Not enough space for a stroller, had to walk in the middle of the street to go around the SUV.

You’re not just inconveniencing them, you’re literally causing hundreds of dollars in damage.
Damaging their car isn’t helping anyone, except for making yourself feel better, it’s such an immature way to respond.
It’s like punching someone for using racial slurs and derogatory terms. You’re not in the right to punch them.
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.
Leaving the world blind? By scratching the paint? It doesn't affect driving or put someone in danger, it would just look less pretty and annoy the owner of an expensive car who can't park.
If there aren't penelties to being an ass, why would these people ever stop? Clearly this person hasn't learned how to park correctly and not fuck other people over, so until they do they should have consequences. Doing nothing just let's them know they can keep doing this without consequences.
It's easy to estimate the damage to their car. What's less easy to estimate is how damaging it is to slightly inconvenience everyone who walks by there.
I live in a country where everyone parks like there are no laws, because the police does nothing about it. There are traffic jams and accidents on a daily basis in a small (less than 20 million people) country, all because drivers don't give a shit if they're leaving the car in the first lane for 20 minutes while they're shopping, or that kids are walking through traffic because the sidewalk is considered free parking.
Yeah, I won't be inconvenienced too much by that guy's car, I'll just go around it. My neighbor in a wheelchair usually doesn't have that luxury, he needs to pretend he's a car for a few minutes and be in the first lane until the sidewalk is clear.
And no, an eye for an eye doesn't leave everyone blind. The only one left blind is the jerk who tries it on two different people.
I know we disagree on this and that's okay, I expect I'm on the wrong side of the fence on this one and I'm okay with it - different backgrounds & opinions & all that. I was just curious if you're arguing from a legal point of view or from a moral point of view. Have a good one :)
