The Side-View Mirror Incident

I sometimes go to Greencastle to run instead of jogging up and down the country road that we live on.  When I do this, I have a few usual places that I go: Big Walnut Sports Park, Depauw Nature Center, or the People Pathway.
Two days ago, I decided to run around Depauw's campus, because I figured that there wouldn't be any leftover ice/snow/perilous running surfaces.  To accomplish this, I parked on Seminary Street near 231 North, which is just on the edge of campus.  I parked a few spots in on the street and in a place where I figured that no residential car would back into me.  I put in my headphones and went for a run.
30 minutes later I run up to my van and notice that there is a mirror lying on the ground.  I bend over and quickly realize that it looks a lot like the side view mirror of my van.  Then I look up to see that my side view mirror is, indeed, not attached to my van anymore.  The housing of the mirror is still there, but is bent forward to be parallel with the side of the van.  I stand there, in the West bound land of Seminary Street, staring at my damaged vehicle.  I think I stood there for a couple minutes, trying to imagine how anyone could have hit my van when it was the only one parked on a pretty wide street in broad daylight.
My view was something like this:

I snapped out of my imagining session and tried to reattach the mirror.  I plugged in the parts that defrost the mirror and snapped it back in.  Then, as I was trying out the auto-adjust feature from inside the van, a woman pulled up in a van and said "I hit your mirror, let me pull over and get you my insurance info."
From what I gathered in the next 5 minutes, the lady had misjudged the distance between her van and mine as she was driving by and her mirror hit my mirror.  Her mirror broke off completely and was scattered on Seminary Street.  She continued on after hitting my van because I wasn't around and she needed to pick up her son at the library right down the street.  As she returned, she spotted me and waved me down.
Luckily, my van is pretty new and has breakaway side view mirrors, so I don't think there was any damage.  The mirror itself must be unbreakable as well.  
I have to wonder if this would have gone down this way were I parked in Indianapolis? Avon?
I would like to hope so, but know that there are a lot of people driving around with jacked up side view mirrors, so maybe not.
 Anyways, this reminded me of the fact that there are a LOT of honest people out there and I liketo think that Putnam County has quite a few of them.
