928 vs. powers that be: 0-1; a sad tale
Allow me to vent a little bit, this is too incredible! When I got my S4 just 7 months back, it had been kept by its original owner (brother to the only female minister here) in absolute original and pristine condition. It has all from shipping papers, window sticker, 30 service stamps, unused tool/spare kit, the lot.
Well, while I was on leave a few weeks back, a darn pick-up reverses into the rear quarter panel of my 928 while it was parked under a cover in my driveway!
As it happened, my maid eyewitnessed the mishap, which by chanse was done by someone I know.
So stupid me played mr nice guy and the first point I violated was not to call the police - a must in any sort of accident in this country, no matter how small. Then I violated the second rule of not moving the car (also the law) - yes I drove it to the dealer straight away for fixing, damn it I couldn't watch it like that another minute. Rather, I attempted to settle it in a gentleman fashion with the party who crashed into it, avoiding him a fine for running away from the scene of an accident and even offering to split the repair cost 50/50.
To cut the story short, since I moved the car and did not involve the police immediately, the powers that be associated to the driver ended up forcing me into an apology in order for me "to avoid further consequences for falsely accusing someone having caused an accident"
, I even saw the darn guys shake hands and laugh 
as I went away. And because they are just that, the powers, I unfortunately stay as a stupid looser in this case.
Where has the honesty gone in this world....?

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger,
Identical kabosh to the same spot, same side on mine.
Happened in our 6 home cul-de-sac. No one fessed up.
I think -itemized bill here somewhere- that the final tab was $3200 -$3400.00.
This includes a new rear quarter -they found three in Atlanta- and feathering in
which had to run from forward edge of door. Around here, if the other party is unknown, the cops tell you to go downtown and pick up a' blue form' to file with the state if damage is over $1200.00. This was basically a no-fault claim.
In my case, the damage looked identical to yours -was the lip hitting the tire?-
the adjuster said it looked, from the angle of damage that I couldn't have done it unless I was sliding sideways.
Not that it does you any good...you now know what a piece of crap the other guy is. If he has anything to do with your income obviously there is no recourse under mankinds payback clause. Check with other employee's to see if he also stiffs people on their last paycheck if so be friendly/cordial as possible till the end and leave some residual gotcha when you leave..
You know... morph some flicks of him tenderizing a goat in the Mosque's Court yard, or on his knees in front of a John Holmes look alike with empty booze bottles laying around. Mailed glossy's would be nice and loose ones floating around the Suhk(sp) is another nice touch. A half empty bottle of Jimmy Beam under a truck seat would probably be hazardous to place, but you get the idea...
Not that you would do anything like this ... F disc and toss the hard drive.
Above measures are real bridge burners so don't go back. They ain't as stupid as the seem...he'll figure it out.

Employer backs into your <car> = no fault.
Sound like he/she is a real piece of work!
Hope your not look for a good end of the year bonus to make up for it!
Had you not said anything and just had it fixed. You would have had a chance to play head games (read mind FU@K) with him/her without a chance of retribution.

Funny, (in that sad, ironic way) I was at a county courthouse yesterday filing more paperwork to get wages garnished after someone who promised to pay for a fender bender didn't. Not a 928 and not a lot of $.
Trust, but call the police on each and every accident.

I guess I wouldn't plot revenge, because:
1. You really don't want to be the same kind of person he is, and
2. Surveillance cameras are everywhere nowadays...
There is a pretty good feeling from taking the high road. But I sure would look for another place of employment!

So what if he is the same person, peers, equals, for that moment in time. On judgement day do you think he will stand before his
maker who will then send him to hell 
with continuous instant replays of him 
hiding a tuna carcass in the back of his bosses ride? I DON'T THINK SO!

No, but if he slips a tuna inside his boss's car and is caught on his boss's surveillance camera at work...
And no, I'm not claiming a tuna caper will result in eternal consequences. It's just that I've tried the revenge route in the past... Didn't end up feeling too good about myself, that's all.

With an eyewitness you didnt have a case? I am finding booth a lack of honesty and respect these days. Especially here in Socal. I can tell you how many times someone has made a bad lane change almost taking me out or run a stop sign and then turned and flipped me off with no provocation. People who drive like they are the only people on the planet. Just the other day at the mall this guy in front of me pulls into the driveway of a parking structure ( one lane ) and stops! Sat there for no apparent reason for a good 30 seconds before his wife decides to get out. We are no where near the bldg. or other cars at this point. Then when he moves he pulls forward 20 feet and stops again not sure which way he wants to go. Unfortunately he decides to go my way up the ramp and stops again at the top. Sits there for 10-15 seconds then starts a right turn. Relieved I start to pass him since I am going left. He then flips a U-turn right in front of me. I raised both hands as to say What are you doing, and he goes bizerk honking his horn and yelling at me. I long for small town amercia.
