It Comes Every So Often




Well, just Monday, February 27, I got my car out of the shop for being hit in the Kroger parking lot. No note, just a banged up bumper and side damage from what appeared to be a shopping cart pushed along. Lucky for us, it was covered under our uninsured motorist part of the policy. Well, this Monday, March 5, we got victimized again. This time we were at the stop light in Chubby Hubby's car, (right in front of said Kroger) when a "man" trying to flee from hitting another car decided to squeeze between us and the car in the next lane. Needless to say, he hit us both. Did he stop? No, he tried to run from this scene also! We, and some nice witnesses, were able to give chase and get him cornered about half a mile up the road. When the police arrived he was promptly handcuffed for outstanding warrants. He will have had at least one night in jail to think about what he did. So far, there is no indication that he had insurance, so once again, it will have to go against our insurance. I think there should be better ways to track people that do not have insurance to keep them off the roads. Ours is the little red car, his is the black truck and of course the culprit in handcuffs.

  1. Oh dear...what next? I guess you have to pay the deductible? My parked car got hit in the mall parking lot one time and the person left a fake note on the car.

  2. So did the note say "Everyone watching thinks I am doing the right thing by leaving you my name and number, but I am not"?
