My Max Hit & Run Caught on Video!

On 01/21/12 My Maxima was hit in the parking lot of my work. I was unable to catch the guy or get a license plate number so I'm likely biting the bullet on this one. I did however catch him in action and got a good mug shot of the guy. Hope I find him or he gets whats coming to him.

What comes around, goes around.

Enjoy the video. Please share, comment, rate.

Wow, that sucks man. Hope you catch that SOB! That's just gutless! I'm sure you already did this, or at least thought of it, maybe turn in that info to local PD and tell them he looked like he tried to rob the joint. LOL That might get them motivated. Well good luck man.

This is illegal, a grand or so in parts is cheaper than a spot on your record for making a false police report

Police and local news. A douche like that probably has a mugshot on file.

Wow that blows, but it seems that you have sufficient evidence to nab this guy. Have you done as everyone has suggested and reported it to news and authorities?

Agreed... and OP, what's up with the soundtrack to the vid? It's not quite what I was expecting.

What a douche. If you hit someones car at least be man enough to take responsibility for it. My ex gf said someone "hit" my car when I was away and broke my taillights and bent my bumper a little bit. I know damn well she did it and to replace the taillights? she bought me damn altezzas. Either way simple fender benders suck because insurance wouldnt do much for ya and its all pretty much on you to fix it. GL catching him

That sucks. Reminds of the time when I got rear-ended by a Altima and the guy fled. My quarter panel got messed up, my rear bumper and my taillights. I managed to get the plates but the car was registered to a place that doesn't exist anymore. Just be happy your damage wasn't big. Good luck finding him.

The sound track was flippin AWESOME! Elevator/Lounge tunes. It fit so incredibly well. <--- No sarcasm, it was entertaining!

Front end damage adds up quick, that does still really suck though :/

That really sucks! Someone did something similar to my wife's Odyssey. But hers was brand new, and we didn't notice it until that evening.

Isn't the term "hit & run" suppose to be used only when a person is hit? Your case is just bump and no pay...
Even if you find who the person is you will have hard time to make him pay for your repairs. You will have to involve your insurance, have to go to court, need to present prove, witnesses before judge and only if you win he/his insurance will pay. It will take about an year or more to win the case and will cost you couple of hundred dollars plus lost time to go 5 times to the court. The grill + the hood will cost you less.

Atleast when you find him he can't tell the cops that he didn't know he hit you. He clearly came out,check the damages and boggied. Thought he'd get away

I got a club, if you wanna buy it. Won't keep your car from being stolen, but helps you beat the everlovin' crap outta someone for doing some low blow **** like that. Sorry to see what happened to your car :/

Yeah, she has a great ***.

Regardless, I've already started to fix it. I've pulled body parts from a 1998 yesterday. Hood, headlight, grill all for $76.00 I plan to get them painted over the summer (they are Dark green). until then I'll just have to drive around with a green front end.

No that isn't a fire zone, It's actually zoned for parking. It has a lane and everything. I've never been hit there before and have always parked there. It's almost 2 car lengths away from the front parking spaces. Anyone can easily park without my car in the way.

Exactly why I copied the footage.

Again guys, I don't want to sound negative and pour cold water on your excitement about the "give him to the cops" idea, but things don't work that way. First of all cops don't even write report if one car hits another at a parking lot. If it is not on the "road" and more than $1500 in damages (depending on state I suppose) they don't bother. You have to go the insurance way + court.
I think the OP is doing the right thing by fixing it. If he paints it himself, the total is going to be a bit more than $100 and voilà.

It's hit & run for person or property, and it's leaving the scene of an accident. Depending on the amount of the damage, it can elevate the charges as well. He shouldn't have a problem proving who hit him in court with video and the police proving that he either owns the vehicle or was driving it at the time. If the OP really wants to get technical he could measure the height of each vehicle and prove that it was possible for that truck to do the damage as well. I would rather take the jacka$$ who hit my car to court for damages, get him dropped from his insurance, and then sue him in small claims court for my time away from work. If he doesn't have the money to pay the small claims judgement, then I'd put a judgement on his credit report so that he couldn't get a thing until he paid me.

That sucks big time. Sorry.

Somebody mentioned fleeing the seen, I was advised that in utah, to knowingly(which he did) to leave the seen or not make a "reasonable effort" to contact the owner takes the charges way up. So I hope you find the guy..
But I have zero faith in police. My brother's business was broke into in SLC. He had $60k worth of cell phones and monitors and computers. After several weeks, boiled down to him having to insurance claim it. He even turned the gps's on(which showed two very specific addresses). Police literally told him "it's not worth our time".
If I see him, I'll surely cut him off for you though.
