Hit and Runs...

[ucubed]

If that's where you parked the car then I would have to assume there is no other location for your accident to come from except those particular neighbors. Since I know the layout of the neighborhood, I would assume that someone was visiting that house at the time and backed into it from the driveway. Though probable, but unlikely that someone who was parked parallel to you on the other side did a 3 point turn into your car. I would suspect those neighbors are indeed involved, but it is possible it wasn't them at all.

Did you consider the other car to cause the damage?

I'll probably just get it repaired out of pocket, with the deductible, police report, and all that hassle and insurance rates, including reacharound time (is that the right word?). I dont need another headache.

At least we had a little mystery out of it.

oh..the word i was looking for was turnaround time.

Many carriers will in fact jack up your rates for a hit and run with no police report. Check with your agent.
Get estimates and see where you fall as compared to your $500 deductible.

Marc,
Trust me, no way that damage is related.
That bumper would never withstand that damage caused to that fender with such minimal resulting damage.
Also note vertical line. Too perfect. That is from backing up into a fixed, straight object.

I agree with you.
I think it may have very well been due to that driveway, just not that car.
