This will be a rant.
Besides my Seville, I have a '94 Acura Vigor. Pretty rare cars, and this one is a gem. All original, just hit 80K miles, unbelievable condition (3 tiny scratches in 18 years, that's it) I've had it stored in my aunts garage for the winter, I was at her house two days ago, we've been having good weather this week, so I figured I'd take it home for the night and play with it today.
So early yesterday morning, around 4:00 A.M., I come home and park next to my house in my private way (my Seville is in my "normal" spot). Between my house and the house directly across from me, there is room for two cars with room left over to open the doors (the picture is deceiving, but there's plenty of room. My mother used to park her '90 Grand Marquis there and a neighbor with an H2 could get by with no problem). My neighbor has to drive over his brick walkway to fit by, but this is normal, and never caused a problem.
Anyway, I come out of the house this afternoon, walk past the car, and saw something odd out of the corner of my eye. I look over at the car, and the entire length of the drivers side quarter panel is side swiped........ I felt sick to my stomach.
No note, nobody knocked on the door, no nothing. The paint left behind on the car is silver/light beige....the same color as my neighbors Highlander. Between that and the height of the damage, it had to be him. I didn't see him, his wife or the truck all day. His live-in friend is home, but (says) he doesn't know where they are.
I don't understand how someone could misjudge the gap between the cars THAT bad, cause some major damage, and not even have the decency to leave a note or number. Maybe there was an emergency and he left in a hurry, but by now he could have at least called his friend and had him give me his plate number, insurance information...anything. But no.
We'll see what happens tomorrow, if I don't see them, I guess I'll just call the police?
