With your history on the forums? That's a knee-slapper.

So I did not misunderstand that. You noticed the truck was too close and that the driver was still in the truck. You thought it was very likely that he was going to ding your car but you took no preventive action. Not even simply speaking to him or moving your car.

Ah, I see. Someone who was likely to flip out simply because you warned him not to hit your car would also be, as you said, cautious, consider and courteous enough to take steps to avoid hitting your car.
How could I know that he would be cautious and courteous until after the fact? To start he parked his big truck too close to my car.

This is just funny. You didn't handle it. You did nothing! That is not handling it. It was your prerogative to protect your car but you left that up to him. It is humorous that you mention he did not know that you were even present or that it was your car. Given the situation I would think that making him aware of your presence and indicating that it was your car would have made him cautious of hitting that car. That would have required nothing move that you unlocking, approaching or entering your car.
Sometimes inaction is the best action. Jumping the gun or jumping to conclusions can get you in much worse situations. As demonstrated here, doing nothing led to the best outcome.

Pardon me for reading your posts and coming to the wrong conclusion.
No problem, we're pretty used to it here .
