Two and a half years and I've parked in the street twice. Funny story...I go out to my van this morning and shit someone side swiped me, what the hell. I look for signs, but nothing. So I call the police, then my insurance co and were talking. "She says, did you look to see if any of your neighbors cars got hit" So, I walk up the street and sure enough on the other side of the street a new neighbors car was hit as well. So, I run up to his door and a little Chinese gal opens the door, I've never seen her before and we're all pretty close in the hood. I tell her that we've been hit...deer in the head lights, wait I'll get my husband. Meanwhile the officer pulls up and we proceed to my van and I tell him, they got the neighbor too! He looks at my van and then the neighbors, back at mine and states, I think it's your neighbor that hit you. No shit, damn your right! They didn't leave a note. Apparently shes brand new here in the states and a little clueless, I think she must have been hammered not to notice, or their both lying. Anyhow the case was solved thanks to my agent and I've already been contacted by his. I told the cop that it was a damn good thing that I'm not a PI.
Also wanted to show you my new pup covers. Ya...its Marchelo, but mostly refer to him as Butthead.
Damage: mirror, fender, door(won't open)and behind door. Paint was chipping off drivers side mirror anyhow. ; )

That sucks. A woman in Arizona did it to my sons car. Never paid for the damage and he only had liability.
Re: Clouseau..at your service.
my neighbour backed into my van in the winter, mirror pushed in and fender crushed a bit (door wouldn't open as well). i think i know who it was but looking at her old smashed up discovery she probably didn't know she did it(at least never confessed).
