And you also run the possibility of angering the next car's driver/passenger who will then slash your tires and/or key your car.

I actually don't mind parking next to a return trolley return cage. Cause in America, people are lazy as shhhit and don't even use them anyways. I've witnessed a lady roll a cart in front of her car and took the time to make sure it wouldn't roll away. The cart return area was literally 2 stalls away.

I park away from people on end spots, top floors of garages also in corner spots etc. Wife does the same when she takes the AMG, she has a spot at work that is a single spot with two enormous pillars on each side so nobody can come within 8 feet of each side. Did the same with my 2011 S4. Had it 4.5 years without a single ding.

I park as far away as possible from other cars. I use the extra walking as excercise.
It just seems many people don't care about their cars and other people's property.
