So I went to local oreillys and was inside trying to find a part for my buddy's dodge (we are swapping in new motor), when someone comes inside saying "that big ford just backed into white chevy and he's leaving". I have a gmc and I get these trucks are often lumped together, but I didn't pay attention until the guy yelled it out again and said "he's leaving parking lot". I look up and out at my truck and said wtf. I took off running outside and he was gone to next light and making a left. Well my truck is no speedster especially with a long block sitting in the back. So I called the cops, the guy that was hollering out said he would stay as witness. Now I know my truck is not the prettiest or the best, but none the less it's a work in progress and my only means of transportation. I was more mad the guy took off. Cops arrived and got my information, the witnesses information, and just so happened they guy who hit me left his receipt on the counter. The cops were able to track him down and we had a meeting at the police station. Pretty much the young guy, age 23, panicked and took off. He said he was scared and didn't know what to do. Was very apologetic and assured he would take care of everything. He said he doesn't want a criminal background and will fix the damage, I told him if he takes care of the damage then we won't have a problem. So accident report filled and hit and run case is on hold. I was 23 once and did stupid things, I'm not the type of person who would want to makes things difficult for people in the future, so for now I have all the guys information and will put my trust in his word for now. I just wanted to vent and share with you guys.
