Default Go away on 9 day work trip,come back to rear bumper damage!!paint cracked after impact!!!gutted!!

Parked as i normally do in my airline crew security carpark,put my car cover on and went to work.On return 9 days later i take cover off to find damaged shattered paint on my rear bumper
!!Wouldnt mind but just spent a small fortune having my paint done a few months ago,when fitting my arch extentions!!And the paint job on my rear bumper was perfect!!Not happy!!
Funny but if i had done it myself i would accept defeat and get on with it, but knowing some fat arsed hostie hit my car then drove off makes me sick!!
So back to paintshop,and more money on paint for no reason other than some ***** carnt drive.

Default That sucks man, sorry to hear. Will insurance cover it? At least some?

A couple year back my car got backed into while I was putting air in my tire. Then the guy drove away! I ran after him and caught him at the traffic light. He said he didn't do it. He hit the back of my car hard enough that he knocked me off the front fender that I was leaning against. I just took his plates and call the cops and insurance company. They dealt with it.

Good luck with yours.
