I felt bad that that was what he had to come home to :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note/page/2#post-1192955 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 19:45:42 +0000 betsyboop 1192955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Vegmama: By the way, I just saw your story about your accident a while back. That is so crappy, unfortunately I think that happens quite often! I'm surprised she had the guts to lie to her insurance company seeing as the cops had come and everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note/page/2#post-1192954 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 19:45:00 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1192954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: good! I'm glad for you:) And glad that he is ok with what happened too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note/page/2#post-1192952 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 19:42:32 +0000 betsyboop 1192952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update: The owner finally called me a week later. He turned out to be a very nice, understanding older man and was so so thankful that I left a note. I was so relieved, but had kind of forgotten about it by the time he called so I wasn't as nervous when I picked up the phone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note/page/2#post-1169518 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 17:04:14 +0000 Mrs. Train 1169518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left a note when I backed into a car in a parking lot. They owner called and left a message on my phone saying not to worry about it and that he appreciated my honesty. It was three days later and I was worried every time the phone rang. I hope it gets resolved soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note/page/2#post-1169330 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 15:38:07 +0000 betsyboop 1169330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Vegmama: No, but I went to the garage today and the car is still in the same spot. The note is still there too, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note/page/2#post-1169233 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 15:13:37 +0000 Vegmama 1169233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you ever hear from them?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note/page/2#post-1164513 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 19:15:05 +0000 betsyboop 1164513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I'm a pessimist, it's one of many things I need to work on :wink: </p> <p>@Sapphiresun: That is just awful.</p> <p>ETA: still no phone call but I didn't check if the car was still in the garage today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note/page/2#post-1164162 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 16:07:59 +0000 Sapphiresun 1164162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, assuming that you're going to pay for the damage, I'd be stoked that the person was taking responsibility and didn't just hit and run it.</p> <p>I had someone hit my car, and damaged the bumper and ripped off the rear license plate. Then they went ahead and put the license plate under my windshield wiper... breaking the wiper and scratching my windshield. So much better than me driving away without my plate that would have cost $17.00 to replace, right? Of course no contact info.</p> <p>And once I witnessed a person hit a car, and get out an walk away, and was like... umm... you realize you hit that car right? And he got all confrontational, so I left a note on the car that got hit with his license plate number. When I cam back out the note had disappeared and my car was keyed. Luckily I'd ALSO written the plate number of both vehicles in my phone so I went ahead and called it into insurance third party, and the person they hit got the damage covered. Couldn't prove that they keying was them though, so I was on the hook for that. So much for the good samaritan I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note/page/2#post-1164152 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 16:03:03 +0000 LindsayInNY 1164152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Vegmama: A lot of police where I am don't write reports... The insurance companies usually take statements from both sides to help determine fault (along with inspections of the damage, etc.). You shouldn't have to pay out of pocket any more than your deductible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1164141 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 15:59:10 +0000 Vegmama 1164141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be happy you left a note! Some asshole hit our car a few weeks ago ... we exchanged info, called cops (but they didn't write a report), and then she lied to her insurance company about what happened. Now, we have to pay out of pocket. My point: if it was in writing, we'd have our car fixed. Again, I'd be so happy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1162896 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 09:02:13 +0000 MsLipGloss 1162896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: Not all people who drive sports cars are young a-holes . . . promise! ;)</p> <p>Fwiw, I hit a car in a parking garage once, and I left a note too (I was catching a plane, so I couldn't wait). Turns out it was a rental car for a local cop . . . he was super super nice, and was so appreciative that I left a note. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1162775 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:23:40 +0000 Mamaof2 1162775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be mad at first but then soooo happy you left a note!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1162714 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 07:59:55 +0000 Alivoo01 1162714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be happy that you left a note bc at least that means you were courteous and thoughtful and not some DB!</p> <p>@jill_a55: wow.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1162619 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 06:46:01 +0000 Adira 1162619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: Despite it being a noticeable dent, it looks like it'll probably be pretty easy to pop back out, so it's not permanent damage! So hopefully you hear back from the owners soon (so you're not cringing every time the phone rings) and they're nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1162605 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 06:23:48 +0000 betsyboop 1162605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Yup :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1162592 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 06:09:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1162592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be so happy you left a note especially for a dent that big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1162587 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 06:05:33 +0000 JoJoGirl 1162587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: ouch.

It shows remorse and maturity. I would have a lot of respect for someone who left a note and probably handle the situation well because of it. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1162217 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 19:21:55 +0000 betsyboop 1162217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still no call but I was in the parking garage this afternoon and saw that the car was still there. My guess is the owner has yet to discover it. I'm pretty much expecting a call since the dent was not small, to say the least. I'll post a picture from my phone, it's pretttty bad. </p> [attach=1948/13/muzt7n.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1161808 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 12:46:41 +0000 JoJoGirl 1161808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I've totally done this and left a note. They were really nice about it and thanked me for leaving a note and didn't want to file a claim. Don't worry, you totally did the right thing and this happens ALL THE TIME! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1161648 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 09:18:50 +0000 delight 1161648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be super happy you left a note!

I was in a parking garage and scraped the car next to me just a little. I was SO upset. I left a note and I was dreading the person calling me... it was a really nice Lexus and I was convinced they were going to scream. The guy ended up texting me and said he could buff out the scratches. He was SO grateful I left a note, like seriously shocked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1161611 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 08:15:51 +0000 ChitownRo 1161611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't be mad at all - just grateful for the note. </p> <p>We were driving (so slowly) on a winter night a few years ago. It was super icy and we started sliding and hit an old van parellel parked on the street. We waited for the police to come bc we really dented their bumper. I think the policeman thought we were crazy for actually calling but he filed some sort of report which we left on their car. But it was snowing and I'm sure in the AM it was illegible. They never called us. I still feel bad bc they probably didn't have much money (not the nicest part of town)... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1161487 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 23:55:50 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1161487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: I did this once, and left a note. The owner was SO NICE about it, and told me not to worry about it since the damage was so minor!</p> <p>If someone left me a note and was upfront about it, I would certainly be gracious about it! Accidents happen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1161466 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 23:18:13 +0000 hellocupcake 1161466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone tore off my bumper and didn't leave anything! Grrrr. College! :( 5 years later, still annoyed (: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1161408 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 21:49:40 +0000 mamimami 1161408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've left notes maybe three or four times? No one ever called me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1161403 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 21:41:49 +0000 jill_a55 1161403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: No, thankfully, I saw it online the other day and had to post it here. That would make me SO mad... I think it would be worse than no note at all!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1161400 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 21:39:51 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1161400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jill_a55: Whoa!! Did someone actually leave you that?!? That is terrible!!</p> <p>I think you did the right thing @Betsyboop: I once exchanged phone numbers with a girl who hit my car in our alley and admitted blame - we were both in a huge hurry and didn't want to spend time exchaging all info. When I called, she told me to get an estimate and stupid me, I didn't even take her license number or last name and she never answered again when I called. Major fail. Thankfully it was only exchanged paint between cars and nothing more serious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-hit-your-car-in-a-parking-lotgarage-and-left-a-note#post-1161391 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 21:34:40 +0000 jill_a55 1161391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A note is great! As long as it isn't this one!! </p> [attach=3906/13/muy4hu.448x600.Nt6OI.jpg]
