She has the bush covering her dent?

Nice.

I told you it was a red SUV, OP. If she won't fess up to the damage, I'd offer to take her out, get her nice and drunk, then back-door her.

Be lucky it's just a dent. My car got stolen about 5 years ago. I went out for lunch and a little shopping with my wife, came back and my car was missing from the street, right in the middle of the day. I filled a police report, they came pretty quick but didn't do much besides file paper work. Long story short they find my car in an abandoned lot 25 miles away. It was towed and impounded at the most getto-ass place I've ever been to in my life. I get there to find my car completely striped, everything inside was gone. The car was already 15 years old so I considered it a complete loss. The people who worked there were rude unsympathetic assholes (especially this fat ugly bitch behind the counter) To add insult to injury I had to pay $500 to impound it, just to get rid of it. One of the worst days of my life.

About a month after this disaster getto-ass towing calls me up saying I have to drive down there and sign some papers, I told them to call me back. I checked my documents, called a few people and came to the realization I owe them nothing. They call back, I told them I don't own the car anymore, they do, I'm not signing shit so off. They never called me back. I don't even remember what they wanted me to sign but I knew it was BS.

Bottom-line is when it comes to car troubles like hit n' runs, theft, etc, justice rarely gets served.

Someone hit my car in an apartment parking lot once. Fortunately, he left a note saying "Sorry I scraped your car." The "scrape" dented the rear passenger door and quarter panel in addition to thrashing it. Did over 2k in damage. Some scrape.

Like I said, the police officer said that even if he did find scratches, it's still almost impossible to prove the case without a witness and/or security footage, as it's essentially her word versus mine.

Happened to me twice. Green paint on my car, found a green volvo with scratches and a busted headlight. i waited for the owner and confronted her. she took off running. I called the police, they measured the heights of the scratches and found my guess to be reasonable. They went over and questioned her and mentioned that hit-and-run is a criminal charge, whereupon she admitted to hitting me. Second time, the guy wouldn't admit to hitting me, saying that i hit him. police came by, he was drunk, and offered to drop the dui charge against him if he admitted fault.

tldr: you need to get her to admit to it if you dont have witnesses.

I hear that sodium penothal works wonders in this type of situation.

You can pull the dent pretty easily yourself. Go to a Advance Auto or Auto Zone some place like that and ask for a dent puller. They should carry one that looks like a super sized suction cup, put it in the center of the spot and pull it out.

Also make sure to stick it in her pooper for hitting your car.

i doubt cameras would mean a thing.. i saw a car back into another one at an apartment place.. went in and told them.. they said even though they have cameras they CAN NOT USE THE FOOTAGE for something like this ..

Yeah, back when I was in college someone scraped my car a little bit. They gave their info to campus police and campus police called me over to my car. I got the information but didn't do anything with it. I figure if someone is that honest about a minor thing like that, I'm not going to go through the trouble. I would be pissed if I were the OP and saw that shit though. You have to be pretty negligent to do that to a parked car. I hope some vigilante justice is served on that red SUV bimbo.

wow that's really ed up... here is my experience with someone doing a little over night hit and run.

So I wake up and go check on my car in my gf's apartment parking lot to find my car in this position:

Some asshole at some time during the night drove over the grass infront of my car and shoved my car into someone else's car. This was evident from the fresh tire marks on the grass.

The owner of the other car was confused as I was and realized after seeing the tire marks on the grass that someone else was involved in this shit. (Since I had headlight damage to my left light and scratch marks on the bumper as well). Luckily I took a shit load of pictures.

Called the police and it took them 2 hours to come by to take the report...the other guy had to leave to take his daughter to school said he would be back and we did exchange insurance information... he never came back when the police came.

My insurance declared it as an "Uninsured motorist" so I had to pay a 500 dollar deductible until they got the police report. Took them 6 months but I ended up getting a 300 dollar refund .... the damage was like around 1400 bucks . Never did find who did this shit and why....my guess is some assholes thought it was funny to pick on the guy who was from out of state :( Luckily the other guy was cool and calm or there would have been some ass kicking :(

Chances are that was their excuse to hide the fact the cameras were not even on. Shit, 90% of the "black dome" cameras at department stores are empty inside. There's a few at my work like that, stand in the right spot and you can see right through them. It's just a money saving deterrent, putting up fake cameras.

Problem is with that is when some serious shit happens...like someone getting killed or other property damage...there is no "evidence".

I think it really is against the law to use footage for car accidents. If you set up a camera to film constantly, and it films a car hitting you, you still can't use that in court.

And where is your J.D. from?

Originally Posted by the_grimace honestly, I really don't like the town too much.

I'm only here because I'm pretty much willing to do anything to get my career off the ground. Once I have a few years experience, I definitely plan to move. I also just hate the cold too much to stay here as well. My company is great, but the town is very "meh" to me and I am really hating the cold right about now. (I moved from Arizona... cold there is like 50 degrees. haha)

Champaign used to have a great music scene, but I am not sure if that is still the case.

fix it yourself you $$$$$$. jesus.
cops aren't going to do shit, and neither does posting about it here.

Please don't post stupid shit like this. Seriously, not even a word of this is true and hopefully nobody that has read it has believed you.

Try doing some research before you post stupid shit yourself. Laws vary from state to state, but they actually reference that scenario exactly.

"So you’re safe, right? Well not so fast. Assume you set your camera up to catch whoever has been parking next to you and dinging your car door. Your wireless surveillance camera has a nice view of the parking lot in front of your townhouse. Unfortunately the townhouses across from yours are also in view. Depending on your local laws, this may be considered an invasion of privacy. "

And the gist of that part of the article is that as long as your camera is set up so that it ONLY films the parking lot, which is a PUBLIC place, then you're most likely within your rights and the law. So yes, elessar123's post is very misleading at best, and stupid at worst.
