Some maggots dropped something heavy from a pedestrian overpass...it hit my car as I passed beneath. Fortunately; I was changing lanes when it hit or I would have been wearing in the middle of my chest It was three Asian kids of the 10 to 12 year old age. They were gone seconds later when I looked back...split like the little cowards they are(not all Asians; just these three). This overpass was the scene od several similar incidents a few years ago. One woman was killed when a television was dropped on her car and another fellow in a truck was clobbered by a football sized boulder. He spent months and months in facial reconstruction surgery. I guess I was lucky but the $500 deductible is something I really didn't need right now |

Sorry to hear. It is still important that the police has records of this kind of offense, cause whenever they catch the little bastards they can blame all the offenses on them. Of course they wouldn't send anyone chasing two kids with too many time on their hands, but someone may catch them in picture someday, or slap them as they deserve! Take care! |

Thanks Ferd and all you other guys, I have decided to do just that; prevent rust and advertise the stupidity of some people's children! The car is used and does have a few blemishes but they are all of the scratched paint type. Now I have one that has a definite and real story BTW...I'm happy to say that I am alive to tell the story When I reported the incident to the police who service that area; the nice lady who took my report, told me that they get an average of three(3) repots a year of this kind of thing at that same location!!! Hopefully I was number 3 for 2012! |

Straighten and painting a fender should be 150 - 200€ tops. :o Have you asked for estimates? I guess body work is utterly expensive over your side of the world... |

Over here, auto body work is a big racket with over inflated hours; replacement of parts that are unnecessary and gouging the insurance companies. |
