some drunk assclown hit my parked car on my birthday so now i have to deal with that
We actually may have found a lead thanks to a redditor with a car matching the description. We also have a camera at the intersection that very well may have caught him, but trying to access it is... complicated. However, if he is caught, there will be no mercy on his soul in the hell of courts he will be put through.
it was a hit and run so i only have a scrap of paneling as a lead right now. but someone on reddit did see an acura with a fucked up right bumper (i was struck on the left) and he was able to give me the location he spotted it, so i will try to get the officer i am working with to get the tapes from that night to pull a license number
Oh. Lame. Good luck with that. If nothing has happened within 72 hours, the best thing may be to work with your insurance company and take the hit, then try and recoup your deductible if things ever shake loose. Is your insurance company aware at this point? 'cuz they generally like to know this stuff as soon as possible. When some (similar) assclown swatted my ass across four lanes of the 405, I called my insurance company. They said "it's to your advantage to not get us involved unless you really have to." So I never filed a claim with them but they were still helpful.
of course. called them right away. car is heading to the body shop today so i should have an estimate on the damage soon (bracing for impact -- i can post pics of the carnage if you like).
