I'm sorry I put a dent in your car...
Don't you just hate it when you're idling around in the parking garage and there aren't any empty spaces? How do you feel when you spot somebody with a nice car who's purposely taken two spaces so that nobody can park next to their car? Yeah, pretty infuriating. Looks like somebody decided to do something about it, if the letter above is for real. In case you can't read it, here's what it says:
Dear person,
I'm sorry I put a dent in your car. I didn't want to, but I did when I tried to park next to you. I am not leaving my information because you chose to use two spaces and I just wanted to park in one. The scratches are because I used a towel that had sand on it to try to clean the dent/paint off. Beaches are fun.
Please look your car over for the dent and scratches and each time you see them, remember not to park in two spaces.
Sorry!!!
NOTE: We at Autoblog do not condone the denting of cars on purpose. Yes, beaches are fun.

What I miss is information whether there have been any scratches actually made. The writer could just have been making fun of the Parkinson-dude.

"Two wrongs don't make right."
Are you against jailing people too?
iQuack 4:35PM (5/25/2008)
Jailing people is OK when deserved. If the a**hole who damaged the sloppily-parked car were caught, I'd say shoot the bastard. While hogging 2 spaces is inconsiderate (and wrong) nobody should have the right to deface property.
So, both people are wrong, but the vandal more so.

I think there's some confusion - just for the record, you didn't actually damage his car in any way right? Just left a note so that he might maniacally search for the "supposed" damage on his car? I hope that's the case, if it is it's hilarious :)

@guitarchitect - Correct, I did no damage. I just thought it would "teach him/her a lesson". Thanks for commenting!

iQuack, you contradict yourself. You say two wrongs don't make a right, but if this "bastard" did this to you, you'd shoot him? Am I misinterpreting something?
iQuack 7:41PM (5/25/2008)
No. Both people are wrong--space hogger is wrong. But it's also wrong to vandalize the car and both of those wrongs don't make everything right.
Seems that the "vandal" didn't really do anything, but left a note that caused the space hogger some anguish while looking for scratches on his BMW. In this case, the "vandal" was clever and might have prevented REAL damage from a less thoughtful person who objected to the space-hogger's selfishness.
No contradiction here if there was a WRONG space-hogger and a WRONG vandal who over-reacted.

he should mass print these letters and place them on all the double parking space takers

Wrong #1: Taking up two spots
Wrong #2: Vandalizing a car
Wrong #3: Shooting the vandal
Two wrongs don't make a right, but it sounds like you think THREE wrongs do. :/
iQuack 2:47PM (5/26/2008)
OK, don't shoot the vandal--strangle him because it's quieter and less messy;-).
Zeus.:God 10:15AM (5/27/2008)
But two rights make a left.
iQuack 12:28PM (5/27/2008)
Please note that 3 rights make a left. Two rights will point you in the direction from which you came.

What's worse than idiots that take up two spots are people that damage someone else's property and don't take responsibility.

agreed... especially the "beaches are fun" part, Classic! Every time I see someone park like a blowhard asshole I want to slash their tires, fortunately for them I never have a knife.

If only parking spaces were drawn wide enough, then people wouldn't feel the need to double park to avoid door dents by Hummer doors.
