Argh. you won't believe what happened. Our van got hit tonight. Its been sitting on the street since we have a large dumpster in our driveway right now.
So 9:30 a knock comes on the door. Our neighbors came to say someone hit our van and took off. Luckily the only thing really wrong is that the left mirror is broken (and I have a restircted license because of my eyes that I must have left outside and inside mirrors). But its just buggy that no one seems ot have the common courtesy to stop anymore -- always looking out for themselves.
Anyways, it was funny when the police came, the van that hit ours just happened to come down the street (our neighbor ID'd it) so the cop took off after him and he went down a side street. At first he slowed down and we thought he was going to turn around and come back. But no, he took off.. again. They finally got him, and he denied that he did it. So we might have to go to court if he disputes the charge (only charge they can really get him on is Failure to Control a vehicle since there is no injury and very minor damage) but if he disputes the charge (which it sounds like he will) we'll have to go to court.
And I don't even want to report it to our insurance because we can't pay the deductible and its probably not enough damage to even do so, but still.....BLAH!

Nah. Not enough damage to really pursue it. And I'm still driving around with a broken mirror
