I beg to differ. Whether or public or private property, damaging someone else's property is against the law. If it is an accident, you still have to pay. In law, we call this "negligence." The "recourse" is a small claims lawsuit with pictures of both cars' paint.

Although I sympathise with you on the neighbours antics, public parking is just that. You have no recourse to this problem. I hope that you can work it out with the person parking next to you. You might have to get other parking arrangements. It might be better than joining the NRA or getting a posse to ride with you. I live next door to a public building that has meeting, parties and a day care. Traffic around my house is abnormal many nights of the week. I was told that parking in another area was my best recourse. P---ing Off your neighbour obviously creates dents in your classic Imperial. Good luck!!! RC Billings Montanaaaaaaa
