I've used purple parking meet and greet at Heathrow quite a few times with no issue. I use the service when I have a bike in tow, as lugging a bike bag too and from the offsite car park 5 miles away is a real pain in the ass.
I always tape a note to the steering wheel to remind me to check the car before I leave, and also write the milege as of when I dropped it off.. I guess this also makes whoever moves the car think twice before ragging it about and/or crashing in to shit.
That was the M135 tho... I don't think anyone will be taking a diesel mini estate for a joyride.
Sorry for your continued bad luck with the Porsche!

You wouldn't like it quite as much if you had seen where your car was kept! The PP storage facility is a huge demolition site with no proper hardstanding, severely potholed roadways and poor security. The driver who meets you at the airport hands the car over to a lovely bloke at the other end who will 'drift' your car to its storage location.
Before returning the car, the staff will kindly pop some air your punctured tyres so you don't notice them for an hour or two and chuck a bucket of water over the car to hide it's been taken around the rally stage.
Never use Purple Parking.
I don't think the car is cursed, I think that people, in general, need to take more care in what they do.
In that I include myself, as I should have gone round the car before leaving the car park - might well have made the current situation more straightforward in some ways.
No matter who pays for it I'll replace the bumper with a new one, get it repainted, I'm keeping the car.
