[QUOTE="FordSVTFan, post: 4631306, member: 2243"] Unless you have proof that his wife's car caused the damage, you are S.O.L. in small claims court. While you only need to prove your side by a preponderance (50.1%) of the evidence, you need that proof. He will simply claim because you car was driven elsewhere that is where the damage occurred. If his wife's car cause all the dings while both cars were parked in the same spots, the dings will form a line. Although at different places on the car, the height from the ground should be the same as the same part of the edge of the door will contact your car in the same spot every time (heightwise). Take a piece of string an line them all up and photograph that. The measure the diameter of the ding. Then take pictures of the leading edge of the wife's car and you should see visible paint chips even with her door closed. Take pictures of those. Measure from the ground up to her chips and the ground up to your dings, they should be the same. Take pictures of your measurements or better yet video of the entire thing. Then with the cars sitting next to each other take the string from her chips on the door edge to your dings and ensure they line up with the string being parallel to the ground. good luck [/QUOTE]
