Those smudges at the top right might be from the culprit's hand as he bent down to check the damage. Run those prints!

thats why I park mine far away from everyone or near cars just as nice as ours... People with our kind of cars have that kind of mutual respect. People driving Hyundais and Civics around dont give two bits.

New development on this. Basically. I was wrong about it happening at the restaurant. But I found the culprit. Updates coming soon.

So recently I noticed a car in my school's parking lot. And just out of suspicion, I broke out the tape measure.










As I had suspected, the measurements are pretty exact. So I confronted the owner. She admitted to having hit my car, and seeing as it was an accident, I decided to cut her some slack, and I decided to have her pay for a good fraction of the damages, while I pay out of my pocket for the rest. The quote I received for the damages was below my $500 deductible anyways, so in a way, I guess it worked out in the end. Hooray for investigation skills!

its good you took it a step further. I actually have cameras where I live so I usually check them out. I had an oil truck driver spill oil on my car, and the oil somehow stuck on the car and got into the inside and made a big mess. I called the oil company and told them, they blew me off so I had my brother who is a DA, go to their site and hand them the tape. They sent a check for $500. All I needed to do was wax the car lol but Ill take it

Well that's the thing. I THOUGHT instinctively that the car that backed out hit my car, because it was as that car left that I first noticed the damage. Human instinct and error I suppose.

But yeah, I'm definitely glad to have found out and to have worked something out. I'll definitely sleep a little better at night. But! I'm definitely parking my car farther away from any Jeeps/SUVs. I just said definitely three times. I need to stop using that word. -shudder-

lol way to go!

how did you confront her? Im surprised that she admitted it...I would have question why she didnt leave a not or something if she knew that she hit someone. Im not one to confront someone though
