sluggunner Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Makes my blood boil! Here's the scoop, I baby my truck big time and do everything to keep it running and looking good. So I'm always checking it out and notice any little scratch ding or dent I might pick up. So today after work I pop into Walmart to pick up some Tinks 69 to see if it will draw any big bucks into my scouting camera set up. Anyhoo, I'm in the store maybe 8 minutes, and when I come out there is a dent and blue paint all scuffed up high on the bed of my truck right by the gas filler door. I'm like what the "Crud!" (although I was thinking of another word.) It is not a huge dent but the scuff is up high and rather long with lots of paint left behind so the moron who did this obviously knows they bumped into my truck. Well needless to say, they were gone when I got out there as no blue car next to me when I left and not even a note to say they are sorry for the damage. If you can't park your stinkin' car in between other vehicles that are parked neatly in between the lines, you should park in the back of the lot and WALK!!! I don't think I would be nearly as mad had they at least stayed around to tell me it was an accident and they are sorry, it's the whole sneaking off thing that really frosts my cupcake!!!! :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Problem with the Walmart lot is that the spots are made for little cars like geo's and fiats. I park as far away as I can only to come out and have a car or cart next to the truck. I give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'd go with Jeremy's idea, and ask for some tape footage, you never know. You file that on your insurance and they'll jack your rates up. No doubt whoever did that knew they did it. It's good to have scratches! Adds character!

Adjam5 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 That does bite. Now you got that ding out of the way. The next one won't hurt as much. There will be a next one...you KNOW that right? If you bring your vehicle to any public place that is the chance you take. Some folks just do not give a poop about anyone's property.

stevebeilgard Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 i agree with the above, where they say to see the wal mart tapes. then, file a hit & run complaint and let the police and insurance company handle the details. i'm sure they knew they hit you. they just escaped. go catch them, and do not listen to the "excuse". (oh, i didn't know..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Shooter Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'm with you on that! I had my new Nissan Titan SE for 5 days and got a dent in it here at work. What sucks is that is was my manager that did it and hasn't said or done a thing about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisha Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I can park perfectly fine but for this reason alone is why I park AWAY from everyone. My husband and everyone else in my family always make so much fun of me for it. Know what I tell them? Go look at any vehicle I've ever owned and tell me how many dents you can find. It never fails when I have parked anywhere remotely near the front of a store, I will have the biggest piece of junk parked right beside me when I come back out. I swear some people do that crap on purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm23494 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 That stinks. It's a shame what the world has become with the lack of respect for other people's property. I was always raised to treat things as you would like to have your things treated. Unfortunatley you can't fix stupid. :hammer1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
