Hit and Run

[caputo9]

Hi guys
Just thought id ask you all if you've ever experienced of someone hitting your car and running away?
Ive been driving for exactly one week now and someone has already hit and run my car twice and i am extremely annoyed.

Over the weekend someone pushed a trolley into my left rear door and quarter panel leaving a few small scratches, and yesterday someone turned across my front left quarter panel and part of my bumper leaving scratches and pushing it out of alignment.

I am very angry with this and plan on attempting to polish it out when Adelaide's weather decides to cool down being the hottest day on earth at the moment.

Money is tight so it annoys me more that i can't get it fixed properly asap but I'm going to save up a bit more and getting a few extra parts before i send it to get fixed.

Cheers Nathan

Trolley and car park damage is a way of life for a daily driven car unfortunately. I've copped plenty of chips, bumper damage etc from similar.
What's sad is other people just don't care, or don't even notice what they have done.

Check out cars you park next to, if they look a mess generally the owner hasn't cared or them, which will mean they aren't going to care the slightest for yours either. Normally I park else where or at a far corner of a arpark in hope someone won't park near me

i always do :/
It saddens me to think why someone would try and push a trolley between two cars when theres clearly not enough room.
I'm really annoyed about my front bumper though because it happened whilst parked on the street and no other cars were to be seen.

It sucks especially if you happen to be sitting in your car watching someone else park next to you. 9/10 they’ll be in a 4x4 and go super close to give you a heart attack. if they haven’t done that then they’ll open the doors up to finish it off !!

i know its terrible aint it.
but at least if you are sitting in the car at the time you get them to pay for the damage!

when they drive off theres no record of it even happening and you have to fix it out of pocket... my pocket is already empty

Insert Pulp Fiction Here:

Lance:
Still got your Malibu?

Vincent:
Aw, man. You know what some ****er did the other day?

Lance:
What?

Vincent:
****ing keyed it.

Lance:
Oh, man, that's ****ed up.

Vincent:
Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some ****less piece of **** ****ed with it.

Lance:
They should be ****ing killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.

Vincent:
Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that ******* doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it.

Lance:
What a ****er!

Vincent:
What's more chicken**** than ****ing with a man's automobile? I mean, don't **** with another man's vehicle.

Lance:
You don't do it.

Vincent:
It's just against the rules.

People are arseholes. Sadly there isn't much that can be done other that to try and be careful where you park. I try and park in end spots or ones with poles on one side or some other form of gap/protection. Even then I tend to park as far to one side as possible in these spaces to try and leave as much space as possible between me although that inevitably needs to the arsehat who parks next to me parking over the bloody line on my side anyway

My favourite parking spot at the train station is when I can get between one car reversed in and one straight in with both drivers doors on the outside. That way there is a decent chance that the driver is alone and doesn't open a door next to my car...

Plan B is to start walking everywhere and only drive on the weekend... but that isn't happening.

End of story haha..

I'm finding it rather difficult to comprehend how i got hit whilst parked on the street at my mates house
The street can fit 4 cars across it, it has only 3 houses in the street and is never busy. Why Me?

The guy also scratched the s*** out of my mirror which i only noticed this morning

lol @ Hawk with that quote...so true.

I had someones child swng open there back door onto my wifes Bora. I heard the bang and saw the kid get out (i was on the other side of the car park) by the time i got there the guy and his son had gon (was at local swimmin gpool) but unlucky for them they were arriving so still parked next to our car. I took many pictures, even went back into the pool to find them but couldn't . I left a note on there car.
Because I had his rego and took lots of photos my insurace processed the claim againist him. Result.

Still, sucks ass when you don't see who does it

Just today I was sitting in my Navara ute at the St Marys Village shopping centre , when a women next to me returned to her car with a trolley , She unloaded her groceries and just left the trolley at the back of her car and was about to hop in when I opened my door and shouted at her to return the trolley to the trolley bay which was next to her car ,She just totally ignored me and hopped in her car and drove off, And that my friends is the problem some people just don't give a rats .

Yes not good I always laugh at the insurance ad on TV with the car in the far away area of the car park.
