If it had done more than crack the $8 mount I would be super pissed. I'm pretty sure it was the 3-series I parked behind and hopefully they live around me and I'll see the car again so I can leave them a friendly note. Also I hope the brackets made a nice gouge in their bumper.
I actually take license numbers of cars that look like they'd be driven by idiots that are near me in parking lots. Not that it stopped $2500 in damage to my Mazda when I was parked well clear of anything, but it makes me feel like I have a little control. Probably was a BMW. Around here they're all driven by the same boring unaware people who drive a Taurus or Camry, but more concerned with the name on the trunk and also under the mistaken impression that just because their car comes from a place with unrestricted speed limits that they must be the fastest car in traffic even while leading a parade. They are probably in my way more often than Priuses and Buicks.
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.
If I did that, I would leave a note on your car, and honestly probably be under the impression that because the damage was so minor that you probably wouldn't do anything about it, and be happy that I was at least courteous enough to leave a note. But I would still be willing to pay for damage if you so requested. I fucked up, it's only fair.

Every once in awhile I will write down a plate# and description. I was a little concerned about it since I parked kind of close because I was on the end next to a driveway. I actually got back in my car and moved back a few inches so that he would have more room to get out.
The mount was $15 shipped, and I'm glad I have the plastic ones instead of the steel and aluminum brackets you can buy. Otherwise it would have probably broken the reflector or lens, which is a $52 part.
