People Keep Hitting my Car

People keep hitting my car and I don't know why. Is there a sign above my car that says "Smack my ride" that I can't see?

When I was in my apartment I heard a loud crunch and I looked out the window to find some guy had taken my bumper clean off the car trying to force his gas guzzling SUV through a space too small.  I went down and asked what happened and the driver and three passengers looked at me and said "Hmmm.  Don't know what happened here."  Also, when I got downstairs, my bumper was magically back on my car.  After they realized I was the owner of the car, they admitted they hit the car and then asked if it looked alright to me.  I touched the bumper with my finger and it fell off.

Last week I was searching for a parking space so I could visit my friend who manages a coffee shop in Gungdong.  Driving round and round searching for the elusive space.  I started to turn left down this one street when I saw a large SUV barreling down the road.  I stopped abruptly and then a scooter rammed into the back of my car.  I got out to look at the damage when the guy on the scooter (no helmet with a passenger) started wingeing about his leg.

"Shut up!" I yelled.  "You hit my car.  Shut up!"

The winger shut up and then started to moan again.  I noticed that half of his fender was coming off the scooter. People tend to follow to closely when they drive motor vehicles here in this country.
