Yeah...i agree, parking like that is an invitation to mess with it, unfortunately. I just park far away and try to get an end spot to avoid issues.

That's awesome that your car is found on google maps, but what's with the parking? You obviously had enough time to put up a sun shade, but not enough time to park correctly?

That's soooo true. I'll park at some random spot where there's NOBODY even remotely near me, and when I come out, I'll find some junk car parked right next to me. Seriously? of all the spots they pick, they pick the one next to me.

haha I though it was a fake too but notice the very thin shadow going across the top of the pic. He did not include in his pic the small box on the bottom right corner or "x" on the top right corner.

I agree with everyone else that you sir the OP has failed on the parking

It's a wrong car to call for attention.

I thought it was fake too, but I never use Google maps, so I don't know.

I would say the way the car was parked, was to avoid another car parking beside 'em and leaving a door ding.

But the chance of getting keyed is also there (as mentioned).

Sometimes, when I park at mall shop etc.. and there is a guy sitting in the booth/kiosk I ask for a pilon and put it on the spot beside me. This way I avoid the door dings.
