Hit and run

Somebody hit and run my mini-van that was parked on the street last night. I can still drive it, but the car that hit it looks totaled. They got out and ran away before we were able to get a look at them. This was at about 2 in the morning. They were probably drunk or on drugs and wanted to avoid getting a DUI. Sucks.

 

The van wasn't worth much, but I had just filled the gas tank ($80.00). I drove it today but the left front wheel rubs when I turn.

Yeah, I called the cops. They came, took a report, looked for the guys that ran off, and towed away their vehicle. I assume that at least the passenger was hurt, because there was blood on the seat. I don't really know though.

 

The good news is that it looks like I will for sure get some money for the van, because I had some coverage that I wasn't aware of.

As long as the others didn't actually steal the car, I'm sure you can get a claim from their insurance.

 

They will find whoever owns the car.

 

A girl growing up near me stole her parents car while drinking at age 16, during her joyride she wiped out 12 cars.

 

Her parents had to pay for all damages and she couldn't get her license until age 21.

 

She ran as well.

Dang ... 12 cars. If that was my daughter, I don't even know what punishment would be good enough. I think I would have asked the cops to put her in juvenile detention.
