Got back to my parked car on Tuesday to discover.....

Van driver had reversed out of their drive-way and bump! She had kindly left a note though. Claimed she didn't see it as it was too low. I had decided not to park in the Shopping-mall carpark as that always seems the place more likely to attract dents and dings.

Remind me not to wind down the window before it's repaired. I had been planning to get the nose re-sprayed anyway, so will be able to kill two birds with one stone.

oh man, I feel sorry for you, that would make me soooooo pissed off!

Its a sad state of affairs when most of the populace are driving around in gigantic bathtubs and don't pay attention to what is around.

Claimed she didn't see it as it was too low.

in my opinion that's no excuse

-=edit=- on the positive side, from the photo's it appears that only the door is damaged so it's not as bad as it could have been.

Good on them for leaving a note... Its quite rare that happens. Seen a hit and run in a carpark, two normal middle aged women, they sat up straight then hoofed it.

They'll probably just replace your door and repaint it. Looks a bit too damaged to be worth the time to repair it.

Plus you have the best colour anyway!

pretty rare for some one to actually leave a note, good honest person. Need more people like that.

I think you should count yourself 'lucky' given the circumstances- A few more cm to the rear of the car and that would have made it a pig of a job to fix. A door replacement is easy

I had it happen to me in a Maccas carpark. HUGE Samoan gentleman and I saw it happen from inside. Walked out to get his number is case he did a runner and found him quite distressed because he had nothing to leave a note with.

We worked out a payment arrangement once I had the panelbeaters price, only $400 or so, and every month on the dot I got an envelope with some cash in it.

There are still some good people out there.
