redneck hit my car and drove off

[toplessmustang]

I was driving down the road and some redneck in a pickup truck turned into my left front fender, wheel and bumper. Got out of the car to exchange information with him and he backed up and drove off I got his license plate number and called the state police.. they showed up 1.5 hours later.. and said there wasn't much they could do! They wouldn't even run the plate! I then took it upon myself to have a cop friend of mine run the license number and discovered that the guy had prior hit and run cases already pending against him! Even the district county attorney said there wasn't much he could do either but I am still trying to file a lawsuit against the guy. Anyway...long story short, any reputable person on here have a stock front bumper for a 95 GT? Or a driver side fender they would sell? I am thinking about ordered a prepainted one off of Ebay. Any advice? I just had liability on my car and I can't afford to have it fixed at a body shop. Thanks, David

That sucks man. I hope you find the parts you are looking for. Since you have his info it might be a nice time for a brick through his windsheild. God knows the prick deserves it.

the guys sounds more like an oxygen thief than a redneck but if you live in kentucky you shoud know that 90% of the population there can't drive I only spent 4 months in kentucky and the very few times I was out driving around I saw personally how bad the drivers in your state are.

 

[toplessmustang]

yeah if nothing happens im paying his car a visit at about 2 in the morning.

that sucks man, good luck with finding parts
now that i think of it, i actually have a stock gt front bumper....im pretty sure its in good condition
what part of kentucky do you live in?

 

[toplessmustang]

i live in springfield, but if you have a good front bumper i'll pick it up. what would you want for it.

 

[donkey_punch]

That sucks. I can't believe the law's so f'd up as to not do anything about it.

 

[MysteryMachine]

why's everything gotta be a redneck we're not all bad geeze

Sucks that it happened can't believe the cops won't do anything about it seem like the don't wanna fill out paperwork

Topless, I am in Shelby Co. and had a similar incident happen. Just raise some hell and the State Police should help you out. It is a crime and thats supposed to be their job... I could maybe see their position if you didnt have a plate number, but since you do, they should at least follow up on it and pick up that shytstain for his previous warrants...

Sorry to hear that man,but how come you didnt go after him when he drove away,or was the car too damaged?

 

[toplessmustang]

Sorry but I sold my stock bumper a few months ago, would have sold it to you if I still had it.

Depending on the officer and the department, some police are lazy asses...

go to the station, demand to file a report with an officer, have all the information on the guy written down and ready to go, write down the officer assigned to the case, and then call him/her every day about it until the guy is prosecuted. Besides the slash-his-tires method, that's the only way to make sure your interests are fairly represented. Whoever said the police don't want to file the paperwork on it is absolutely correct.

now, wait.. somethin about this just doesnt jive..
you say, the police have pervious hit and run records on the boy, and yet they wont do anything??

Another thing, true, .. the police can be a tad slow, but an hour and a half?.. common man.. I have family in law inforcement,.. I cant speak for every county.. but that is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too long.

Another point, if you can "prove" it.. he is responsible, to pay damaged,.. one way or another. press the issue,.. dont let the man walk scott free.

Odds are, if he left the scene, he didnt have insurance at all. wich,.. is a crime by itself.

So, you could hit him with , hit and run, uninsured motorist, leaving the scene of a crime...

Drop the hammer dude..

I'd be raising cain for the police to do something. For them not to do something is just wrong, why have laws if the cops are not going to do anything.
good luck
