I do the same. Here is my paranoid guide to parking I rigidly follow.
1 Number one park as far away as any one else as you can.
2 try to find the end or wider bay eg next to a fire exit or path
3 if fee long really cheeky out you know the ship or its owners take up 2 spaces. Very naughty this though!
3 park where eg if you are in a hotel or restaurant, you can see the car, and if necessary move it. I did this last week.
4 if you reAlly have to have neighbours park next to cars that look cared for for or are small or have smalldoors eg some 3 door hAtches have huge openiings.
Take note of the neighbour cars eg plate etc. You can confront them if needs be.
5 d don't take the car if you have an alternative ie I take my motor bike to my dentists as their car park is horrid.
6 mind over matter. TRY but I know it's not easy to think it really is just a car. I know not the mini I hear you say. But I dented my wife's last mini with the Hoover which fell over. Dents away paintless repair did a perfect job for £100. Tis only money and he she is worth it
