Warning to those in Calgary visiting LFS in SE

That sucks about your car and how rude some people are!

I had the same thing happen a few years ago, used to park at 39th Street to take the train downtown. I got home afterwork and the back end of my car was sticking out in the street, thought I had parked like an idiot. Got to my car, there was a note stating my car had been hit. I walked the side of the car along the street and didn't notice anything, thought no big deal. Started driving and my passenger mirror was flopping around. Pulled over and the whole right side of my car was banged up. Was weird as this was parked along a green space with a parking lot slightly above grade. An employee had left a standard truck in neutral and it rolled back into my car. Anyway, I had a quote for repairs, showed it to the guy and said pay half as I had no intention of repairing the car (was a beater) but needed the cash for the balance of a house down payment. We were both happy with the end result, I was thankful he was honest and left the note.

My boyfried drives a big truck with work trailers and clipped someone in a parking lot. He didn't notice but someone else did and got his info and reported it. Once he was made aware, he paid for the repairs to the other driver. If someone hadnt seen him do it, he wouldn't have known (or so he says, but I believe him.....)

Wow dude, that really sucks. At least it's fixable, but still, what an unnecessary headache.

Thanks all but at the end of day this is just a friendly warning regarding parking there, I'm over it so no sympathy required, it's just a car. The only part that really bothers me is that some people can't even take the responsibility, there is just no way someone wouldn't have realized they hit my car. I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford nice shinny things but I would never intentionally make someone else suffer because of it, even if the person was uninsured I would have at least tried to work out something with them, if they had stuck around. Rest assured there no place in this society for these kinds of people but there is a special place in hell reserved just for them.
