sad part is there are people who would see that and damage your car in spite of it

I would use them at work where it happens and i would not worry about them getting stolen. I just wonder how they stick.

If they're like the ones i've seen then they are magnetic and also have a "tab" that get's locked into the door so it can't be stolen

Looks kind of silly to me . I'll just keep parking far away from everyone and hope that continues to work.

I have managed to keep it down to two dings in the last few years but it seems like every once in a while, I can be parked in BFE and some jackass comes and parks right next to me just to be a dick. I am preety sure both dings have happened at my gym so I now take up two parking spaces at the gym and I go later so i don't get hassled.

I wouldnt recommend that, thatll encourage people to mess with you.

Same here, I always park as far away from everything as possible (Yet I still have 2-4 small dings)

The dings are so small though that you dont even notice unless theyre pointed out. Not bad for 5 years.

I would never actually screw with another person's car, but I can't stand to see somebody do this. I think you're asking for your car to get keyed.
