I was going to the grocery store and I was stopped at a red light, waiting to make a right turn, and someone rear-ended me. I got out to look at the damage (only minor scratches on my bumper, thank God no one was hurt)....and I told the other driver, "We should call the cops and report this". She PULLED A U-TURN and hauled butt!! I was shaking and crying and I'm still upset.

I worked my tail off (literally!) to be able to afford, love, and take care of that car, and some idiot has to go and do something like this.


I know that there are a lot of people out there who are honest and good...and there are a lot of them here on MFP. Thanks guys for letting me vent.

    Oh no!! I'm so sorry!! Were you able to get a liscence plate #? Maybe you could report it that way. Last year someone hit the back of my car when it was parked, but I wasn't there to see it. Luckily for me, my car is a POS anyway. :tongue:

    Any red light cameras or other security cameras in the area that may have caught it? Hit and runs are a big deal, legally speaking.

    In Virginia, this would be a felony if the damage to your car was over $1000. But your insurance company will cover you if you have comprehensive coverage, minus your deductible, even if you can't find the moron who hit you.

    I agree with one of the prior commenters: if this was a public space that might have a security camera, the other driver might be captured on video.

    You need to give the police all the details you have while your mind is still fresh.

    I think she lives somewhere nearby...the State Trooper who came to write the report said that he'd canvass the neighborhood to see if he could find the vehicle. I tried to get her tag # but it was too dark to see the tag :frown: and she left out of there like a bat out of hell.

    All I can say is....karma is a b****.

    She better hope the State Trooper finds her before I do. She better give her :heart: to Jesus because her (_|_) will belong to me!

    oooh, I hope they catch her! what's stupid is it was minor scratches, but fleeing is gonna get her into so much trouble.

    a couple of months ago I walked to my car after work to find a bunch of scratches on the back drivers side. someone had hit me while I was at work. :noway: I have to pay $500 to get it fixed! no wonder the bastich didn't leave a note. :grumble:

    OMG! That's awful! I had my car parked at work (Remember this Kelly??? LOL) and some guy with his pals ran into the side of my car and destroyed it and took off!!! I forget all that happened, but I think it was totaled or almost totalled? Anyway...That bites!
