if you know it's someone you work with, look around the parking lot and see if you can find any black cars that look like they could have hit you.
also, is there any actual dent, or just paint scrape? you may be able to get some of the black paint off if you rub it really hard. --------------------  94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

that same thing has happen to me 3 times. Sucks to come out to the car and see it and nothing you can do.

95% of that should buff off. Do you have a DA?

the panel is dented, and even if it does buff off i still need to get it repainted.
Good news though.... looks like they are on video. Im going to review the security tape tommorow. Hopefully for their sake they will come forward before i have to send the pictures to the police. |

That's the biggest reason I want a pager alarm...not because of theft, because of hit and runs!!! It should give you enough time to actually run to the parking lot and see what car is running away!
Sucks though, it could have been a lot worst! --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

He is protected by the canadian privacy act. My company did all the investigating for me and found him. He went to my insurance company and told them he would pay for it. Got a rental car today..... 2001 camry.... *shudder* its too soft and too slow. |
