Do you love your car?

I'm sure all of us here love our cars.

Don't you just hate it when you come back to the parking lot and your car is dented by some careless driver or passenger opening his door wide enough for an elephant to pass through?

To those who were victimized by these guiltless people, I'm sure you'll agree we need compensation. To me, even a simple sorry note on my door or windshield will suffice. But if the damage is substantial, I'll demand monetary compensation.

Bear with me on this one but this is my advocacy: enough abuse on our clueless cars!

This is what I've been doing, and propose to be done by everyone. If I witness an event like that, I approach the offending person and serve him notice on the damage he has caused to another person's car. I admonish him to own up to the damage and inform the owner with a message posted on the windshield, driver's side. If he doesn't, I'm the one who leaves a note to the car owner regarding the incident and leave important data like the plate number of the car, make and model, even description of the driver. I make sure the victims get their message by slipping it on the inside of the driver side door.

Imagine if everyone does this, we can trigger guilt on the offending party. No one should leave the parking lot when they cause damage to someone else's property, no matter how small.

The past year I've been doing this, I've come across all types of people from the apologetic-harassed-for-time moms to the filthiest scum of the earth.

One time, a brash balding old man on an EK Honda dented a new Ford Focus parked at Greenhills. I approached him and told him about his "mistake". He said: "sa yo ba yang auto?" I said: "hindi po pero baka gusto niyo magiwan ng note sa may-ari?". The guy went berserk and even threathened me. To make the story short, I left the note to the driver but didn't tell him what i did next.

Soon as baldy left, I got out my trusty Spyderco folder, and stabbed the roof multiple times. He must've cursed the next rain that came along! ;)

Payback is a bitch! Yeah baldy with the leaky EK Honda, that was me!

Unfortunately your own example is not one of the best examples yet it does show what kind of trouble such action can bring to someone who has the best intentions at heart. If that is what happens most of the time, I don't think a lot of people would be following your footsteps.

Don't get me wrong, I do side with you on your intentions but I don't think your methods hold much appeal to the general public. I don't think vigilante vandalism is much of a worthwhile crusade.

Bros, marami talagang maaangas na tao sa mundo. Ako nga tabing-tabi na sa poste, minsan, may tama pa rin ang tagiliran sa side na may pumaradang sasakyan..... Saludo ako sa iyong pagiging maaalahanin sa kapwa mo drivers at sa opinyon ko ay dapat kang pamarisan namin sa iyong gawain na lapitan ang nagkasalang driver at kumbinsihin siyang mag-iwan ng notice sa na-offend niyang driver/sasakyan....

Hindi kita sinisisi sa ginawa mo bro.,- lalo na at ganyan pa ang natanggap mong reaksyon kay baldy... Pakiwari ko at talagang nararapat lang na makakuha siya ng katapat sa kanyang kagagvh*ng gawain.... Lahat tayo at nagdidilim minsan ang isip sa galit sa mga ganitong klaseng nilalang.... Sana lang ay mag-ingat ka at huwag mong gawin itong palagian, ok? Ito na sana ang huli at sana ay hindi ka makaengkwentro pa ng katulad niya....

At kung ako man ang may-ari ng sasakyang tinamaan ni baldy,- Salamat. Assuming he violated my vehicle which was properly parked (and which I always do) and he was without remorse,- he deserved it!

A good with bad examples is still a bad example.

Sana puro good examples lang.

The morality of man, toughts and actions is equated as..bad+bad=bad, good+bad=bad, good+good=good..Ok na sana bro, pero hindi ako sangayon dunsa last na ginawa mo..enough na sana yung nag-iwan ka ng info about sa salarin, or nireport mosa parking attendant..Vigilance should not result to violence, and you should act consistently with your deeds. Do it in an active non-destructive/ vindictive way..
