Well, to make a long story short- someone hit my car while leaving from the parking lot . Fortunately, a witness left me a note of the hit-n-run, notified the store's security and provided me with the persons car and license plate info. Hope to get this fixed soon, it's a pain to see...

You are very lucky that you have all that information. It's rare.

Good luck with the fix

I finished my Christmas shopping last month to avoid the rush.

Sorry. It's PITA, went through it but at least someone witnessed it and was nice enough to leave a note. Hit & Run charges are not good from what I read.

Good luck.

Sorry to hear about your incident. Thank goodness for nice strangers, huh?

I watched a commercial vehicle smack a new Dodge yesterday outside my office. He just walked off. When my coworker confronted him, he said "Well, I didn't hit it THAT hard!" Shheeeshhh! Some peoples kids man!!!!

Hope that guy pays out the a## to fix your car.

Feliz Navidad!

I'm scared, I'm about to go do my last minute shopping as I type this.

I'm usually picky about my parking spot... but since there will be no parking I kinda gotta take what I get, I don't know about that now...

Wow...pretty bad damage there.

You're very fortunate that a witness gave you details about the entire thing. Now the person at fault will pay...big time...especially for a hit and run.

Good luck with this.

I just found out my rear bumper/fender got squished in a bit and today's car wash revealed a bit of a scuff not sure if it was from Ontario Mills Mall or the fiancee's damn neighbors backing into it while i was out shopping using the other car .....

Would it help mentioning to the other person's insurance that their insured client hit and run? I hope the cops write them a ticket.bud

Sorry about this, man. Insurance will cover you but just be careful about the color. It may not be that noticeable on the front quater panel but my rear bumper cover got dinged the same way when I had 300 km on the car and I spent 2 months getting the "right" variation of Precision Grey to match my car, 4 paint jobs. Real PITA. But if the color doesn't match, be picky and push the body shop.CW
