Felony Hit and Run, Wiped out Drivers Door Options

[DonTraver]

Stopped at a store yesterday to pick up something, the 6 was parked less than 5 minutes. Scumbag hit my drivers door, and ran. Filed police report and insurance report, don't really have any confidence in the cops around here. Maybe, cause my dad is a retired San Diego cop and he doesn't either. Anyway, I'd say about a $1000 in damage, if the window would have been down, it would have broken the glass.

First I was sick, then pissed, now sick again, I really would like to catch this scumbag. The store wouldn't give me the names of the people that came in before me, and yes they have the names of everyone they sell to, it's that kind of store. Something about the privicy act, damn. Unfortunately, dad doesn't know anyone in that department at the cop shop anymore, been retired too long.

So wait and see, and see about getting door fixed. What I'm thinking is get one of those paintless dent guys to work it before final surfacing and paint, I do have some of the orginal paint left, so painting is the easy part, tho a shop won't use the paint, it's single stage gloss PPG Delstar, you can't even buy it anymore in L A and the shops down here won't shoot it.

Probably better that the store didn't give me any names, I might have ended up in jail. Damn

BAH!

Hat something similar happen to me while my wife had the 911 parked behind the gym a couple of months ago. At the same time a CAR SHOW was going on so she had to park on a residential street which shouldn't have been a big deal. Someone hit the SC right behind the driver's door in front of the rear wheel leaving a nice big dent. No note of course, filed a police report and they did do some effort in investigating it but because the damage was not too much and likely didn't damage the other car or truck at all they won't find the other car in the shop anywhere.

So; I'm out the deductible and 20% of a car rental while it gets fixed.

The damage I can forgive very easily, it's just a car. The irresponsibility of not leaving a note I cannot nearly as easily.

Your situation is much worse than mine; a 6!
