wwaswas, I’d say so if someone has OBVIOUSLY twatted your car and not left a note or anything. Why not give them some damage in return?
The alternative I suppose is to leave a note with your contact details saying you have taken photo’s, have their reg no and will be contacting the police if you don’t hear from them regarding the damage they have caused.
Some people treasure their possessions less than others and see banging doors into car bodywork as no big deal. I hate it when I find small parking dints in my car, even a bit of paint rub with not dent gets me peed off.
My car has got long doors with few ‘stop’ points, but I never let my door touch a neighbouring car, even if it means contorting myself to get out, or moving to another spot.
