Ah yes, but small children could destroy anything given enough opportunity and time.
And they don't need much of that

And if it can, maybe you shouldn't leave it outside in a public place. I mean, my three piece suite takes more abuse than that and I still wouldn't park it on the road

My daughter, when she was 4, proudly told me one Sunday afternoon that she and her 3 year old friend had washed my 3 month old estate car for me. They'd used her sandcastle bucket filled with soapy water and a washing up sponge [you know those ones with the green pan scourer side]... the car was dark green before she started.... thankfully being only 3 and 4 they couldn't reach the bonnet, the windows or the roof.

You should have slit their throats and buried them in quicklime. THEY TOUCHED YOUR CAR.
My old car was a bag-o-shite but would still not like any one leaning against it at a set of lights ... do that to my new car and I'm likely to get out and push you over!
If whilst out on my bike I see anyone leaning on anyones car in traffic I'm tempted to lean on them just to see how they like it

So you think it's reasonable to assault someone for touching your car?
That's a bit psychopathic.

If anyone even looks at my car I'll disembowel them. It's only fair. I bought it with my hard earned money!
Just don't touch other people's stuff without asking. It's simple. Why would you want to offend people that have done nothing to you? Some people don't like being touched and they don't want their posessions being touched by strangers. Why is it so difficult to respect that?
The key word here is he 'allows' people to touch it..A teacher at one college allows his pupils to not only touch his car, but paint it!

I think the differentiation needs to be made between someone who leans on the car because they are lazy etc which warrants a "please can you not prop yourself up on my car?" at worst. And someone who touches/taps/ bangs on the car because they are in fear of their safety. Neither requires an aggressive response and in one the car driver should possibly be concerned they are about to injure a fellow human being.
Fair enough, but:
1) this is something the driver has chosen to bring into a public space, so sometimes it will get touched by other people, so just deal with it
2) assault is a completely disproportionate response to someone merely touching your property
Assault is a disproportionate response, but why put yourself in that situation in the first place? Unless of course you're looking for a confrontation, and I take it you don't mind people touching that expensive looking camera of yours when you take into a public space.

Touching a camera could easily be mistaken for attempted theft. Touching a car is unlikely to be mistaken for this (unless said touching involves poking things in keyholes, through open windows etc!).
