When I bought my first new car: a Neon back in The Days When Being in IT Did Not Suck(TM), I was worried about that too. Then, one day, I came out and found that some jerk plowed into my back bumper and went away. I never got it fixed; it wasn't that bad, but it did take away any hope I had for having a nice car since there are other people in the world (a problem I haven't found a solution for yet, but I'm working on it!)

Second parking as far away from all other cars IMO is pretty dumb because generally if you are rolling through a parking lot in your pimped out Escort you are taking it slow and watching out for things when you are in the core part of the parking lot where the bulk of the cars are parked, but once you clear that area you usually are going like a bat of hell and aren't paying much attention because no one parks out there - you are just asking for a collision.
