On Aug. 10, between the hours of 2 and 3 p.m., our car, a 2003 silver Park Avenue Buick, was parked in the parking lot at 1522 W. Sixth Ave. I was in the beauty shop. There are other businesses that use the same parking lot.
I was parked in the north space among the east parking spaces, facing northwest. It was a very hot afternoon. When I walked back to the car, I was facing the front of the car. There was a car parked on the driver’s side and one on the other side, where there is no parking space. I came directly home and parked the car in our driveway.
On Saturday morning, I left the house and the first thing I saw was that someone had scrapped the front fender on the driver’s side of the car. The beauty shop was the only place I had been!
Anyone can have an accident and you knew when you hit our car, So why couldn’t you have the courtesy to admit what you did? How would you like it if someone damaged your car and ran off without telling you?
It has cost us time getting estimates, reporting to the insurance company, trying to report it to the police (they didn’t make a report because they said it was on private property), driving a damaged car and then the big ones — having to pay our deductible and being without our car for three days while it was being repaired.
