Offline due to wife's Mariner gets hit
Well some of you noticed that I have not been online this week and that is because some idiot hit the wife's Mariner. It was in her work parking lot while it was parked. Click here to see the damage to her vehicle. What really sucks is the vehicle is only a year old and we have about $1500 worth of damage to it already.
Sorry for the rant gang, but some of you were wondering where I had been.

No note, but the wife remembered seeing a truck parked really close to her when she left work. It was the only time she did not check her vehicle before leaving. She normally walks around it just to make sure everything is fine. We drove back to her parking lot and the truck was there. A white Ford F-150 (not an FTE member and I don't think I am going ask them to become one ) with red paint on the bumper. We got the cops involved and they tracked the person down for us. Now the insurance companies are working things out.
It just sucks because it is a new vehicle and the damage was not caused by us. I am thankful that no one got hurt and that it was only property damage, but it has been three days of dealing with it which drives you nuts.

Someone would always be parked next to me when I returned, and it would always be an old 2dr sedan. Need I say more?

well the good news is you caught the person who did it. I got hit like that across the door and fender of my ranger while it was legally parked at a parking meter and a truck sideswiped it and took off and of course noone saw anything and the guy didnt leave a note. I have a good idea who it was but being i cant prove it i have to eat the repair bill which is $600 which isnt alot of money but yet i dont see why i should have to pay for anothers stupidity.
Ya know the way i was raised if i do some damage to someones item ( no matter what it is) I walk up to them and look em in the eye and admit to it then make arrangements to make things right. With the moral fiber of Americans the way its is lately i feel like a dying breed or a dinosaur. Its amazing the way people act and have a lack of morals then again with role models who are druggies , drunks, amateur **** stars ,thieves , liars, and all around garbage no wonder the new generations dont know how to act

I hear you Bob. I had one other really bad hit and run where someone took the front end off of my Volvo 740 Turbo Wagon. They took the bumper, grill, and front lights right off of the car. No one saw it and no note left.
I told my wife this is the last new car we are getting which is fine by her as she loves her Mariner.
