Maybe I should get ENRAGED like that whatisname that reports GAIJIN crime for us.
Seems really superficial, the kind that go away easily with 5 minutes of buffing/polish/wax. Honestly, looks like someone with keyholder at his belt that tried to squeeze between 2 car and scratched one...
(Wave due to side steps, parallel waves due to 2 items coming into contact at the same time, not going until the front because he entered the car on the right of yours).
Usually, when someone 'key' a car there is no overlap between strokes as they are made while walking quickly on the side, would be deeper, and either straighter because of walking speed or more accented because of the 'parking rage'.
That is a shocking alignment issue between the bodywork and the bumper too.
ABS bumpers sags in or out at the edge due to the desired flexibility mixed with the casting shape and the place of the anchor point to the bathtub/bodywork. Traditionally for the sides parallels to the bodywork you got a nylon male rail screwed to the metal fender where you press fit the upper sides of the bumper. The press fit is traditionally designed to release when you push the bumper in from behind to allow minor collision to only de-clips the side freely moving outward and up guided by the nylon rail to avoid damaging the metal bodywork. If you look at the panel gap that appears to be quite constant you can bet that the minor misalignment is certainly under factory spec and might be due to temperature or body flex.
And trying to park off the road in future.
Nothing in this picture allows to determine if the car is parked legally or illegally. AND the fact that the driver is beside taking a picture could make the car just "stopped" therefore extending even more the possibility of a legal situation.
