It's not just about how people who don't know how to park, but also shopping trolley damage & people who open Doors against the side of your car. It is better not to put your car in such a place.
Ah yeah that's true. I like to pick the more "deserted" car spot/parks. But I didn't have a choice back then (it was the first week I got the car), I had to park there for work! :(. Getting your car slammed with a door is the worst, especially when it leaves a dent! I've been hit with a door once but luckily managed to wax off the green paint. My previous Jazz was hit with a trolley the first week I got it too =(.
Yeah I hate shopping center car parks, but what can you do? If I have to go to a car park, I usually try and pick a wider spot, or a spot next to a column. Then get in quick, and get out again. And DON'T park next to Camrys, Commodores, 4WDs or Kia Carnival people movers, or any car with a kid seat, because they are usually filled with people who don't care about their own cars let alone anyone else's, or kids who throw doors open into the neighbouring car. Saw this happen to someone else's car just the other day, the kid flung the door open, and it made quite a loud noise as it hit the car next door.
Although parking next to a column bit me in the ass one day - I had parked as close as I could on the left side, then went to the shops. When I came back to my car, some woman hard parked har Toyota Echo more than a foot OVER the lines into my parking spot, SO CLOSE I could not get into my doors! So I could not get into my car. How she missed my car, I have no clue... I had to wait there until the woman returned, and she copped a serve for that.

Hahahaha bad luck about ur parking incident :P
I have the exact same theory as you! Avoid parking next to big family cars or 4WDs. Park next to columns or spots without a rear parking space (sorry if this confuses you), coz the time I parked next to a column at the parking lot, someone must have reversed into me. One time my mate's car parked next to a loading zone (night time) with his car like more than a foot into the loading zone and the car next to his still managed to open their door wide enough to slam the door into his car, my friend saw it and went ape s*** at the person afterwards.
I know how hard to park in shopping centre. The other people just have to use the common sense when parking...Only place i park my car is when i drive to work at Macquarie park, on THursday evening after i finish my work i drive to macquarie shopping centre and i normally park next to BMW or audi or Merc or Lexus such lexuary cars, in that way i feel safe my car is park next to them.. Main reason the people driving these vehicle will be more careful when they open the door or reversing....As i live here in Western suburb i hate parking in shopping centre next to 10-15yrs old big boot Commodore or falcans with rusty doors cars...Thats why i park nearby road and went for shopping...Quote:
