I think he means 50% excluding the retards.

If you park by the curb only 1 car can go beside you

Hence the 50%

I went to the station this morning and was there for about an hour. I filed a police report but to be honest, it didn't seem like they cared very much unfortunately. They kept telling me that if they go to the scene and no one admits to it, they can't do anything? I contacted the company that was on the note that was left on my car but it must of just been a random sticky note the person had as it was a large company and no one knew anything about the incident. I left the station to go to work and talked to my managers. My head managers good friend is a cop in Mississauga. After speaking with him over the phone he was pretty upset with how the Police I spoke to treated the situation. I spoke with two different divisions over the phone and they said they are going to go to the address of the car that hit me and see if they confess. I told them that they are going to find my red paint all over they're car and that charges should definitely be made.

At the end of the day, I think I am going to be out the money $1500 including my new Valenti Tails which sucks but I really didn't want to put it through my insurance as even though I have a clean record, i'm a young driver and my rates will still go up a lot. I hope the lady gets charged even though i'm most likely going to be out the money.

Lastly, I tried to get the Police to call her on the spot but they said there was no number associated with the plate, just the address (which I found really weird). Thanks to everyone for helping me out with their advice, I really appreciate it. Im getting it fixed on Tuesday and it should be all done by Wednesday night.

By the way, if anyone is down for a cruise sometime in Sauga let me know by messaging me on here or on my Insta at: maxw_31

Take care and thanks again

Hey man, First of all: my condolences for the unfortunate event. Actually saw the car parked yesterday and saw the damage when I got a closer look. Felt really bad, it's crazy how some ppl just don't give a fuck until it happens to them but I must say car looks amazing otherwise... Valenti's are gonna look crazy.

Super down for a cruise in the west end anytime.

Cheers,

Plot twist, you're the culprit or a friend of the culprit checking in on the forum hoping someone would post about it in order to get updates.

I always park at an end spot, either next to the curb or where only one car can park to the left of me. Im only parking next to the curb now though haha

Thanks brother, I appreciate that! Where did you see me at?

Solution to your problem:

Park the car, and never, ever under any circumstances ever drive it again.

Reality of the problem:
There are shitty people everywhere. Good thing you have insurance.

That sucks. Had it happen to me on my previous car. It was parked in front of my house and the neighbour across the street backed into it and took off. My dashcam caught the plate and I payed them a visit the next day.

I hate the fact that I park away from everyone with a ton of open spots and come back to my car to see someone has parked beside me. Could you not have parked somewhere else?

"Think"

You are funny sometimes.

I park in the widest opening as close to my destination that I can find. The average car door opens at about 30 inches so if I can find a spot close to that on each side that is where I park. No guarantees that those cars won't pull out and others come in closer but it reduces the odds of getting dinged by a little.
I gave up on the concept of curb or end parking in a lot several years ago after witnessing a spectacular parking lot accident. Since parking lots are designed to keep traffic slow and fit the most cars into the smallest area the rows are not always even and sometimes can be very odd. I watched an 80 year old woman in a Buick (of course) drive straight into the back of a brand new BMW at about 40kph. It was one of those odd shaped lots where the rows were sort of staggered and he picked the end thinking he was safe. She was totally baffled why that car was in the middle of the driving lane.
You can get hit no matter where you park.

I find it so odd they would increase your rates considering it's completely not your fault, regardless of your age

Im with Aviva.

Your right about them agreeing it's no fault but if I had another accident and it wasn't my fault either, my yearly premium would still go up a significant amount.

Insurance is in business to make money, they could care less about us
