Should I??

Yesterday afternoon I went to the movies and when I came out there was a note on my car saying to call the mall security.

so I called and it turns out someone hit my car and they have a witness and plate numbers of them.

I was driving my beater witch is a damn tank.. so theres no damage other then a few scraches.. and the bumper my be slightly tweeked.. (I dont care)

but where the guy hit me, jesus!.. the guy must of took the front end off his car!.. theres parts of headlights, turn signals, paint, and a little bumper!

I dont care about the small damage I got.. but how could someone hit me that hard, and take off thinking they wouldnt get cought??..

should I report it to the cops?.. or just leave it...?

If I do report it.. do you think the cops will give me a hard time for not reporting it yesterday??..

I don't think the cops would give you a hard time for not reporting it the day before. As for you reporting the guy in the first place, that's totally up to you. I would only report him if there was damage to my car because I wouldn't want to have to pay for something that I haven't done.

If you don't care. Then dont report it. Just hope that other person who hits you dont turn the story around. But after all, you got witness and also the mall security to back you up if anything goofy pops up. Your fine.

to all above. And I don't think the cops would care much since half the time they don't even bother to show up on non-emergency situations such as your case. Not unless someone is hurt.
It's usually the collision centers you report to, not the police.

The cops would be a dick about you not reporting it right away, they always do. But if you want to **** him over, and for him being a damn ***, i would report it.

Mark, you could also get the info and call him to milk some cash out of him. Saying you wouldn't want to report it if he'll just cover for the damages. Make up some number and see if you got your popcorn and drink pay for at the movies for your trouble.

what ever happened to being a good sameritan...Yes the person who hit you if a dumb ***, but that doesn't justify you also being a dick towards something you dont really care about, which would **** over another person...Maybe the guy who hit you was in panic, or was like 19 and new if this was reported he wouldn't be able to drive because his insurance company would rape him...Needless to say i say you drop it and dive the guy a break.

It does'nt matter if he cares about it or not, the pereson hit his car plane and simple, he should get ****ed over. My car got T-boned because of a guy running a red light, i want to be nice to the guy and report it, but i did, and i'm glad i did, as he was driving with no insurance, and with a surpended licance. I'm glad the he is getting ****ed over.

being a good samaritan is about doing the right thing, not about letting a guilty man roam free.

^Right on!! The good samaritan is the person who jotted down the plate #.
If this person hit your dog or your loved ones and bolt, would that justify in letting him roam free?

report him, what if it was your good car. What if he does it again. Get people who cant drive off the road.

Exactly... If someone is a bad enough driver to hit your PARKED CAR............................................... .................................................. .................................................. ............................

WTF?!!!??!!?

Not only imagine if he hit your good car.. imagine if he got away with it..!

That would be real ****ty... besides he already traded in his "dont be a dick back to me card" when he tried to get away with it and bouced from the scene. just my opinion
