Tackett's Lot "Carless parking"

Back when Potomac Mills was open to commuter parking, I saw a 4-Runner turn into a parking space between a Honda Pilot and another car, even though there were multiple open parking spaces just past the Pilot. As the 4-Runner was parking the car I observed the driver hit the Pilot, stop, back up and reposition her car in an attempt park in that space. When she realized that she still was not positioned properly, she backed up again and parked across the row, get out and look at her car, grab her stuff and stopped and looked at the damage caused to the Pilot and then continue on to the slug line without a thought. So I figured I'd help her out. I left a note for the owner of Pilot with the description of the car, the license plate and my name and cell number. Needless to say the owner of the Pilot contacted the police who in turn contacted the owner of the 4-Runner who tried to deny it. When told that there was a witness, she confessed. Don't know why people think they can get away with this.

A few months ago I came back to my car with a note on my windshield. It was from someone thanking me for bashing my door into theirs and attempting to wipe off the damage. Someone hit the person's car, tried to see if they could wipe off the paint marks, and parked elsewhere leaving an open space for me to park in.

I have a 24 year old "beater" car that I use just for parking in the commuter lot everyday. That way I don't have to worry about mine or my wife's cars getting dinged, vandalized, or stolen.
