Morons. Sure, that part would be hidden from cursory view, but they sure as hell must have noticed they hit something hard enough that they should take a look. I'd be surprised if they couldn't feel it when driving either. Amazing the bead still sealed.
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

You'd think the car would ride a little funny.
A girl who parked next to me had that on the outside of her wheel. I let her know and she said it's been like that for months. Yikes, I'll make sure I stay far from her on the highway.

Re: how could you not notice this?
Wow! Makes me miss my days in the shop... When a customer brought a '91 Legacy wagon into the shop for an oil change and no oil came out when the drainplug was removed...needless to say, the resulting spun bearing was how I got that (MY) wagon!

Re: how could you not notice this?
Its on the side of the wheel that you never see. And if the driver was inebriated enough, they might not have noticed.
