If you begin to think of the next logical answer most people would then think of getting into an accident, which now you're getting on the right path. The one thing worst then getting in the accident though is leaving the scene of an accident which can cause for jail time. Now you'll only be charge if the accident were to happen on the road, but if it happens on private property to a parked car then you don't need to worry about getting charged.
The one thing you need to worry about the most though is whether or not you'll face fines for leaving the scene of an accident. It also looks a lot worse when you get caught for it and often times the person will be very angry if their car is damaged and you don't say anything and just leave. Most times the person will make you put the damages through your insurance which for something of that nature would make it go up by a couple thousand dollars each year which is terribly high. The only way you can get out of the insurance situation is if the person you hit is willing to let you pay for the damages with cash or a check.
You need to always make sure that no matter the reason you hit the car you need to always remain at the scene and find out whose car it is that you damaged. You'll stand a lot better chance at making sure you can try and have it paid with cash instead of going through insurance, and it also shows you had the initiative to face the music once you did something wrong. Leaving the scene will only result in more problems because nowadays there are cameras everywhere and you definitely won't be able to get away with any type of accident in a parking lot. If you hit a car while driving and leave then you're just completely out of luck because once they find you then you'll be charged and most likely have to spend some time behind bars which can be absolutely brutal.
The best thing to do is always remain calm and if you do in fact get into accident realize it's not the end of the world and you need to stay at the scene. If you stay at the scene then often everything can be worked out without the need for getting charged with leaving the scene of an accident. That is not a charge taken lightly and you could face fines and jail time if you get caught doing that.
