My car was parked out the front of our house ,not at the supermarket. Took my car down to the panel beaters and it will be 4 days for the repair, so I am with out my car until next week. I hope the person that hit my car gets there car damaged and see how they like it when people do not own up to it . Heather

One happy person got my car back this afternoon and she is again in mint condition. Just have to now make our drive way in to a double drive way. Have to move the letter box over fill in the drive way after the flood we had at xmas time, that washed out our drive way to a 4 wheel track.

Do you live on acreage ?? If so ... this might be a dumb suggestion ... but why don't you not park out the front

I have too much on my plate to start pulling doors off and fitting trims, mirrors etc, and doors are not that cheap anyway.
I'm lucky that I have a life time no claim bonus so at least the insurance premium won't go up because of it. As for the $550 wasted, I just eat hamburger mince for the week instead of a BBQ lamb chop.
Cheers, Mario

If that can save you $550 in a week you should consider buying your lamb chops elsewhere.

No we do not live on acreage. We have houses next door to us. We have our sons car there and Mario and mine. So we do have to move cars out if our sons want to get out. So that why mine was out the front so my son could go to work and come back. We would love to be on an acreage, the street is getting to busy with people taking short cuts, so they do not have to stop at the lights on the main road. Heather

The Cooks much loved old Camry was in the local shopping centre car park and got scraped down the side by a P plater who started to drive off..... only to be confronted by our daughter who'd been sitting outside having a fag in her break and heard the alarm go off.
He was very apologetic of course...... but didn't like having to give his details and a claim being made on his insurance.
So many people just don't give a **** about others property but that's nothing new.

Following on from the above when I said it wasn't a new phenomenon..... some 40 years ago I was with a mate in his old Combi van when he did the same thing down the side of a brand new Kingswood and his reply when I said about leaving his details....... "eff him, shouldn't have a new car"!
So nothing's changed.

I washed my wife's car before she went shopping yesterday & when she came home I found some low life had opened there door onto the L/H rear vision mirror then pulled the door shut braking the corner off the repeater light in the mirror. These mirrors fold back against the door when the car is locked so the door must have got in behind the mirror, There was a slight mark on her door were the other door had touched it which I managed to polish out. A new light cost $100 + fitting. IMAG1070.jpg

This second photo is a dent in the rear hatch that happened on the way home from the dealers the day we bought the car , we went to out local shops to get a couple of things & when we came out there was this dent in the hatch of out new car. the exact height of a shopping trolley.IMAG1073.jpg

The 3rd photo happened about 6 weeks ago , same shopping center , there is a scratch running from the front door to the back wheel arch, it is the exact height of were the rear wheels on the trolleys pivots . There was a trolley left on the garden in front of the car , if they had just walked to up 6 car spaces t hey could have put it in the trolley rack instead of damaging my wife's car IMAG1072.jpg It is hard to see in the photo as I have touched it up with pouch up paint & polished most of it out.

NOT ONE OF THESE PEOPLE LEFT A NOTE Not worth calming on any of these as they are all under our $600 excess PEOPLE HAVE NO RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLES PROPERTY ANY MORE
