I always park in a far corner of car parks, preferably the last space in a row to reduce the chance of scratching by 50%. I once drove to the roof floor and parked my car in the last marked space. When I returned, a small car had squeezed into the remaining gap between the last marked space and the wall of the lift house. Never again!
