It can be even worse, or more disappointing rather. Years ago when we were living in MD our car was parked on the street in front of our house and our neighbor's visiting friend hit it as he was backing out of their driveway. He never reached out to us voluntarily. We also know this person but not as well as our neighbor. Of course was upset about our car being damaged but even more disappointed in the man who basically hit and ran. We had thought better of them prior.

Messed up already damaged car, no note

Everyone else note plus free buff job on us.


You're a horrible person and I hope your car gets damaged by the same type of person as you.

That's not for you to determine.


I would also not leave a note if I saw no damage. Unfortunately some people out there would take advantage of the situation and claim damage that wasn’t there or wasn’t my fault.


How do you know there is no damage? I was rear ended in DC. WE both stopped, the guy was apologetic. My bumper looked totally fine. I took it to the shop and sure enough it had to be replaced. I saw the damage once they took the bumper off. You are not able to assess the damage in 3 seconds and determine it's nothing.


You mean the guy who makes money replacing bumpers told you it needed replacing? You don’t say!


He showed me the bumper, which I already said and you choose to ignore because you're a POS who doesn't want to pay for the damage you caused.

That’s unlikely to happen in a parking lot


No, it's not. Stop being a terrible person.

I chased her down the street barefoot and in my sports bra, and got her license plate and called the police. She came back twice to drive by and look at my car for damage. Then she came back and stayed and by that time the police had arrived. She had insurance but I think panicked.
At any rate, the damage (not extremely evident but you could tell) came to $5270. I had a rental for four weeks until the part came in and the repairs could be done. I was PISSED as hell. Inconvenient and she should have stopped right then and there.
Very hard to then teach my class as I could see what was transpiring outside.


Suuure!

It is not a crime to be poor.

And not everyone can afford insurance you know.

For those saying it's no big deal, it's happened to me three times for total our of pocket of around $14-1500 plus time and inconvenience. It would be way more now with inflation.

25 years ago dent cost $950

20+ years ago smashed tail light was around $250

7-8 years ago someone broke our side mirror off. That was around $250 getting the part at a junkyard. Would have been way more to buy it new.

If the person who collided with the parked car does not have insurance, does anyone seriously expect them to leave a note?


Get real, people.
