You could use either and people would understand what you're saying, but saying "in the car park" would imply that it was an instance within the park, while "of the car park" implies more that it happened to the whole park.

Derek gave a very good answer. "Arson in the car park" implies that an object within the car park, for example, a car or trash bin, burned. "Arson of the car park" implies that the fire involved the structure itself, along with contents. And, of course, if you're referring to the USA, it's a parking garage or parking lot.

i don't extremely discover any utilization annoying, because of the fact there is not any one set "customary" of English. the concept that language is a sequence-in-stone subject is an archaic perpetuation of the class gadget, stemming lower back to the early modern english era. study Algeo's concepts on grammar from that era. besides, my element is we don't communicate previous English, and does not realize it if we heard it (it sounds greater like norwegian with some german blended with it). that is because of the fact there is not any splendid thank you to chat English, that is all subjective. Sorry it particularly is see you later.
