Lousy Hit & Run Parkers

Nothing on the P-car yet. Knck on wood. But I bought a really nice 335 about 4 years ago and someone did that the first day I owned it in the office parking lot.
No note, but I have reserved parking, so knew it had to be the guy next to me. I had the management company track him down, and he denied it. Said he wasn't there that day. The next day, there was a different car in the space.
I waited for him after work, and he claimed he didn't own the other car anymore. Turned it over to my insurance company, turns out he had the same insurance and he had filed a claim to get his front bumper fixed. It was in the body shop. They paid the claims and canceled him.
Karma is a bitch.

From: Ephrata, PA, USA now. Originally from the UK
I was about to turn into my own driveway in my 'once owned VW beetle' a few years ago back in the UK.. I pulled to the center of the road and had been indicating that I was turning when a young girl following me decided to overtake me as I was actually turning and hit me side on caving in the drivers door. I stopped dead and so did she on impact. When I asked her what she was doing she said the sun was in hers eyes. I kind of felt sorry for her as she was the same age as my daughter. After exchanging details, I decided to give her a break and told her to ask her parents to come round and sort things out with me. Her parents came. I told them I could repair the damage for a very low fee without involving the Police or insurance. They both denied that thier daughter had even hit my car. I lost out on that deal as we both had moved our cars and I had no witness to the accident. From then on I carried a disposable camera in every car I owned. Now we have cell phones which are a God send should anything happen like that again. Unfortunate if our cars are hit when we are in the shops and only find the damage when we return. I leave my car as far away from other cars as possible but that doesn't say that I will always be free of problems. There are always those Ba****ds who drive away after they hit us. Thats the luck of the draw as they say. Very sad to see those Photos. Knowing how us Porsche owners adore our vehicles.
