goldie, I once had someone nearly remove my front bumper in a parking lot and not leave any insurance information. It was unimaginable that they didn't notice striking my car. It cost $500 deductible for my insurance to get it repaired (the damage was closer to $1500).
Subsequently, I've had people leave dents, scratches and all kinds of other damage from striking my car, but not once has anyone left a note with their contact or insurance information. People are assholes. Whatever they do that they can get away with is the order of the day. I think I'd not know what to do with someone who actually stepped forward to claim responsibility for such damage.
on a brighter note, t writes to let us know he's got a job at a university bookstore, so he's going to be in pig heaven for a while and at least able to pay his rent. Hopefully, he'll find some student selling off a cheap computer so he can pop in here once in a while. Has anyone heard from sevra?
