They don't make em like they used to...
« on: August 19, 2012, 08:04:10 am »
So I got side swiped Friday and the car was parked two cars ahead of me after. I work on property so my truck never moved all day. after the person hit me they parked their car and left... after waiting two hours the cops never came, so I left. So pissed!

That's bold!  Scraping your truck that bad and parking in front of you?  I commend you though.  If it were me, I don't think I could have just left the scene without taking out some frustration on the other car.
Sorry to hear about the run-in

I would have waited for the cops. You could have always told him you thought the guy was coming out and you were worried if it might escalate. They would have got their buts there then!

ok, that is just sad. I don't know what I would do if they had hit my c10. Now my F350 I would have laughed and tapped them a good one with it as I left.

Update....
dude hit a person (a body) just before he hit my truck. Just around the corner from where he hit my truck. Wth! I got in contact with the person who drives the car and they didn't want to give me the insurance info. They want to settle out of court... Told them they have to pay by Friday... If they don't things will get messy if I can't find a good lawyer

since there was a police report on the pedestrian hit this will help your case

Good, I hope they throw the book at 'em for the DUI stuff.  I commend your patience, more self control than I could've had.
