Default generally speaking...people suck

Today I was reminded why this is true. Left my car for 30min in a shopping center lot. Purposely parked far away from the stores in an effort to avoid such @$$holery. No note left by the perp. Only had this car for about 200 miles:

Man, that is such a bummer! People truly are jerks out there, but then again they will always be jerks and at the bottom of the food chain.

That sucks, but easily fixable. When did you pick one up?

Yes, very frustrating. Look on the bright side…no dented steel are broken tail light. Had it caught the, exhaust, decklid, or corner panel it would have been a lot worse.

I suppose I should be happy that no metal was damaged.

For nearly the last 8 years I never gave a 2nd thought to parking my 930 anywhere. I've had this car for 2 weeks and...

Mr. Surgeon, I picked this up 2 weeks ago. '09 Midnight Blue over sand beige, 6MT, 22k miles, CPO.

That tail light does look a little damaged. See a line running up the middle. Hope it is nothing.

And yes, generally speaking...people suck.

That does suck. My 911 was caught in a hail storm within weeks of buying it. Took it to a Porsche approved body shop, and it came out like new.

It'll be a hassle but yours will look great. Don't let this deter you doing enjoying your gorgeous car...T

Sorry, that sucks. People are ********. The good news: This is an easy repair, could've been worse. Good luck.
