I think using them in a public parking lot will be an invitation to trouble.

Aren't most of those intended for home use to keep bicycles, the spouse's car door, etc. from dinging the car?

I don't think that they'll work on the rear doors - they're aluminum.

I've used them for the past 3 years - they're great!
1. Do remember to remove them before you drive.
2. They won't scratch the paint because they don't move. (See #1)
3. I live in NYC and they've never been stolen. I suspect that's because most people, as we know, don't care about door dings - so they wouldn't bother with ding protectors.
4. As far as inviting trouble - like keying? - that's a good question. I could see how they might invite trouble.
