Car hit by "elderly" driver

Sunday night I'm packing up and notice . . . the dent. No note, letter, nothing... I look around and see a car the same color as the paint on my door with a huge dent in the real quarter panel. I walk up to the house to ask the homeowner if he happened to back into my car. "Yup" he says. My Jeep was parked in Marshfield in a perfectly legal spot, off the road. The "elderly" driver backed out of his driveway, clear across the street, into the yard I was parked in and smacked into my Jeep. I asked to get his info and he can't seem to find his registration.

Ohh, he also asked me to not go through the insurance company. Probably doesn't want to get his license taken away. "He knows a guy that can fix it." Which I wouldn't mind doing as long as it gets fixed right.

So now what do I do? I got his name, license plate, address and phone number. The damage wasn't too bad, but it is noticable. The only reason I want to get if fixed is because I may have to sell the Jeep. I just don't want to get screwed.

Good thing there were no kids playing in the yard.


My goal in life is to be the kind of man my dog thinks I am.
