Someone hit my M3

So for the past two months since I got the car I've been parking in the far out spots in parking lots. Wednesday, I have to park on the street downtown...nose in, side by side. I notice a dark pickup truck parked beside me and see that he's got plenty of room to back out. Off I go to my errand. Come back. Pickup truck is gone and my rear bumper is now semi-detached from the back of the car. No note of course. WTF What a way to start Thanksgiving break.

True, many stores have cameras in the parking lot, be sure to report the incident to the store where you were shopping.

You know what I started doing. When I see someone is about to park close to me, and I have this hunch that they are going to hit my car, I would stand there and stare at them; just to fudging tells them: you hit my car, I am going to rip you a new one.
Sorry about your loss.

That sucks ass.

I know its kinda paranoid, but I've meorized plates before in situations where I am forced to park in a risky fashion, especially when its near an SUV, pickup or minivan. Never had to use it, but I figure its worth the minute to check and make a mental note.

Karma does exist, so don't worry about the person who did this. It will get back to them. Just contact your insurance carrier and tell them what happened. Order a new bumper and get it painted by an exceptional body shop. Good luck and enjoy the Holiday despite this irritating event.

people who hit cars and dont leave a note are miserable. Sorry to hear about your car man....happened all the time to me when I was at school..people would open their car doors and smash the sides of my car without leaving a note or anything ...really sucks.

Good luck with getting it fixed man.

People like these should have their entire families shipped to Somalia and sold as sex slaves.
