I walk out to my car this morning and as I'm walking out I notice there isn't an orange piece at the corner lense......then as I get closer I see someone has backed into the driver's side corner lense, busted it all to hell, bent the very end of the pointy fender, and scuffed the top of the bumper.
Well....at this point I was about ready to kill someone. I get up to the car and see something on my windshield. It was a note from a neighbor. He said he heard my alarm go off and came out and saw that someone had hit it. Well apparently there was a guy out there that saw the whole thing happen and wrote down there license number.
The neighbor that saw this happen came out in the morning. He probably heard me beep my alarm, or possible the large quanities of profanity coming out my mouth. He said basically what I posted above....and said it looked like a white explorer, and that it was parked right down a few parking spots. We went and took a look at it. Right rear bumper had scuff & paint marks on it. I took pictures of the bumper as well as the license plate. I also took pictures of my car and everything all fubared.
I called the guy who saw it. He said his wife has his car and the plate # is in there. So he's going to probably call me back later this afternoon. Hopefully it will confirm with the number I have on the white explorer.
The only good thing about this is it's the same fender that has the chip in it, so when I get this fixed, the chip will be fixed, and the body shop won't have to eat the cost.
I'm not sure if I should try and contact the individual myself. Not sure how I can do that. Other then put a note on their car, if I see it. I've thought about going to the property management and asking them to look in their records and I'd write up a note and they can put it on this person's door.....because they probably won't give me that info.
Or if I should just go straight to the police. I will probably stop by the police station today and get the "blue" form as they like to call it here in texas, and also ask the police officers' their opinion on what I should do.
Technically what happened is a hit & run, and I have the info and documentation to put their ass in a sling BIG TIME!! Since technically a hit & run is a felony......
We'll see....I need to confirm the plate # and see what sort of response I get back from the officers and my realty office.
Accidents do happen.....but taking off without letting someone know is absolutely wrong!
I've had more shit happen to this car in the past year then it has seen its entire life!!!!
I need a f@#ing garage, and I need to just park it in there and not drive it on a daily basis.
On a side note....the neighbor that heard the alarm. They have a 91 legacy wagon. It's in pretty bad shape cosmetically.....not sure on the running gear and such.....but he's mentioned to me before that they're looking to get rid of it, and asked if I wanted it as a parts car. If everything was mechanically sound.....I'd probably drive the sucker and leave mine parked in a safe place.......
Not to be deragotory towards any particular sex.....but from what my neighbor and the witness said.....the driver was a woman

Anyway....I'm a little perturbed.....and don't want to be working right now........
