People in Springfield are IGNORANT. I park as far away as possible most of the time. But that guy would have got an ear full and some return damage. 

Doesnt suprise me that he's a fin and feather customer. 

You're painting with a pretty broad brush there Flysmallie. Careful you don't get paint on yourself.

Karma will get him eventually.

Luckily got away with small scuff. I mentioned calling police and the wife said no that he may go crazy Lol.

Sorry that happened. The main thing is that you didn't lose your composure and make the situation way worse.

I think I would have called the police, and given the information you have, maybe you still should. People that rude/ignorant only respond to hard consequences, and minor damage or not, there's a legal responsibility on his part to resolve the situation. Mistakes happen especially with big trucks in a crowded parking lot but in those couple of situations I'm always the one to find the owner of the vehicle and report the situation to the police if necessary. Why that doesn't appear to be common practice is beyond me, especially given that there are security cameras everywhere at this point.

You can't fix someone like that but you can make them think twice about walking away from a situation and being blatantly unapologetic if  cops start talking to them about it.

The police will do nothing about damage that happens in a parking lot.

Yeah I was involved in a wreck in a big parking lot once and we called the cops and were told it was on private property so they couldn't help

I don't believe that's correct.

Causing damage to someone's vehicle and knowingly not attempting to rectify the situation through insurance or some  other agreed upon fashion is a crime. It matters not at all if it occurs on private property, except in the sense that in some cases they wouldn't have to issue a citation whereas it wouldn't be an option if an accident occurred on public property.

None of that is to say that anything would come of reporting this. Odds are at this point it very well may not. But the idea that the law somehow doesn't apply because something occurred on private property is one that is not based in fact.

Trust me. I have had an accident in a parking lot. They don't get involved.

I had to go to the station and file a report.  It all worked out just a big pain.  If it was an assault or something they could do it. But lets face it cops dont patrol parking lots for violations

Sometimes it can be tough to get in and out of a truck, depending on situation.  Sometimes when I grandson sit we go places in my truck, just a normal extended cab F150.  As a rule I park a long way away, usually at the last cart return with one space between my vehicle and the cart corral, no body wants to park there.  Getting the door open and back door open to get grandson out of car seat, add a little wind and doors can move fast.  I have come back and had folks parked so close we had to maneuver a little to get him and out stuff into the truck.  The guys you ran into are just A-holes.
