This is the first time I have heard about not parking next to "nice" vehicles in a parking lot. I usually park far away from building entrances because I don't feel like hunting for a spot. I'll park at the first spot I find after getting into the lot.

Very common, I used to do it all the time when I had cars worth doing it with. Just to try and prevent door dings. I can't count the amount of times I'd park in a back, completely empty part of the lot, only to come back and see one or two vehicles in the very next stalls, despite the lot still being empty and there being dozens of closer parking spots. Just no courtesy. If a nice vehicle parked in a normal spot, yeah park as you would normally. But if it's clearly made an attempt to get away from others, why would anyone park next to it?
I've always wanted to ask those drivers why they do it. I'm sure it's usually not on purpose. I've heard that some bad drivers like to have a car to park next to so they have something to align their car with and get in in straight. Not sure how true that is since I've never had any issues using the lines for that.
