This question has been in my mind for quite some time. If you find out the car parked next to you make a dent on your door, can you actually sue that AH?

Possibly, if you have a small claims court system there. The amount of damage would be the deciding factor where it would end up in the court system. Of course you'd need to see the act with one or more witnesses to make your case.

Of course, it would probably work better if you walked up to him (again, have witnesses) and told him while you were at the local brothel last night you found that his wife and daughter made a pretty good tag-team........then get him arrested for assault when he decks you!

Can you prove it was them? If not you can't sue I would imagine.

It's a real p*sser when this happens. I never park next to another car and also park as far away as possible from the entrance to stores etc.
