The lazy, inconsiderate pieces of sh!t don't like to walk far, so parking at the far reaches of the lot is fairly effective method for avoiding them, regardless of store and clientele. It also offers the bonus of putting your vehicle all by its lonesome, usually near a road, so potential a$$holes are highly visible to multiple witnesses.
Thats where I was parked at Cracker Barrel, a 1/4 mile from the front door and a hell of a rainstorm also. I think someone hopped out of their car and did it, I was in the last spot in the far corner. The side next to the grass was scratched. Probably a jealous import owner.... (fill in the name of the vehicle yourselves) LOL

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, Bsack. I shop at Wal-Mart. Pretty much all of my friends do, too. And, considering that 10% of all retail dollars spent in the U.S. last year were spent at a Wal-Mart (a fact presented on CNBC, which I devour 4-6 hours per day to manage my investment portfolio, something that wouldn't seem to fit your description of a Wal-Mart shopper), it would seem that there are quite a few of the U.S. populace who are shopping at Wal-Mart.

...back on topic.

Sorry about your misfortune. The worst I got was an egg on my driver's side front door.

I was heading to church, walked to my Jeep in front of my own house, and saw a baby chicken splattered on her. I fortunately had enough time to run to the back and rinse off majority of the yolk and shell bits. After church I did some more inspecting and saw that a good amount of the yolk dripped down in between that crevice of my Sahara sidesteps and the body. That was a pain in my butt to clean. Some people just have no respect anymore....

Sorry, it bothers me when folks are easily offended by a light-hearted comment. But when I read that you weren't "cracking wise", I figured you intended your comment to be serious. The lack of a smiley or other hint suggesting that your comment shouldn't be taken as an insult seemed telling as well. Again, sorry. And, I have all my teeth except the wisdoms (hah!) and have lived many places around the world.

OK now I am offended because you used the word Smiley without a capital S in the last post. I am actually missing one tooth, cracked it on a stray piece of shell sucking down some tasty raw oysters down in OBX, but since it was replaced with a $1200 crown, does that make me a King.

Bottom Line is: mean people suck and destroying someone else's property seems to be the norm anywhere you go. Just go set in any parking lot for about 30 minutes and watch people try to drive and park. It's insane. People run into cars and don't even notice or act like they didn't do it.

Now because most people often confuse your 4-dr with a hummer (sorry but it's true), you might be getting targeted. I heard that two groups called ELF and ALF were posting crazy stuff on their websites calling on people to carry out these acts.
just a theory.....
well then, maybe the licence plate should read BIODIZL to keep those guys off

That's some lowlife vandalism; He went out of his way to nail you. Unless it's a major a$$bag, jealousy doesn't usually show up in that way. I would believe it's more likely ALF or ELF wannabe idiots.
It's sad and amazing what rich white kids that haven't worked for what they have and neo-hippies will do for "their cause." I had a couple stepkids in my first marriage. Their friends were all "very well off" and had everything they ever asked for. The kids "talked the talk" on the environment and global warming, but wouldn't think twice about throwing trash or a cigarette butt out a car window. They also weren't above vandalism or theft, just for the thrill of getting away with it.

My Jeep got it's driver's side door lock completely mangled. The funny part is, they didn't get in... and it has a soft top . Luckily, it was untouched otherwise. Maybe all they wanted to do was mess up the door lock? It was, however, an expensive ass fix...about $250 if I remember correctly.
