Hit and run!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I came out of Whole Foods yesterday to find someone gave me an early Christmas gift! No note, cameras, witnesses or security. :dunno:

My prelim. estimate is around 6K. There's some internal damage too that drove up the bill.

I plan on bringing it to C&D in South Hackensack NJ (BMW NA uses them) - the best in New Jersey :thumbup:

Just thought I would share.

Happy Holidays!

ouch! That's guy needs a lesson in gift giving! It's suppose to be something you want, not something you never want to have happen!

I hate that for you. People that do this kind of stuff need to be stoned in public, imo.

Happened to me a few years back. Luckily my insurance paid for 100% of it with no deductible. Hopefully, yours is doing the same.

Wow, that just sucks. I used to be anal about parking my car as far away from everyone as possible, now I am going to be even more anal. Such disrespect for other people's property is just wrong:(

no matter how anal you are, if there is an idiot in the lot, he will find you.
Last week I went shopping and I parked in the side of the lot where there were 10 car spaces available on four different directions, I come back and find an idiot with a minivan parked right next to me, so close that I had to move my X5 up so my wife and son could get in. I don't understand why, I thought maybe he wanted to jack it up or do something as the idiot was still in the van talking on the phone.

So, no matter what you do, if it's your "lucky day" it will find you. Once they scraped both sides of my rear bumpers in my old vehicle, I have no clue how they did both sides, but they did it.

:iagree:I'd be standing beside you with a wheelbarrow full of rocks.

We've all experienced it or know someone who's experienced it. It's happened to every vehicle I've ever owned. These idiots have no conscience.

Oh boy id be pissed.

Good choice with C&D. Matt casiano there is a genius at body work!

Ps happened to me also. Dining hall employee at my school knocked into the side of my car.. Luckily I was able to find the mother-f-er. ( lawsuit threatening notes work well :) )

Horrible.

Looks like a pickup/suv, maybe a receiver hitch?

That is really suckz...I feel your pain. Last October, my X5 car was parked at the parking lot. One un-documented driver lost controlled and slammed his ugly and old ass Nissan Sentra into my front driver side. He ran away while I was on the phone with the emergency operator. My car was end up in the shop for little over a month for "medical mechanical" treatment. The bad part is that it going to show on the Carfax.

That sucks. New rear bumper and probably lower hatch seem to be the major items. Good luck with repairs.
