I do get bothered when I see stuff left under my wiper, if only because I immediately have to start checking for scratches from belt-buckles, jeans rivets, etc., on the front fender! So in general I am against people leaving stuff under my wiper.... That said, if it was an enthusiast-related item, one would think that the 'placer' would be careful about leaning against the car when placing the item....

 

The idea of leaving them only under the wiper of older Audis is a good one too, as the owners of newer Audis don't tend to be 'enthusiasts' like those that populate this list. As thwe owner of a newer Audi, I always give a wave to other A4 drivers. I have gotten a return wave about 3 times, and only from heavily-modded A4's. So, I would say don't waste the car on newer cars unless it's modified.
