Default Hit & Run :cry:




Happened 3/19/09, while passing by on my work car saw it. It was parked by the medical office and they have a camera that's pointing right at my car. I hope that the office will help me find that moron.

I hope they help you too. Same sort of thing happened to me as well, but it was a transport truck that did it. Ripped about a 10" hole in my bumper. He didn't even know he did it.

Thanks for support guys. On monday I'm going to talk to the office's boss and ask him for a tape recording of that day. I did the police report as soon as I saw the damage. I hope that he will help me and give me that tape, hell I'll even pay for it. Right now it's about the principal and not the money.

That doesn't look too bad at all. Most of it will prob rub out with Autosol metal polisher or something of that kind. Best of luck with the video.

Btw, is the parking sensor affected?

lol....i know your probably just trying to lift his spirits...you have to be kidding though right? It's clear down to the plastic in several spots. And the sensor, don't those things get knocked out from rock chips and over spray? I'm sure it's dead.
