Probably a scam but who knows.

It’s overkill, but after a coworker had their brand new car hit twice in parking lots (looks like door dings) he now takes pictures of the cars he parks next to and their license plates, so if he comes out and sees a blue paint park on his door and there was a blue Escape next to him when he went into the store, he can file a claim that it was them.

I thought it was silly, but then he showed me a spot on the door where it was a perfect storm and location to get dented in right on a seam and the quote he got from his buddies work was still like $375 to fix it. I’d assume the deductible would still make it not worthwhile to pursue but who knows
