Last weekend I couldn't find a place to park on my street so I parked on an adjacent street, on the public road, but in a parking bay iykwim. Completely legal to park there, no yellow lines, no numbered bays or residents only parking. Just bog standard residential road with parking outside.
When I was parking up a man came out of the house outside of which I was parking, walked up to his fence and glared at me before going back in. He didn't say anything.
I left my car, went home and only came back to the car on the Tuesday (bank holiday weekend). No spaces freed up on my own street, that I could see, over the weekend. Upon return I noticed that someone had keyed my car :( It wasn't there when I parked up. My car is just over a year old (I got it second hand) and this is the first mark on it. I had parked the car considerably, not too near or far from the car behind it etc.
Here's my AIBU: I know that I have no proof and it could have been literally anyone but... I suspect the man who came out of his house especially to glare at me. Some people can't stand having any other car bar their own parked outside their house... AIBU to knock on the man's door to see if he saw anything whilst my car was parked outside his house, as some hooligan has keyed it..? If he did it then I will at least make him squirm and if he didn't then he won't be any the wiser.
I fully realise that I may be unreasonable here...
