View Full Version : Asshole neighbour door dinged my car, H&R? Vandalism?

So i live in a condo my asshole parking neighbor always parks like a jackass, my wife parked well within the lines, straight, and center (if anything she parks on the line on the other side because the next car over has an end lot which is larger than average so we all squeeze over a bit and everybody has lots of room)..
Her car alarm went off, warning shot alarm, so i ran out to see what was going on, i see the guy getting in to his car and leaving, i didn't want to confront him because i thought maybe it was an innocent butt rub or something, but the was definitely NOT the case, after he left i went to investigate and found this...

I am not hugely worried about having the car repaired, its not like its a show car or anything, but i do want to teach this asshole that he cant do this and get away with it, very least i want the police to pay him a visit.

What do i report this as, H&R? Vandalism? other?

If that paint is a good match to your neighbours, you would have a case with the CPS. Call the non-emergency line.

While you didnt see it, you essentially heard the event since the alarm went on as he left his stall.

based on what i saw when i ran out, him and his spouse on that side of the car, my assumption is, she was carrying the baby in the carseat, she passes it to him to put in the back sear (pontiac G6 coupe, not a fun task) he opens the door puts the baby in the back, has to climb in to strap it in properly, expected her to hold the door, she doesn't wind blows the door on his leg/foot, he throws a pissy fit and donkey kicks the door in to my car.

My fat fuck neighbor parks the same way next to me. 300+ lbs. glad I'm moving next month. Tempted to park closest on his side so he can't even get into his suv. I park all the way over to give him room and he also dinged me at least once.

so the cops came by, basically said i was wasting their time and made me feel like the disrespectful one

They came and got me, went and looked at the car, the rubbed off some of the paint, then went and got the other chick, she comes out firing her mouth "why couldn't you just come talk to me? why'd you have to get them?" blah blah, i basically just said "Why couldn't you come talk to me? its not like you didn't know it happened" then she says her kid, let the car door swing open in the wind, complete lie, but the cops were on her side right from the start, wouldn't let me say 2 words but let her blab on... shes just ranting, "go get 3 quotes and i'll pay the lowest, if you go through insurance i'll be pissed" waa waa, like shes the victim here...

Honestly it wasn't about money, its about respect, these 2 have been disrespectful since they moved in here about 8 months ago, the one time some guy went through and smashed windows and stole stuff from cars, their car was hit, ours weren't, but instead of grabbing a vacuum or something to clean the glass out of his car, he just flinged it all over in to our parking spot, it never got cleaned up until they did the parking lot sweeping... just totally no respect.

They're the kind of trash where now i am worried about my other vehicles and possessions... i have security cameras on my house but i park like half a block away so i cant have security out there.

If she's serious about paying to get it fixed then fine, but I'd give her a week at most to pay up before going through insurance

Yep, once again, people trying to get away with shit. It doesnt fucking matter if your kid did it, your dog did it, the wind did it. You damaged somebody elses property. Plain and simple.

This is one of my biggest issues with people these days, this engrained refusal to accept responsibility for ones actions. Own up for fuck sakes.

Sounds like they are what fits in my "trashy people" profile tho, which basically to me means zero fucks given. They are the last to own up for anything, and the first to cry when something hapens to them.

There should be more than enough to get her charged with hit and run. She admits she knew that damage was caused. (especially since the car alarm went off) she then proceeds to drive away. without informing you or leaving info...


"why couldn't you just come talk to me? is her admitting that she didn't provide any info. she caused the damage its her responsibility to inform.

With the paint transfer match and you being a witness should be more than enough proof for a simple charge.


If there as big of a POS as your making them out to be I would totally put in a claim against her insurance. Your doing her a favor by accepting cash.

You probably shouldve at least asked them first imo. Yeah they didnt own up right away but by calling the cops right away you just escalated this huge. If they were of normal being than do as you please but the fact theyre trashy would make me worry all the time about future vandalism. And I would wait and see if they pay before you just go through insurance, you will be teaching yourself a hard lesson because i can almost guarantee you they will make it way worse for you. Very tough call for sure.

Very tough call for sure. She was psycho enough with the cops there, i bet without them 1 of 2 things would have happened:
1) they wouldn't even answer the door
2) she'd have been twice as psycho and not even heard me out

I agree though, i wont be calling insurance unless its a last resort, i still have to live next door to them.

If she would have left a note or found you and owned up to it, yeah give her the chance to pay out of pocket. From everything you've just said, I get the impression she'll fuck you (and not in the good way) if you try to deal with her out of pocket. She'll change her mind as soon as it's repaired or something to weasel out.

Give her the big middle finger for being such a raging c-word and go through insurance. Let her pay out the ass for the next few years (much more than the repair would have cost likely) as the price of being a dirtbag. If she says anything, let her know if she'd have come to you first like a decent human being, you'd have gladly worked with her.

If they're the trash they're made out to be, maybe invest in a front/rear dashcam for next time they fuck up, or if they try to retaliate.

05-10-2016, 11:36 AM
If you do want to give them a chance, make sure they pay you IN CASH before you pay for the repair yourself. If they can't do that, insurance.

They've been quite disrespectful since they moved in, they park in the visitor spaces like its their own spot because they are too good to park on the street, which is actually probably closer...
They had the window smashed in their car and the guy just swept all the glass out of his car in to our parking spot and left it there...
they park like complete jackasses, on the line, very crooked, or in other peoples spots...
i'm not one to bitch, but they need to grow up and learn a little respect.

I'd go through insurance as mentioned already.. My aunt's car got hit at a stop light and she's given the dude the chance to pay cash for the cheapest quote she got for the damage instead of going through insurance. Instead buddy wants to repair the damage himself and so far its turned into a huge hassle lol..

The problem with going through insurance is that it will piss her off, and she will probably find a way to more covertly cause damage to the vehicle.

It's not about being nice so much as it is to ensure he doesn't give her reason to cause more issues down the road.

Seriously though, I am 300lbs and I can get in and out of tight spots without ever dinging someones elses door. If I am close to another car I just wrap my fingers around the edge of my door before fully opening it so if it is going to come into contact with the vehicle beside me, my fingers stop it from hitting and I have never had an issue. WTF is wrong with people hey???

Just go through insurance. She'll still have the option to pay for it herself and not have to pay a deductible. You'll just have the insurance company documenting this so she can't back out after the work is done and refuse to pay for it.

I've done this before. Both parties have insurance involved, she paid the $800 bill, neither of us technically have a claim. Just something insurance companies do and not everyone knows this.

The only time I would ever not go through insurance is if the other party was someone I knew and trusted.

Thaco, what did you end up deciding to do? IMO, insurance seems like the best way to go about this.

With respect to the way the police handled things at your place, maybe it really was a waste of time but you talked to non-emerg first, and they thought it was enough to send someone out - so that's they're problem. Secondly on how they handled things, for some officers, stuff like this is boring and honestly just don't give a flying fuck.

When my Accord got broken into years ago and all my electrician tools were stolen, I went down to the nearest district office. The thieves had gotten in my prying open my passenger window. 2 or 3 really good finger prints were right on the glass! So I went down and showed them and it was painfully obvious he just didn't feel like doing anything.

I'm involved with another investigation regarding an online scam. Again it was obvious this guy just didn't care to be there. I had everything laid out as thoroughly as it is possible yet he didn't want any of it. 2 months later from when they came over, he asks me when my transaction statement was generated.

Bottom line, lots of great cops out there doing really great police work. Also, some really fucking lazy ones that are asked to do "the boring work" and really don't feel like it, so they don't.

Best of luck.

If both parties were normal people and lived in different areas then this route could work but in thacos situation this would just set himself up for more headache. He lives beside them and parks beside them. I would be willing to bet you any amount that if thaco went straight through insurance without talking to them first there would be way more trouble in the future.

You should get those quotes to fix and give them the chance but at the end of the day the damage was minimal to a car that wasnt in the best shape so maybe just let this go fwiw. Its not a good feeling to walk away when you're wronged but in this situation it might be worth it to avoid future hassle.

If you're really worried about having to live next to and see them every day I personally, if I was in this situation, let it go....trash will be trash.

At the end of the day, it's pretty minor and it's not like you're driving MaxBoost's car lol...is it really worth the potential of more headaches down the road? Is it really worth it escalating into something bigger and bigger.

I'd actually use it as a good opportunity to take the high road, just talk to them and say "I know it was an accident and you're probably pretty stressed with your kids, let's just forget about it..."

Sometimes you just have to pick your battles right...at the end of the day, you know they're trash and will probably always be trash. You win no matter what.

When you get a bit older than that you realize giving someone a free pass because you are too lazy to deal with it, or you fear consequences is pretty selfish and weak, and does nothing to benefit anyone, especially yourself. Sometimes a little push back goes a long ways. Sometimes you get your shit keyed.

However, what is almost guaranteed is that if you do nothing, nothing will change and the problem will continue to be a problem.


Plus, if you hit gutter trash with an at fault insurance claim, they may be priced out of owning a car, or living there. Their rates could potentially go up enough to be life altering. People like that usually live paycheck to paycheck spending every cent they have before they have it. 100 or 200 more per month on X is likely not in the budget.

I agree with this.

Don't piss them off any more than you have to. Don't teach them a lesson. It's hard to let go, but feuding with trash neighbors will just have you headed for more time/expense/hassle.

You think taking it to insurance won't start a feud with the neighbours?

Insurance or no insurance, they are not gonna like it. Going with insurance, you'll likely get your money. Not going with insurance, you may not get your money. It will drag on for a while at least. You tell them the cheapest quote is 500, they'll tell you that they'll fix it for you with a can of spray paint, blah, blah blah. If you are really worried, just let it go. Either way, you'll likely get more door dings. The only solution here is to either make them go away or you go away from them. You won't teach them any lesson.

Sometimes a little push back goes a long ways. Sometimes you get your shit keyed.

However, what is almost guaranteed is that if you do nothing, nothing will change and the problem will continue to be a problem.


Plus, if you hit gutter trash with an at fault insurance claim, they may be priced out of owning a car, or living there. Their rates could potentially go up enough to be life altering. People like that usually live paycheck to paycheck spending every cent they have before they have it. 100 or 200 more per month on X is likely not in the budget.

You know what, i change my take on this. Thaco should go and stand up for himself and go straight to insurance and file a claim. Its worth the risk if his cars get vandalised and they cause drama(because theyre literally next door to him), these trashy people could possibly be the .00001% that might get it and change their ways. It would be a pretty warm and fuzzy feeling to know you changed them thaco and protected future people from them

If for some reason insurance decided not to let them pay out of pocket for the $100 repair bill just imagine the carnage like zhao said. They would lose their car and home, no car or home means no friends because you wouldnt be able to drive to meet them and you wouldnt have a home for them to come too. They would probably have to move out of the city too because this would go viral and cause them too much stress

got my quote from Dilwari... $650... but its no big deal, anybody can just throw that cash out the window right?... at least that was the cops attitude anyway

Exactly. Take it to insurance. Why even take the chance to chase that person down to collect? Can't wait to see what she says about the $650 :rolleyes:

Different scenario, but there was this guy who wouldn't return my $200 deposit over a car sale that he ditched on. Kept dragging his feet over paying me back and even to this day only paid back half. I was hesitant to file a police report but the district office recommended me to after I called them to inquire. Filed a online police report and surprisingly the police was really cool about it and is chasing him for it. Over fucking $200! Point of the matter is, when it's usually up to you, the other party typically will be flakes. Gotta get insurance or police involved to actually get them serious.

Does your place face the parking spot? Just tell them you're now pointing a camera at the car from the house in case they want to try anything in the future, even if you don't. Or tell them you have a dash cam within the view of the side and rear windows. They sound ghetto enough to believe it haha

What's the dumbcunt have to say about that price?

I fully expect "Oh I'm not paying that, I have a cousin that can do it for $150"

Ouch, i thought it was just a paint scuff that could be buffed out. Makes that call even tougher now, at anything less than $200 id say drop it but thats a lot to just let slide. Good luck!

Just got the quote to show them its not as minor as they think.


actually thats my intent, but if she goes off the deep end then fuck her, i'll just walk away and call her insurance company.

Good luck! honestly it could probably be PDr'd for a couple hundred, guy at the body shop even said that, i told him i know, i dont want a cheap fix... likely wont get it fixed at all, just need a number to make the broad pee a little.

so i took the high road, and it went better than expected.

Went over and gave them the quote, and then told them, it wasnt about the money, it was about the principle....

They were very receptive, very apologetic, seemed genuine, and even went out and bought a nice flower and a $100 GC for us as an apology/thanks.

I'm satisfied, i think they learned from it, and i get a nice meal, and i don't have to stress about my cars or property being fucked up.... at least not by them.

That's not a bad outcome. If it truly was an older car and who cares about some minor body damage, then well played

:thumbsup: you have to admit that was the absolute best case scenario and you got it. Could you imagine if you went dick mode and went straight through insurance.

Getting flowers and a $100 GC to get out of paying for a $650 repair is the absolute best case scenario? I could be reading it wrong, but it didn't sound like OP is getting the car fixed on top of that.

Didn't sound like he wanted to ever get it fixed, was just appalled by the lack of respect

Its about RESPEK:D Thaco already said he wasnt too worried about the repair since it was an older car. From the start it sounded like he just wanted some acknowledgement from them that they caused damage and it looks like he got it so for him that was the best case. Now y'all finished or y'all done

You saved them $550 bucks lol. not really, it could have been PDR'd for a couple hundred at worst. I see it as an investment because if they stayed pissed, i'm sure they'd have cost me a lot more than the $650 and i wouldn't have been so lucky as to catch them next time. and they may have caused damage to something i actually cared about.
