lexus.
Perhaps your other half is not parking considerately.
If a shed is not an option than she'll have to park it somewhere else or put up with it - I don't see what options you have.

Have any other cars been damaged recently?
If not, then it sounds like your car is being targeted.
My wife didn't think anyone had reported it, but she said she walked round the car park and about half the cars had scratches, and they are all sIf not, then it sounds like your car is being targeted.
tty old sheds that nobody would care about anyway.We reported the last time it happened to the police, because it did look like it had been done deliberately. This doesn't, in isolation, but you can't be sure. The thing is a 12 year old Astra might have been damaged 8 years ago and not repaired, so the fact that most of the cars have similar damage doesn't mean it's that frequent.
The frequency this has happened is beyond ridiculous. I really don't want another car at home. Maybe a funky moped is the solution.
This happened to my car the other day leaving it in a store car park. Didn't notice it until the morning after as I went back to the car in the dark. I've been quoted £300 and two days work to get it fixed. I had scratch and dent insurance on my previous car and never needed it in two years. This has had one bad stone chip, which was just bad luck, and this is the second parking scrape.
You could always try taking a car cover and putting it over the car when it's on the car park. It'll reduce the chances of people keying it or otherwise targeting it if it's deliberate and might offer some protection from accidental scrapes.

Is that really a practical option, morning and night?are there no preferable parking spaces? wider ones, or end of the row or away from the traffic throughput?
also how's her parking? is she good at it? She might be crap at parking and somebody's taken exception to it.
also is she hot? Maybe somebody fancies her? Thats how it works doesnt it? Hot girl you fancy, pull her pigtails, scratch her motor

By shed i dont mean a £150 106 with a million miles on that will last a week, your wifes hair will get frizzy as it leaks on her we mean to get a 1-2k jag, saab etc with all the toys with service history. nice and comfy, loads of car for the money and who cares if the outside gets knocked.
The common denominator in these situations is always the wife.
My wife's alloys are kerbed but apparently she didn't do it.
There's scratches on the rear bumper that she does not know how they got there
There are a could of bumper scuffs that someone else must have done.
Generally speaking women don't deserve nice cars because they don't really give two fks about them.
Just buy her a stter like a little clio or a Punto and send her on her way

Drive into the car park at speed and first hit take out as many cars as you can, floor it in 1st and reverse on full lock and aim for the rest and if it will still move find a parking space and just casually walk into the office. Leave off time, rinse and repeat..

to the left, where the road ends. They do looked squashed in pretty close from the satellite view there, TBF.
She used to park in the car park to the north you can see there, but that's been closed down. Her workplace is the grey building to the left of the tennis court you can see there.
I did suggest parking elsewhere be she said she didn't walk far in the dark, but she said she'd rather get a shed. I told I don't really want to have to buy an old crapheap because some people can't park properly, and why can't she go by bike (motor or pedal) but she's not keen on that either.

Wow, have we gone back in time to the seventies? What next, call your wife 'the little lady'? Do some mother in law jokes. My wife's alloys are kerbed but apparently she didn't do it.
