Sure! Because I am sooooo willing to share my lady bits posing next to my banged up Bronco.

To quote a country song..... "I'm gonna show 'me what little girls are made of, gunpowder and lead......"

Took it to my body shop yesterday and it looks like the hood was smashed over to the side as well. Not sure if they'll realign it or what. She's going to go over it today before the insurance guy gets there.

Got her back and she's as smooth as a Dallas second wife. My body shop had kept my original paint so I didn't even have to worry about the color not matching!

Big smiles

Sorry you and your Bronco had to go thru that, but glad the shop did such a great job. If only these old trucks could talk, the stories they'd tell.... Hope karma catches whoever did it and didn't have the guts to fess up.

Me too. I'm honestly surprised how easy it is to hit another car and just drive away. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I did that.

I was waiting on my wife one day while she ran inside WMart and as I sat there right in front of me a woman in a big ole suburban whips in and clips the car beside her. Knocks out tail light and creased the rear quarter.

Woman backs out real quick n finds anorher spot to park. We left before owner of the car came out. I thought about snitching if owner had came out before we left.

Maybe wally let them look at cameras ?

Based on my recent experience Wally probably did not.

I spoke to my insurance person and they told me Lowes doesn't have to release any information about what's on the recordings. And they said when the time comes the stores have usually "reused the tapes" and don't have anything to show the police. That's if the police even investigate, which they probably won't since no one was hurt.

I'm taking it in on Tuesday to the body shop that painted the Bronco a couple years ago and the insurance agent is meeting us there.

It's also possible their cameras were down and they didn't want to general public to know about it. Some security cameras are so grainy and crappy they aren't worth poo out in the parking area. The good cameras are in the store (zoom in and read your text message) for loss prevention and the entrance/exit usually in case they have to identify or send out a BOLO with the local LEA.

My experience: I had a two year old car and parked at the farthest spot in the lot on a windy day and came out to find a rusted out mini van parked next to it and a huge crease in my door. People see nice or rare and they become little children. A lot of adults turn into little children when no one is looking.

The whole, I'll-show-them-attitude is all too common, especially thanks to social media. People like to throw lit cigarettes in open windows of nice cars as well FYI.

Typically, failure to leave information after hitting another vehicle is a Class A misdemeanor.
