I do believe I have found the culprit...

Notice the red paint on the edge of the bumper...

I told the office, one of the ladies called the person in, and....

SHE DENIED THAT SHE KNEW ANYTHING

WHAT THE HELL?!? I'm not going to confront her today (last day before 11 day thanksgiving break) but come December 2nd... no more mr. nice guy >:)

This is why I park all of the way in the back.

YOU HAVE AN 11 DAY THANKSGIVING BREAK??????

Yep ;) however we didn't get a veterans day break (among others) so I think that it all evens out :)

She might legitimately not know that she hit you. Of course, that really means she shouldn't be driving...

We have Wednesday-Sunday off next week. But we get 12 days off for Christmas. Now that's a break I'm looking forward to.

My sister got no Fall break, and gets a 2 day Thanksgiving break. Enjoy what you have.

I know, I'm surprised that he has such a long break. We technically get three days not counting the weekend.

That is a pretty long break, I agree.

December 24th-January 4th. Gonna get so much skiing in that week.

HOW THE HELL WOULD (COULD) SHE NOT NOTICE?!?!

Just call the popo's and see if they'll do anything. I mean yes it's minor damage but it is still a hit and run.

You have proof(looking at the car it's obvious it was her.) If she won't own up to it make her own up to it. The longer you wait the harder it will be. Just what if during that 11 day break she manages to hide the evidence? Then you've got nothing. especially now since she knows you know I would waste any time.

It's cross country skiing. So you probably could do it, even in Kansas!

She doesn't know that I told the office ;) For all she knows, the security cameras caught it!

So should I or should I not be that guy that ruins thanksgiving break for her?

Backing out of a parking spot?!

Rainbow > Sportwägen, Driver Of The Red Sportwagen 11/21/2014 at 15:47

Possibly. But more likely, if she didn't notice your car move, it's likely that she didn't really feel it either.

Nice! I like cross country. It's more relaxed and you can go pretty much anywhere.

Stop being so damned English. She's ruined yours, now reciprocate.

But there is no body damage and only minor paint damage (she scraped a TINY bit of paint off) It actually did more damage to her car than to mine :/

Can you carry a rifle when you're alpine skiing?

I took my car to the Glen for the Rolex race this past summer, after buying it in late November last year (happy 1 year, baby - you know I love you), and came out to find a small "through-the-paint-into-the-effing-black-plastic" nick on my pristine white 'wagen. Words could not contain the anger and sadness as i sulked myself home.

I feel for you, man.

This is the second time this has happened to me... once to the front bumper and now to the rear :(

Oh... I saw the white thing and thought it was the arm of the bow.... but now I zoomed in and saw the bolt and barrel :( I'm also not used to red (?!?) guns...

Some Olympics thing I presume. Because you're "not allowed to paint your guns"...

But this occurred on Wednesday... so it's probably been taped over :(

At least in New York it's illegal to paint the guns. I think that's a law here. Not entirely sure though.

She ruined yours didn't she? This is not about whose mood you are going to affect it has to do with your the guy that has to pay to fix it if you can't get it sorted out with her.

I backed into a car once. I could of easily just drove off and no one would of known but instead I went knocking door to door to find the owner of the car I hit.

Who cares if she is going to be mad. If she did not want her holiday ruined she should not of hit your car. I the grand scheme of things she'll get over it. these things happen to even the best of drivers. You get it fixed and you move on.

Minor ruin, maybe? Leave her a polite note, with the photographs, and a request that she come up with some touch-up paint and T-Cut or whatever they sell it as here in the US. Giftwrap optional. If she continues to deny it, and since it happened at work, take it to supervisors. They don't like liars in places of work that I know of.

I've made the decision to confront her after school...

She actually lied already (I know because she walked by looking very distressed after talking to the office...)

You should take care of it asap. Don't wait until after break. You won't ruin her holiday. It's a rather minor thing in the grand scheme of life. The faster you settle it the sooner you can both enjoy your holiday.

I'm not dealing with her (she denied it twice, so she is either innocent or a pathological liar) It all buffed out, some very minor paint scuffing for me. I'm fine with it

Keep your photos, file a police report, take her to small claims court. When shit gets real she just might fess up and pay to avoid going to court.

My 2 cents: having been booped in parkings in my old integra 4 times, and having been involved in small-scale squabbles, AND a lawsuit, here's my suggestion: this is not worth it. Even if she probably did it, i think just let it go.

I see, well that complicates things. Well I hope the scratch comes out suitably. I suffered a very similar parking garage scuff with my last vehicle.

Yeah, it came out fine... the whole thing that made it look so bad was the paint that came off the other person's Civic

Their outcome was worse than mine ;) All I wanted was for them to apologize...

Technically I could still call the police and file charges for a hit and run accident :) but I'm better than that ;)
