So last week I went on a road trip with my buddy out to the west coast. Our final destination was Salt Spring Island. We drove out in my car that I had purchased 3 weeks earlier.
On tuesday night we pulled into the beer store to buy some beers for the night. To the right of my car, a couple of parking spots over was an old moped/scooter. This thing didnt have a muffler on it, and was the loudest pos you have ever heard in your life, and that is when it is just idling. When we got into the store, the guy who was riding the moped was just paying for his beer and was leaving. The guy at the counter mentioned something to us about his abnormally loud moped, because the guy was in there basically every day.
So me and my friend are at the back of the store at the beer fridge, when we hear this thing start up. All I can say is wow. A couple of seconds later my car alarm goes off. I figure it is because this thing is so loud. So I poke my head around the corner of the isle, and the guy on his moped is sitting there looking at me. Then he takes off pretty quick. I think nothing of it, until the guy at the front counter says he thinks the guy just hit my car because my side mirror was bent back. So me and my buddy run out of the store to find the side of my car scratched to shit.
To make a longer story short, one guy witnessed the whole thing, security tapes got this a$$ on video, got his plates. RCMP came, wrote accident report, and finally found the guy a week later. He got a nice big ticket for hit and run, and who knows what else.
For all of you that have been hit and run with no idea who did it or what happened, sometimes there can be a happy ending to it. Altought I still have to go to the hastle of getting the car fixed, at least it is not coming out of my pocket.
