I am sick and tired of the cowards that hit and run people.
This weekend, I was parked in front of my gf's house and noticed damage to my front bumper. The damage on my front bumper is from a hitch off of the truck that was parked in front of me. I even measured the height of the hitch and the damage on my vehicle and it matched up exact. Looking closer at his hitch, I also noticed that the paint chipped off from my bumper was on his hitch.
Immediately after figuring out the neighbour douchebag that owns the Tacoma, I confronted him about the damage his truck did to my car. He denied everything and claimed that his daughters car was parked between ours the night previous in which I know fact because i hadn't even moved my car yet. I laughed when he told me that his daughter's car was there seeing as she was 13 and we had never seen a small silver car out front before.
I called the non-emergency police line and explained to them my situation and they told me to wait at the scene until an officer could come check it out. A cop showed up and I explained to them the situation and the police told me that there was nothing that they could do about this because there was no proof that it was the exact vehicle even though, the car had not moved since the incident and there was evidence on his hitch.
I think this is complete bullshit because now if I go through insurance to fix the damage, my deductible is $1000.00 and it is going to cost about $1200.00 to replace. That douchebag gets to walk away without coughing over the dough for my bumper. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do about this?
Thanks
