Im just kidding guys....



I walked out to my car like this. I went to go see a movie with this chick and i get to my car and see a note on the windshield but figured it was advertising. Luckily i read it, the note said "hey i saw your car get bumped in the parking lot and it was a hit and run by a elderly lady" He wrote down his cell number and his name as well as her car make, color and license info.

What do i do?


Im calling my car insurance company ASAP tomorrow and should i call and make a police report?

Definitely file the police report and let your insurance know everything about what happened. Regardless if it was literally an accident or not, there is vehicle damage and people of elderly age I don't feel should be exempt.

My grandfather was in an accident in which his vehicle was out of control and his transmission was slipping between drive and reverse and he damaged two vehicles while getting out of a driveway. He stayed though and exchanged all the info himself.

A few years back my parents and I were at a restaurant and we witnessed a very elderly man hit and scratch my mom's rear bumper and just took off. Wasn't able to get their info though in time...

Damn man. I hate hit and runs.. At least someone was nice enough to jot down the info of the person who hit you. Call up your insurance and give them that info and see what they do. Hope everything works out man.

I will do that. When i get this replaced, what do you guys think of painting the little red reflectors at the bottom white. Just an idea and just thought of it when taking the pics.

You make the claim cause a hit and run is ILLEGAL. Have the old lady pay for it then see if the witness was a hot chick and take her out on a date!

It's good to hear that there are "Good" people out there these days willing to "do the right thing" and offer a helping hand. Glad you have all the info about the hit and run.

You should file a police report and report it to your insurance company ASAP.

Think twice before making a police report - I'd rather pay $300 to repaint the bumper than end up with a 'Rear Collision' in the carfax report.
