Angry Someone decided to hit-and-run my car....

So i was heading out of town and stopped at a gas station in Refugio, Tx to use the restroom... left the gas station and got to my destination. Little did i know, someone hit the right rear of my car at the gas station! The gas station also does not have surveillance in the area i parked... my suggestion to everyone... PARK AT THE PUMPS TO ENSURE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE. Learned my lesson on that.

It's frustrating and enrages me, i go out of my way to park away from any cars and this happens... i know it could be worse, but now i have to pay $250 (my deductible) to get this fixed...

Yeah I just cant believe no one told me anything (theyre were people in the parking lot).

Since theyre likely going to have to re-paint the area, should i be worried where i take it; it's a leased car, so should i just take it to Lexus to make sure everything gets back to perfect?

Sorry for your bad luck. Sometimes there is nothing you can do about the situation. Hope you get it fixed soon.

I have to admit, I backed into a Mercedes when I had bought my '04 RX. For some reason, I just didn't use the backup camera. Heard a LOUD crunch. I sent my son into the store to find the person. As my son went in, the man came out and I confessed to him I hit his car and asked him what he wanted to do. He said, because I actually told him and didn't run off, he said, go, and I'll just report a hit and run. He thanked me for waiting and telling him. Sure made ME feel better because people who take off are cowards. I know if it happened to me, I would like the person to wait or leave a note.
Sorry there are so many a-holes out there.
BTW, there was $500 damage that I did to my car.....his was worse.
