Hit and Runs...

heres the suspicious area. the vertical piece of paint seems to match the paint missing on the edge of the door they claim that's been on the car since they bought it.

It's tough for me to let it go, and its tough for me to accuse a neighbor I dont know very well. Only possible hole in their story is if the kid was not at school, and that would be a PITA to prove and probably not worth going through.

NO WAY.

Sleep in peace.
That car did not cause that damage to your car.
That claim would be in my fraud operation and we would investigate it to seek to deny it as no way those two cars collided together.

I have done a considerable amount of accident reconstruction and have taken many courses and seminars on it. I assure you with all I know, this car did not do that to yours.

Phew! Thanks Carlos. I do feel bad for approaching them a bit hot and heavy earlier, but at least I can trust my neighbors with that at least.

I'll probably just get it repaired out of pocket, with the deductible, police report, and all that hassle and insurance rates, including reacharound time (is that the right word?). I dont need another headache.

At least we had a little mystery out of it.

oh..the word i was looking for was turnaround time.

Hey Carlos, if you look at the photo closely, you can there's some rumpling of the bumper on the neighbors car to the right of the paint layer from a darker colored car...that looks like it's slightly squished from an impact...if they were going slowly, like backing out of a driveway, they'd do a lot more damage to what they hit than their car, and it looks like the plastic of their bumper buckled slightly...see the crease on the right side of the bumper at the rear of that car?
