I left one of my cars outside (didn't drive it, didn't need too) obviously it was out with all the bad weather, and today once a lot of the snow has gone, I've seen four random dotted dent holes on the front left panel, plus a few scratches. I would think some wanker might of gone in to me ? but literally no cars have moved that were next to mine

Maybe been there before but never noticed? I only noticed a crack in my windscreen at the top when scraping it
Iv heard some heavy hailstones before and thought that doesnt sound healthy on the paintwork

100 Per cent wasn't there mate. You know when you're looking at your car, and all of a sudden you stop and stare and think 'that wasn't there last time!' and that basically happened when I was out this morning. Couldn't believe it!
Four dents, like a golf ball has been hit at it, that kind of size!

Nope nothing like that. I really am utterly bemused by what the fuck has happened.

I don't think so mate, the access isn't easy for people to get near it. I really am so pissed off about it, especially since i put the thing up for sale a day before I saw it!

The snow just falling on your car can't damage it no, obviously.

Depends how much snow we're talking about? Snow is heavy, it could easily dent a roof.

Would cave in the whole roof if it was that heavy, wouldn't put multiple small dents in it.

Must be made of some really thin metal to bend like that, how do cars in countries with proper snow not get caved in roofs?

I'd say with the length of some of the icicles hanging off houses it could quite easily pull small dents in a car!
That 350z is mad

Icicles walling off a roof is not equal to snow falling on your car.
That's like saying rain and wind damage cars because they can cause tiles to fall off the roof.
