Car park runners?

[dangerous]

Fuck me, rant time...
Ok so twice in as many weeks both my cars have been backed into or hit in a car park.
Last week my truck was backed into stoving in the rear door, the city cear driver was about to do a runner when a witness stoped him and his reply was "ohh didnt know I hit it bro" later on he said he thought it was the tyre he hit
Any ways apart from the inconvenance it shoud work out all right.

BUT to day the car was hit in the pasangers door, fucker did a runner and no one seen anything, was a big mall car park... this one will cost me.

So the attached poll is a anomious one so post truthfully...

Do people run cos its the intial reaction, cos they dont want to pay, anything else?

i had a new 98 accord and a small truck backed up onto the bonnet and fucked off, leaving big gouges half way to the windscreen, cunts that do runners need stabbing

[Icemaestro]

they sometimes have cctv in big mall car parks..might be worth chatting to security and see...that is if you can remember where your car was parked!

A large mall should have security cameras installed, surely...... like what he said.

Depends on whether this counts, was in a supermarket carpark and the wind caught my van's door, which blew into the car next to me with very minor force, to say it scratched it would have been an overstatement, but there was a visible mark. There were also quite a few other similar little nicks etc and I reckoned a good cut an polish would have fixed the one I left anyway, if not the rest as well. So I fucked off (actually I think it was on my way in), does that count as a runner?

I work in a supermarket here in Dunnerz, a guy had his car t boned in the car park by an old fella, who then backed up (with a fucked up front end) and drove off.. I have had people push trolleys up against my bike and all sorts, drives me nuts.

I tend to keep a note of regos and colours of vehicles which are parked dodgily next to mine (I never do the dodgy parking, mind). I know it's probably not necessarily helpful as another car could park there in the meantime...

I thought that kind of shit only happened in Aucks!

Some piece of shit Honda rider dropped his bike against the side of my car while parked at the Cemetary Circiut a couple of years ago. He thought nothing of riding off & leaving $2500 damage behind (door, bumper, light, sill, mirror).
Fortunately a nice chap wrote down his details & stuck them under the wiper.
The bloke was a fuckin weasel when confronted about it.

At least our problems with this are nowhere near as bad as Thailand's. I hear that It is absolutely atrocious the amount of people that crash into other cars and just drive off.

If I happened to crash into someone in a car park, or damaged anyone's property when they were not within the vicinity. I would wait or not depending on my schedule, otherwise leave a note with name, number etc and a short explanation of what occurred. I'd feel far too guilty having caused someone a financial burden as well as having wasted their time out of my own accord.

We had a hit-and-run on one of our cars outside our house earlier this year - around $1,500 of damage.

The side-on damage suggested that it had been reversed into, and likely from someone backing out from the house opposite. The old guy who lived there had regular visits from family, caregivers, and medical personnel, so I went to talk to him. He confirmed that he'd had a visit from a Medical Laboratory lady - he gave me her name.

I tracked her down at her workplace, and checked her company car - sure enough, damage on the right rear corner which matched the damage to ours, although it had obviously just been cleaned. I went inside and confronted her - she denied it, claiming that the damage on her car was already there. She also said that she hadn't parked in the driveway, which was later confirmed as an outright lie - she had been seen there by other neighbours.

I took photos of both cars, and presented them to her manager the next day, along with paint samples. The evidence was pretty clear - the unique shape of the Honda Jazz bumper was boldly stamped into the side of our car, along with a fair amount of paint. The boss lady immediately accepted liability for the damage caused by her employee.

The thing is, this was a respectable middle-aged woman - who not only did a runner, but told several lies in an attempt to avoid responsibility. It was a real eye-opener.

yea man, people are wankers these days.

I just make sure I park next to cars that are flasher than mine (not hard), that way I know they are going to be more worried about it than I am.

And a funny story I heard, owner of a damaged car found a note under their windscreen wiper that said.....

Sorry I hit your car.
I had to leave a note because someone was watching.
Sorry.
