Just want to increase the possibilities of catching someone doing whatever to my car, especially a hit and run situation during parking...happens way too often here.

I don't do it personally, but I know folks who do. I know that iTronics has a special power adapter that will keep the camera powered with the ignition off unless/until battery voltage drops below a certain threshold. That way it will record video for as long as it can without draining your car battery.
I believe most dashcam manufacturers offer a similar power rig, and most also will have the ability to only trigger recording when motion is detected.
