Someone Dented my pickup today.

[TomSeller]

Yes, a couple years ago I noticed a couple new dings on the top of the tailgate of my pickup. Could not figure where they came from and like everybody else, pretty upset that nobody would fess up. About a month after that I noticed a familiar color paint on the underside of my FEL arms. Life goes on.

Did you confront the guy?

I've had the same thing happen a couple times. 1st was back in 2005. Had a brand new truck 1 week old. Parked in the parking garage at work figuring it would be safe. Came out a couple hours later to find the bed of the P/U dented in behind the RR tire. No cameras in the garage. Looked around at a few cars for evidence of my paint on their bumpers but with hundreds of cars on different levels I'd have been there all day. Cost to repair was just over my deductible.
2nd time was about a year ago on my 2013 truck. I have a dent in the LF fender about 6" in front of the mirror. Looks like someone took a ball peen hammer and whacked it. I have no idea where it happened or how or what could have caused that as high up as it is.
Hate it when someone damages your property and doesn't own up to it.

At the high school where I taught a textbook salesman hit a car in the faculty parking lot . He drove away not saying a word . What he didn 't know was a teacher saw it and immediately called the company with the story . Next day he returned with a big company check to be given to the car owner . I found out later he also got pink slipped .

I try to pick good places to park because of dirtbag hit and runners. I am usually 5-6 spaces away from everyone else, and I get my exercise walking to the store.

A few years ago I pulled into a mall and there was a truck parked in the middle of a bunch of open parking spots near the edge of the lot, so I parked one slot away from him. I came out of the store half hour later and everything was good until I got close to my car when I saw a 6" by 18" dent in the car door.

All I can figure is someone drove in between the car and truck and gave the pretty truck more room than he did to me.

Although improper I have been known to take a few spots near the edge of the lot. but not often. I feel guilty.

I'm pretty sure the FEL was responsible for making the side is my bed about 2" lower in the middle.

People have no integrity. I work for a very large financial services company and one day at the end of the day I watched an employee get into their car, put it in drive instead of reverse and proceed to hit the BMW in front of them. They got out, looked at the dent in the BMW, got back in their car and drove off. I wrote down both car's license plates and notified security of the incident the next morning. A couple days later I got a thank you email from the head of risk management. It was her BMW that had been hit. Needless to say, the employee was fired. Too bad, had they handled it properly and left a note, it would have been no big deal, just a minor accident. Lack of integrity cost that person their job.

I pulled thru a parking spot with a ford excursion at the local grocery store , this way I could just pull straight out . Its announced over the PA system " will the owner of the black suv with the plow come to the service desk " I go up there and the woman at the desk says my truck was in an accident and I need to go outside . I walk to my truck and a woman with her minivan parked behind me . Her plastic bumper is all racked up . I look , she drove into my weight distribution hitch . She then says " what are you going to do about this ? " So I looked at my hitch real hard and told her " well you did scratch the paint on the hitch , but I will let it slide "

This exactly why I park way out in a parking lot and walk a little further. The funny thing is I'll park way out in a parking lot away from cars and some jerk will park right next to me.lol

Probably told this story on here before, but I once parked in the outer region of a Walmart parking lot. No vehicles within 100 ft. at minimum. When I came out there was a airplane so close to the door I had to get in through the passenger door. Now before you really think I'm joking - the airplane was on a trailer being pulled by a large RV. He could have parked as far or further away from me as I did from everyone else - but didn't. ????
