Pulled into the strip mall parking lot to go to a restaurant there. Driving down one of the isles, I saw a car backing-up from the parking on my right. Problem was she just kept backing and backing and backing into one of the ONLY cars parked in the near empty row across from her! My passenger said "Oh, sh*t she hit it!" and I saw the car shudder and she stopped, then kept pulling forward a bit, looking back, forward, looking back, yelling at her passenger. I saw a couple standing by their car a few spaces down waving at the woman and gesturing; their faces made it obvious she'd hit the car. As she pulled away and started passing me I could see the football + sized dent she'd left in the car's (a very NEW car) bumper! I tried to grab my phone and get a picture of her, but had to move out of traffic. By that time she'd seen all of us watching her, decided she wasn't going to stop, cut the corner of the island at the end of the parking row, jumped the curb and took off. My passenger and the other couple got the plat and I got the make and model, so I called the police.
Long story short, police found the owners of the hit car in the restaurant I was going into. The police met with them and began looking for the suspect on the roads and the vehicle's registered address. (I got a good look at her, but doesn't mean she's the owner of the vehicle). The owners thanked us for reporting it and I wished them well.
Depending on if the owners simply decide to trade insurance information or press charges, I may or may not get called as a witness to court.
Ahh, what fun!
