GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

my cousin and her family are out of town for the week down in disney. im staying at her house with my gf to take care of their dog so i told her im going to use her car when i need to because my gf and i share my vibe. so today was the first day i had taken her cars they just left yesterday and i went into work at 9. around noon or so one of the cashiers called me and said that someone had hit my cousins car, i thought he was joking around because he likes to do that a lot but sure enough i went out there and i saw thisso i went back inside and a different cashier said someone just came in looking for a pen and paper because someone's car just got hit and they had the license plate number of the person that took off, so i went back out and sure enough there was a piece of paper under the windshield wiper with the plate number, so i called the police and they came and sent someone over to the persons house that the truck belonged to but they pretty much said if they don't own up to it then theres not much they can do to them (the person who witnessed it didnt leave a number or name)i think im going to park inside a bubble from now on

It looks like it just removed the bumper did it rip the mounts apart?You don't need to buy any Lotto's for awhile!

what did i say Pat....they come in three's. You should be good for a while now.that stinks that the witness didn't leave a number.Cuz not only could the person be charged for the accident, they could be arrested for a hit and run.

Leaving the scene when it's a scratch or a little rub is one thing but this ******* ripped the whole bumper off and fled. The police should be able to find a big paint rub or something on the guys truck to match him to the accident scene. Is there any surveillance cameras which may have caught it?

yeah if you witness make SURE to leave your name and a way to get ahold of you.. People that hit and run are very bad.

shaws has cameras in the parking lot so hopefully you can see something on their cameras....it looks like she needs a new right blinker assembly and jus some clips it did rip the rings that hold the bumper to the car but i think itl be ok

hey keith i hope this is it! with my luck ill put my projectors in and someone will squish my front end damaging my lights haha

Can't they do a paint match? There's got to be some Accord paint and a dent on the culprit's vehicle.

How somebody can do that to another person's property and just leave is disturbing. People really suck sometimes!The dings that morons leave on our cars here and there aren't anything compared to this... I'm really sorry to see that. Hope you get it sorted out.

good news the trooper called me today the person admitted to it and gave up their insurance info and everything so im going to get the accident report friday....the thing that ticks me off is i recognized the ladys name when she said it because she comes into my work all the time to buy cigarettes....i think im going to say something to her next time she comes in

Be smart about the situation.

don't say anything and if she says anything to you document it for a possible lawsuit... but i have a feeling when she sees it's you. she won't be back to the store.

What the heck did she hit it with? Is she going to get a ticket for leaving the scene/criminal property damage or ANYTHING so this donkey gets punished for doing this and running away?

she'll get leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident. there may be a secod charge fr failure to report an accident dependig on how tricky the DA is and how smart the cops are.
