Are you the culprit?

Have you ever opened your car door and dinged the side of a car parked beside you then left without leaving your contact info?

theia · 08-25-2006, 05:33 PM

No, because I would want to be treated the same if someone pranged my car...and it usually happens that people do tell me.

But it was a minor one. If it were bad, or if someone had seen me, I would have stopped and left a note.

No. My car did once roll into a Jaguar. But it didn't even make a scratch, let alone a dent. I was impressed with the jag.

Not I
and again when the girls were young I was adamant they were careful, I hate when it happens to me

About ten years ago a young couple knocked on my door and apologised for hitting and damaging the wing mirror of my car which was parked outside. They could so easily have driven on, I wouldn't have known who had done it. They asked me to get a quote and to send it on to them. They then sent me a cheque for the cost. I think that made me more determined to tell someone if I had damaged their car. But yes, I have had those litttle bumps and scrapes on the car which no=one has told me about.

I once saw someone in a carpark hit another car. The driver got out, shrugged shamefacedly at me and my friends, took out his driver's licence and insurance papers, wrote a note and carefully placed it under the windscreen wiper of the dented car, waved at us and drove off. The note merely read "Have a nice day"! Luckily someone got the bastard's rego number.
