I bet it was a shopping cart - you said it was windy and for some reason lazy people on a good day can't walk over and put it in the cart corral. Someone probably just left it sitting and drove off; wind that blew it across the lot and into you. Store personnel were out collecting just before you came out I bet.

He was at Target, their carts are red and plastic.

This is why I always take great care where I park my car. I don't think people do this maliciously; mostly they're just stupid, so it's not personal. Infuriating just the same.
What also ticks me off is when I park a nice car way, way in back of a lot and come out to find some beater parked right beside me. I've come to the conclusion that these people really do that JUST TO intentionally aggravate me. Makes me want to be not so nice.

Sorry about your car. That wicked sucks. I would be beside myself. I would check to see if the store had video cameras. Jealousy and stupidity drive me crazy. GOOD LUCK!

Yes the farther away you park, the more they do it. Its almost like they have to prove themselves to you. They want you to see "their" car and admire it.

Little do they realize that Mustang owners could care less for whats next to them if it doesn't bear the blue oval.

Exactly. A little 9-10 year old Indian boy creased my fender at the park while I was still in the car. He was excited and flung his rear door open.

Poor kid he looked so scared and I let it go.

However, I will honestly admit that my initial instinct/thought was that he deserved a Bangladesh beat down.

You would think. I have an appointment today with a PDR place. I hope they can get the body line back.

Yea, he said he could probably get it to 90-95%. It's really my only option accept for a body repair and reprinting the door. He should be done soon. I'll post picks.

Looks like you got a good man working on it because he knew to go through the window sill versus pulling the panel.

I've been frantically researching PDR after I got my third dent. It really is amazing what they can do!

Keeping our fingers crossed for you!

He told me if I'm not happy with it we will shake hands and walk away with no charge. We will see what he comes up with.
