Just my luck lately, why does it seem that no good deed goes unpunished?

So I'm coming out of Alexandria's U.S. District courthouse after paying the rest of my fine and taking care of some business, and I see this big ole burgandy Lincoln with it's front end up against my rear bumper, wheels turned and not quite finished pulling/backing into the curb-side parking spot behind my car.

What makes this so difficult and ironic at the same time, is that when I first parked the car I noticed that someone else was also trying to park a similar size (compact) car behind me, so I move up a bit more (closer to the M-B in front of me) to make sure that the guy in the compact could park w/o scraping my car!!!

Back to the Lincoln, well I'm sitting in the car waiting for the owner to come back and there are quite a few Alexandria police cars going back and forth ... so I flag one of them down and explain "my situation". He says basicly he can't write a report if it's less than $1k, and to leave the owner of the car a note (in something plastic since it's raining out).

Well, I'm looking over the damage (not really that bad, bit still ... where's the "justice" in this situation), and I realize the guy's front plate is about to fall off.

Hmmmm ... I wonder where those sheet metal screws ended up?

 

"Hmmmm ... I wonder where those sheet metal screws ended up?"

Yeah where did they go???

 

Buddy is going to be sportin' some new tires soon probably


You should have given him a little kick to the door to remember you by

 

I wasn't sure whether he'd go forward or backwards first.

For sure he'll be losing his front plate shortly, bet he won't even notice the CW paint on his passenger front corner and lic. plate holder.

I wouldn't purposefully destroy someone else's property, esp with cops everywhere, etc.
But some stragicly placed road debris ... is just simple "justice".

 

justice is a wondeful thing.

 

HOpefully you got his tag number. You can find anything with someone's tag #. Just find someone who has authorization to go under tagtalk and look it up there address, insurance information, who it's registered to, etc... At least that's what we have in Florida.

Marc ---&gt; who does that chit for work.

 

I would've slashed his tires with my Benchmade but kudos to you Ed for being a pacifist

 

Ed, things like this anger me like you have no idea. I recall you making the comment about my bumper scuff. Do you now have a mark that is going to bother your eyes everytime u walk to your R?

Non- Driving and parking people....

 

oh no Ed.. so sorry... Some people just have no respect for other peoples cars.. its like siting in your car in a parking lot and seeing someone park RIGHT next to you and open their door into your car. Happened to me once a long while ago.... got out of the car with my fists swinging lol

Violence is rarely the answer.
I've had an interesting year, this is just a little below the belt. LOL!

The scrapes in the bumper cap can be covered with some light sanding and touchup paint I have left over from when My rear wing was vandalized.
The divot near the center of the bumber will always be there, though.

At least I'm still relatively free of door dings (or should I even have said that)?

Thanks Gina.
That door ding thing happened to my brother's 66 Malibu convertible (or was it his 62 Nova)?
My brother asked the guy how he'd like it if it happened to him?
Guy said ok with me.
Brother reached into his tool box and planted a ball peen hammer in the guys hood.
The guy got in his car and drove off, my brother had a witness to the whole thing and it seemed the guy let him (from I understand it was a relativey new car at the time).

Hehe .... I'm one of the few people in my family with any real patience (but enough is enough). LOL!

ROFL!!

I would have paid money to see that.

Sorry 'bout the car, Ed

 

Sorry to hear about your car Ed Perhaps he'll get a ticket for no front plate after he changes the tire

 

Thanks Guys, good thing I didn't have any tools!
What size lugnuts do those domestics have?

lol always carry a 4-way

 

you hit him or he hit you?

 

Justice can only be had by doing it yourself. The law can only aid you in defending yourself against others.

 

I was parked and out of the car in the courthouse.

 

That sort of stuff happens so often over here. Sorry to hear that about your teg. The parking spots here are so small that every time i park i have to selectivly park next to someone that 'respects' their car. If not you get door dents and scratches. Also a very comon thing is the purse scratch. So far over 3 months of parking only in underground pay parking lots. Ive gotten 1 door hit, 1 purse scratch, and two butt cheek marks on my front wing.
