Why? Cant I have nice things? Is it too much to ask for people to act responsible around other peoples property? If some one thew a baseball through your window, do you have a right to be upset or is that just something that happens every now and then??

I do expect to get dings every now and then. I also expect at least an apology and for large dings I expect some compensation.

I respect everybody's car, regardless of whether it shows up on the cover of Hot Rod or not.
Amen! Just remember, you have to try to protect yourself. People now days simply do not give a damn!

Exactly!

I am shocked about 16 votes who say it is okay to damage other peoples property.

So a parking lot is a public place where cars are parked next to each other with lines. Depending on the use of said lines, and distance, doors can be opened/impact others


A baseball through a window would require the ball to come onto private property. Unless, of course, you bought a home that happens to be lined up with a pitching cage and then you complain.

A better comparison is buying a home under a airport approach, and then complaining about the noise.
