I Hate People, Hit & Run
 

I went fishing this morning so the wife took the truck and went to the grocery store. Anyways she drove up to the lake and decided to tell me what had happened. She went to the grocery store this morning and got a page over the intercom about a red dodge with my plate's sitting in the middle of the parking lot drive way. She told me she parked out away from everyone, like we always do. She went out and sure enough there it was up against the curb. She said she left it in gear but forgot to set the parking brake. So I get to looking and some asshole side swiped the front of the bumper. white paint on the bumper, chunks out of painted plastic trim on the bumper! :mad: :a:Then I get looking a little more and find a long, big, black scratch on the (R) rear fender! What is it with :edit: people! I work hard to have nice things and then some F%&* stick comes by and ruins it!

From what I see, this is what happened. The idiot was towing a trailer and short cut the turn, hit the truck and forced the truck back into the driveway. The black scratch is probably a shopping cart, unsure on that though. IF the parking brake would have been set, it would have been worse!

Sorry for the rant! I just needed to vent! :a:

That would definetly add a new dimension to the Road Rage book for me!!

What kind of repairs are going to be needed?

That really sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some people just don't care about other peoples property.....

:madd:

Sorry Man that Sucks....Somebody needs to get beat down for that one

That sucks I would invest in an alarm with a pager. Then it would of attracted some attention maybe someone would of gotten a plate #.

I don't suppose the Store has a video surveillance of the parking lot? Might be kinda usefull for pulling a plate off the truck or trailer for a Felony Hit and Run Charge, or perhaps a personal visit. . . . . .

Felony hit and run would require someone to have been physically hurt, in this case Tye was not around to physically hurt them!

I just got back from the store where it happened. No camera's, yet! Talked to the store manager, apparently these kinda things have been getting more frequent as of late.

I got the white & black paint rub off, out. Bumper polished out. I dabbed some touch-up paint into the missing chunks on the bumper cover (looks like poo poo). We got an outfit that comes through every week @ work, that specializes in fixing stuff like this. So I'll have them take a look @ it and let me know how much, to try and fix. If not, then I'll buy a new cover and have it painted. I got a body shop that will paint it for nuttin. So we'll see.

It's just the hole principal of the hole matter. I understand accidents happen, but at least leave a note! I would have been less pissed off.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune,seems like there are assh---'s like that everywhere.
