Hit before I got a plate on it!!

So I got my 2005 PreRunner TRD with the sport 2 package and upgraded sound system in the 4 door from a retired colonel in the U.S. Air Force which I happen to work for, for 16,675 but cause I paid cash(thanks Bomb Squad reenlistment money) he put it was 4500 on the title and I only paid 335 in taxes. Anywho, I get it home last night at 8:30 and I park it in the back of my lot at my Apt, and when I get home early from work at 3 so I can go get plates for it and I see someone, with some vigor, backed into the bumper leaving a baseball sized dent all the way to the left side of it and bent it a little.

 

Damn dude that sucks! Did you happen to get the plates of the car that hit you?

 

No, it happened while I was at work and its a rather small lot with only 15 or so cars but I haven't seen any with silver paint on them yet.

 

You should have jumped in your truck and chased after'em!

 

I was at work and didnt see it till they were gone. It could have happened anytime from 6:45am to about 2:30 P.M. when my girlfriend saw it in the back of the lot.

 

Oh ok i got ya. Read it wrong. My bad! That bastard!

 

Yeah and with so few people in the lot, to not leave a note it pretty bad.

 

they may not have noticed...

 

New here, how do I post a picture? They noticed.

 

Well on the bright side Welcome to TW. It's unfortunate that had to happen and be your first post.

 

How do you not notice that!

 

looks even worse in person.

 

idk the extent of the dammage but i gave a fire hydrant a love tap and idnt notice

 

nvm they deff noticed, the dent i got wasnt even the size of a dime

 

Damn, NO BUENO!

 

It's easy... people don't pay attention and/or just don't care, especially if it's a POS vehicle. They drive the big trucks/SUV's and think they own the road and to he!! with everyone else. It doesn't take mutch to dent these bumpers.



SPJ - Sorry about your "new" truck. Hope you can find the dirt bag and get them to fork over $$ to get it fixed.

 

see from above you can see the angle of the plasit to see how far it bent back, the bumper scratched the bed with how far it bent in.

 

find the b@strd if you can an open a can wupazz. we'll be glad to help

 

These people suck! No consideration for their fellow man!

 

I've been hit twice - not in my tacoma (thank goodness) by people who drove big cars and did that kind of damage and got out and asked (when confronted because they were seen doing the damage) "did I do that? Are you sure it wasn't already there?"
