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

The insurance adjuster came over, took a look at the car, I think they were as sick as I was. Anyway, to make a long story short, they will cover all the repairs and I can take her to the shop I wanted, West Coast Specialties, they do all the repairs for Pioneer Porsche. I've had work done by them before, and I was very satisfied. So that parts being taken care of, she's now scheduled for repairs to start on the 31st. I think the door is beyond by skill level, so this is the best route.

Called the cops, they won't even talk to me for another 10 days, pretty much what I expected, the cops will just blow it off. So that means I revert to my major pain in the ass personality with authority figures. I really don't give a damn, they're paid to do a job, my job will be to ensure they do. Putting fresh batteries in my voice activated tape recorder. It's worked before with government employees that tried to blow me off, maybe it'll work again, if nothing else it gets their attention. What the hell, I'm retired, got nothing better to do.

Wish me luck, later Don
