So I rent my parking spot from the ‘said’ landlord, it’s a decent parking space, one side is free of any other cars with space to open my door fully, while the other side, well it has a car. So I always try my best to park so that my car as close as possible to the empty side, eg…my wheels are usually literally touching the line, or just inside the line, giving space to the next car to me (the red car) ease of exit etc. The space between my car and the red card is enough so that the door can open to the ‘second’ stop point with room to spare when I open the door.
I’ve parked in this spot since Nov 2018 without any incident.
So recently I hear that the said red car owner had an issue with my ‘landlord,’ which included a court case, one day I was confronted by the guy in the red car, asking if I lived there (I did not) but I just disclosed that I rented from the said landlord, and I declined to give him my number. Now he wasn’t very complimentary of my landlord, which figures, and he mentioned he was the new director of the estate (and apparently my landlord wasn’t anymore) and soon all parking permits would cease etc (perhaps it’s scare tactics). As far as I know, my landlord still issues permits and is the director (and everyone’s permit, notices on the wall has my landlord’s name / signature on it).
Now recently I’ve noticed the odd ding (red paint) with my paint little bit coming off the lower/underside on my front passenger door handle of my car, ok, not a problem, I know some people are careless, and looking at the red card next to me, it’s quite banged up (it’s a 58 plate Megane 2 door J LO bum edition, that one!), with most of it’s driver’s door front edge more white and grey than red. So I guess this person doesn’t really take care when opening his door.
I polished it, put some touch up paint, almost good as new. So sometimes I park my car the other way, guess what, now there’ a red paint ding on the driver’s side door handle same level. So these 3-4 dings only happened since he confronted me.
What would you do?
Should I, contact my landlord and tell this to him, and risk them fighting plus getting my car more banged up potentially?
Should I confront this person next time I see him, or should I leave a polite note to kindly be careful? I really doubt this person would take too kindly to a note.
Should I get a dash-cam, that records non-stop, I mean I’m 100% sure it’s the red car dinging my car, but I didn’t see it, plus why is it the minute he has an issue with my landlord or I refuse giving my number these dings start? Coincidence? Or am I overthinking…
Should I report this to the authorities or your experience is that nothing can really be done?
Thanks for reading!
