My next thought was that somebody had tried to scrape the parking sticker off and caused the damage but I can't imagine why. The parking stickers are cheap enough as to be practically free so there really is no reason to try to steal one.
The Bullet is never parked close enough to cars for this to be a door ding and it isn't a ding but a scrape. So, that leaves that option out and it doesn't appear that the Bullet had been hit hard enough by a door to cause this much loss of paint without leaving a ding.
It has me baffled, I guess I'll never know. The next step is to get some touch up paint, clean off the goop left behind by the sticker's adhesive, and cover it up as best I can.
As Tony Soprano was fond of saying, "what're you gonna do?"
On the way to work this morning, I stopped at the Shell station on the corner of 30 and Spring Mill to fill-up. This is never a good idea because this Shell has to be the most expensive gas station in the whole tri-state area. The odo was at 720.2 and it should have been good to go up to at least 747 miles but last night on the way back from work the gas light was flashing intermittently. Supposedly, that light comes on once you are into the reserves and stays on solid. Didn't think there was any need to risk going dry even when it meant having to pay extra for the gas. The tank took 2.52 gallons to fill and it should be good up to 920 miles for the next fill-up. Mileage figured out to 67.82 mpg.
