I friggin hate people who...

bang their door into your car. On Tuesday, 11/08/11, My wife and I were in my car, outside of her place of employment, having lunch and reading the newspaper when this lady pulls in, right on the stripe, and proceeds to bang her driver's side rear door into my fender, just behind the pass side door. She hit it hard, and so my wife rolls the window down and the woman quickly says, "It didn't hurt anything". My wife looks a little closer and OMG, yeah it did hurt...it hurt badly. Not only did it scrape the paint but it also put a nice dent in the side of my otherwise flawless car. It's survived more than 7 years but now it finally has a big nasty dent. To say I am pissed would be an understatement.
So the lady seems to be sorry and provides her name and telephone #. Well the number is incorrect. The person that answered says "Angela Johnson" does not have this #, but several other people have called for her at this #". Apparently I'm not the only one she is running from. 727-678-9667
We took photos at the scene, including her Florida tag # - 757 LWY. The vehicle, as you can see, is a Chevy Blazer 4X4 LS. This occurred, of all places, at the Pinellas County Courthouse on Court Street in Clearwater, FL.
After being unable to reach her by phone, I called the Clearwater Police. Apparently unless someone maliciously causes damage to your car, there is nothing they can or will do. More frustration... To me, the only difference between this incident and a 'regular' car accident is the fact that the cars involved were not moving.
If anyone out there in the Mustang Community has access to the information I need, (her address, actual phone #, real name (if that is false too), etc.) I would greatly appreciate it. Please PM me.

Thanks!
Chris

Hey Brad, good info - much appreciated. If I am unable to find her address and/or phone # this weekend, I will call the police again on Monday. (In my area we have city police and county police. I called the city because I have had good experience with them in the past, but I also may try calling the county police - I may have better luck with them. I can lean on the fact that it happened it their Court House Parking Lot and the fact that my wife is a county employee too.)

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that someone can throw their car door open and smack the hell out of your car...and you sit there and watch them do it...and the Clearwater Police say there is nothing I can do about it. (And they wonder how road rage starts...!?!?)

In addition, before someone asks, Yes, I do have Auto Insurance, but like a lot of people I have a $500 deductible. I'm pretty sure the repair bill will be over $100, but I am quite certain that it won't be over $500. That said, I am considering contacting my Insurance Company just to make them aware of the issue. They have accident investigators (with access to to the info I want) on their payroll. They may be able to help without impacting my current insurance premium.
