not if someone decides to key your paintwork because of it ......
It's a risk I take me buddy, but the chance of being keyed is lower than eejits banging their old doors into your shiny paintwork anywayz - P.S. Security camera system in car helps put the mind a bit at rest, but I seriously would batter anyone I caught keying my wheels

People don't see it as someone who wants to protect their car, they just see it as some arrogant tw*t with a BMW taking up 2 spaces.
the retort you gave, I'm afraid, strengthens their argument.
I am afraid I dont agree, I don't have the time in my day to play nicey nicey with pillox that scream at me and try to bully me because I dare to be different from all the other sheep in the world. Why should I spend my precious time trying to get that pr1ck to try and understand WHY i might be taking up 2 spaces? Reasoning with these idiots is fruitless , they can't even spell understanding...My response is clearly a reaction to the fact that I recognised this idiot was deciding to be confrontational - kids like this wanna go around being tuff and playing with big boys rules but shut up quick when you call them out. This response of fight over flight is exactly what the bullies in life don't get enough of, It makes the silly little gets that go around trying to bully and intimidate people that dare to be different from the sheep in life finally realise that we will not all stand for it, these ar5eh0l35 abuse everyone they meet until they meet those of us that won't stand for it -then they finally realise that if they wanna talk the talk they have to walk the walk, dickwads like that aint gonna key yer car when they know you'll tear em a new one if they even breathe on it.... :wink:
and if they do and they get away with it then so be it, lucky strike, that's what insurance is for, I aint gonna lose sleep that's for sure- but the stakes of being caught are far higher than the odds of getting away with it, & I always park mine in FULL view off CCTV that I already know is working.
I tend to have a chat with the security fellas that are on site myself, however if you know the law, you have the right under current legislation to ask for a copy of any public camera recording that you are caught / recorded in, it'll no doubt cost you a processing fee, but they have got to provide it, so if you pick the nearest camera to where you always park, note the date and time and provide this information to the owner of the CCTV system asking for the recording with you in it, you soon find out which ones are serviceable and monitored and which are not, safer rather than sorry
the point I am making is that maliciousness / malicious damage is seen in another light by your insurance company, so being able to prove it was just that is worth the hassle if you need to that's all
Apologies for the rant, But I am an old dog trying to learn new tricks
(1952 was a very good year 
terrible, & you have a very fair point. Not really much I can add
)
