I can echo all of KShep's great advice.
I very rarely ever valet my cars. I don't trust them either. I always look for an end spot, and park as close to the island or curb as safely possible. At least you can "protect" one side, and allow the most room for the person who may park next to you.
Other advice I can offer:
1) Windy days can be dangerous in paking lots, watch out for wind-blown shopping carts
2) If you see a stray shopping cart in a lot, push it to a safe spot, because if not, it may be the one stray that hits your car
3) I'll drive around a parking garage or parking lot looking for a "good" spot, like an end-spot. It is easier to walk a couple extra blocks, than it is to get your car repaired.
4) Don't park in 2 spots- this invites vandalism
5) Don't leave valuables in plain sight
I religiously follow these rules, with great success...even with my company provided cars...that are not even mine.
GOOD LUCK!
