I'm so sorry. When the Police run the tag, they'll be able to tell who it was. It will just take time to locate the vehicle and people. Of course, you know they probably won't have insurance. It isn't fair, is it? These people are given a free ride.

It ISN'T fair - and thats the truth! :mad: It makes me FURIOUS because now we are going to have to pay a $200 deductable to get my car fixed! Provided they don't have any insurance of their OWN that will pay....which is pretty much a given :mad: :mad: :mad: I have OTHER important things that I need to spend $200 dollars on!! I cannot believe I have to shell out this kind of money because of some IDIOTIC kids that don't look where their going when they are behind the wheel!! :mad: Kids like this have NO business operating a moving vehicle! :mad:

Both Jeff and I talked to our insurance company this morning on the phone. They first called here to speak to him since he was the one that was driving, but of course he's at work. So I gave them his cell phone number and they called him after they talked to me and took and recorded his statement over the phone. She said that they are currently working on locating them. She pulled up their license plate number and said that they are working as fast as they possibly can to find them. And ME....I'm sitting over here just WAITING for the call!! :mad: :mad: :mad: I cannot lie, I am going to do the HAPPY DANCE when they find those little sh!ts!! :mad: :mad: :mad: Excuse my french, but I am still so steamed! :mad:

OMG Brooke, so sorry to hear about the mess! I hope your mom is going to be ok.

Gosh I too would have been SOOOOO upset. They have the nerve to take off. Thank goodness you took their license down and they track them down. These kids REALLY need to learn a lesson and be punished, talk about immature....a hit a run will really stay on their records. I hope they are BANNED from driving for awhile. and I sure hope their parents (who obviously didn't teach them better) shell out the $200 deductibe. This is so UNFAIR to you. They need a good spanking on their toush. If I were the parents, I'd be livid.

OMG! I don't blame you for being mad at all! I'm so very glad the accident was not any worse than what it was and hope and pray your mom is going to be okay. The kids who hit you showed a total lack of care or concern for you, your mom, or your husband by fleeing the scene like they did. Now when they are caught (and I have every belief they will be), they should face tickets for leaving the scene of an accident, hit and run, no insurance (if they don't have any), and I wouldn't be surprised if the driver is also slapped with a wreckless driving charge. Being teenagers, their insurance (if any) just soared through the roof!!! Don't be surprised if they called mom and dad and said the car was hit while parked or someone backed into them and left the scene - what a shock it will be to parents when they find out otherwise when the cops call.

Keep us posted!!

Brooke,

So sorry this happened to you. I can't believe the police here in Texas. I had a similar incident where I was stopped at a train crossing. when the train cleared and it was good to go (I was the last in a long line of cars) a pickup truck came barrelling into the back of me! Thank goodness I was able to steer away from the car in front of me or (as the policeman informed me) that would have been my fault and responsibility even though I was pushed by the pick up.

I called the police and since he didn't see the accident happen he said he couldn't do anything!! Can you believe that? It was a hispanic man with no insurance that hit me. I kept saying but, he doesn't have insurance you CAN give him a ticket for that! After about the 3rd of 4th time of me insisting he finally gave him one (or at least pretended to). Of course the man gave a false address and my insurance company had to pay for everything, resulting in my rates going up even though it wasn't my fault.

Somethings just aren't fair. I am just glad you didn't have any worse injuries. But believe me, I can sure understand you being mad!!!

The people who hit us were also hispanic, and I betcha money they had NO insurance either! Otherwise, they would have showed it to me, and wouldn't of fled the scene!

But oh my goodness....are you KIDDING me!?!??! :eek: :mad: Now in that situation, I think I would have had smoke pouring out of my ears!! :mad: The police officer saying that he couldn't DO ANYTHING....omg, now THAT is just INSANE! :mad: What the heck are you supposed to do, PLAN when these things are going to happen, pick up your cell phone and CALL the cops and tell them to come WATCH! :mad: Oh that just makes me furious.

And for it to be YOUR fault for hitting the car in front of you (should it have occurred) because of someone that hit YOU from the back is just completely crazy! When I read that my mouth just dropped. That is COMPLETELY and ENTIRELY out if your control!! :eek: :mad: OMG...just INSANE! And for YOU to have to TELL her officer to give that guy a ticket for having NO INSURANCE...OMG, are you SERIOUS!?!? What is WRONG with these cops! Do they just not give a crap or WHAT!! :mad:

Oh man, reading what you just posted makes me even more TICKED OFF that I already am! :mad: It just totally frustrates me how the "laws" here in Texas work sometimes! :mad:

Yes! As I was telling someone in a PM - if I were their parents, they wouldn't be seeing the light of day for a WHILE! :thumbdown Some of these kids just make me sooooo angry!!! They take absolutely NO responsibility for their actions what-so-ever! And it shows that their parents OBVIOUSLY didn't do their job!!! I know that it would be a cold day in HELL before I ever fled the scene of an accident like that! :mad: My mother would have blistered my rear end! LOL.

I agree, at the very LEAST, an apology would have been nice :mad: But they had the, "Oh well...I'm going to get away with it so I don't give a damn" attitude going - which made me LIVID. Who knows what on earth they will end up telling their parents - some kind of crazy, off the wall story I'm sure :mad: Oh if they ONLY knew!! :mad: And I DO hope that they get slapped with every charge in the book! Provided they are caught of course...which I am still keeping my fingers crossed for! :mad:

The insurance adjuster just came to our house and did an estimate on the body damage. All $520 dollars worth :mad: :mad: :mad: As he was taking pictures of my car, he was asking me about the little FREAKS that hit us :mad: and even he said that he is going to keep an eye out for their car, LOL!!

Lucky for me though - and I didn't even think of this before :rolleyes: my brother is an AWESOME, very well known mechanic and knows someone who owns the best body shop in town - so I am going to call my brother this evening when he gets off of work and tell him to get in touch with Mr. Matula! (the body shop guy) and see if he can't do the work on my car for the EXACT price of what the insurance is wanting to pay - that way I DON'T have to cough up the $200 deductible :thumbup: I know this can be done...so at least THAT'S good news...now if only we get MORE good news saying they caught those little...... well that's all I am going to say! :mad: LOL :mad:

We had a client who hit someone and drove off. Someone heard them talking about it and turned them in. Police went to their house and contacted the parents, they charged the kid with a hit and run. They'll find who hit you sooner or later. Just a matter of time.

P.S. I'm glad everyone is ok.

Thanks girl :) That definitely gives me high hopes that they will catch these kids :thumbup: I will keep everyone posted!

I would be pissed too!

If they were teens they were probably nervous as hell, maybe they weren't supposed to be so far away from home..or maybe they weren't supposed to take out mommy or daddy's car? That could be a reason as to why the sped off. Who knows though. Hopefully justice will be served!

Can't the cops contact the cops in the town of where the teens are from? I would check into that.

I hope your Mom's gonna be o.k as well.

i think you can still do something if they were not there with the license. i know my bro in law hit a car at the beach from behind and the didnt ticket him then cause he left not a hit and run butthey just said yeah yeah its ok and left and the guys turned it into their insureance along with the info they exchanged and the santa barbara or whoever sent him a ticket in the mail for unsafe speed with a trailer and for conditions and such and he was like what they didnt even site me then but they upheld it and he had to pay a fine
