Default HIT and RUN,,,,,,but


Stopped at the grocery store, parked way at the far end of the parking lot where no no other cars were parked, so me and the wifey run inside to grab some beverages. We are walking out of the store and see an SUV sitting at the front of my car. So we hurry our pace to see what they are looking at. Someone from about 75 feet across the parking lot backed their camry into my car !! And LEFT!! BUT fortunately a lady and her daughter saw what happened and drove after them and got their plate number.

Thats a load of BS! Camry needs to be set on fire... Get the plates, turn them in and press charges for the repairs.

Sorry that it happened, I hope you don't have to pay for the repairs.

You had a guardian angel looking out for you today. Well sorta. Its too bad the G.A. didn't keep the culprit from hitting you altogether. But, 9 times out of 10 the results are different (Ask me how I know). You just return to your car, jaw dropped, to see the damage.

At the very least, I'd be sending mother and daughter a bouquet of flowers and maybe a certificate for a dinner.

People suck.
I think that you ought to be able to buy a stamp to kill people...like a duck or deer stamp...one per year for starters. Then, you should be able to advertise that you have an unused stamp. Maybe people would have to start thinking about NOT pissing off other people if there was a possibility that it would be used on them...

Hope you are successful at pressing charges against them and then collecting for the damages. Too bad you can't take a baseball bat to their heads as part of the punishment.

Those are some crazy looking marks for a Camry! Looks like didn't just hit your car, but ran up and over it!.....like marks from suspension or something...yikes.

The obvious thing is that I can't even imagine that they can say "Oh my, I just didn't feel a thing....I had no idea". BS.

Good luck man.....keep us updated.

Rare indeed...it's nice to see the human condition hasn't totally deteriorated, and there are people who still have morals and are willing to give a hand.
