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

Thanks guys, I'm still sick about it. Thanks for the offer of the door, don't have a answer about the door yet, but if I need it, I'll let you know, ok.

I think the door can be repaired, the trick will be to not strech the metal when it gets pushed out. That's why I'm thinking of calling one of those paintless dent guys I used before, they're better at that than I am.

Good idea about the video camera's, unfortunatly those parking spots aren't covered at the hospital pharmacy. Think I'll find another pharmacy. I've already talked with them, told them about the police report. I'll give the cops another day, then start bugging them. I want this scumbag busted.

My insurance company called, they're coming over tomorrow, so later on that.

I have a spare 75 914 in the attic with doors. The drivers door needs a new window. Other than that, it's in pretty good shape, not sure about the window mechanicals.

Is door glass still available? Are the windows interchangeable?

I don't know if the cops are going to want to see it before I start on the repairs, but I took plenty of pictures.

Anyway, that's where it's at, Later,
Don
