Note left on my car (1 Viewer)

"I believe you hit my car when you were pulling in. There is a pretty big white scratch on my bumper. Please call me."

Then it includes the name and number. Not sure if they're referring to yesterday or another day. My gf was driving the car yesterday so can't know for sure either way, but guess I'll have to call them tomorrow to chat. Gf just took off for the evening and found the note.

Any particular steps I should take or questions I need to ask?

Obvious question: does your car match the scratch?
No idea. Haven't seen it. No idea which car is even theirs. There are a lot of white cars in our lot and with it being an open lot we get a fair number of folk without permits stealing positions for nearby bar runs Friday and Saturday nights. 

 
Don't call them unless you know you or your GF did it. Nothing good will come from calling them and denying it. 
I definitely did not. Not positive the gf didn't as I wasn't there. With it being an open lot, I'm nervous about possibilities of just ignoring it entirely. 

 
Hate to break it to you but from what you have described it seems pretty obvious that your girlfriend is cheating on you.

 
Not sure if shtick or not, but that's a fishing note. If that person's car was hit, they don't know who and are trying to get someone to confess to it.

Here's why:

1) "I believe...." -- Not confident language

2) No date and time

3) "When you were pulling in"

Think about it, if you saw someone hit your car, the note would say you saw it. And you would note the date and time. And if it was while pulling in, then you go speak with them then.

So this person has no proof and didn't witness it. If you know you didn't hit the vehicle and your gf does as well, then not much I'd worry about. You can call the number and just tell them you didn't. If you're worried, call your insurance company first and explain situation

I think he's asking if there is anything on YOUR car.

 
Tell them to rub off the white paint and then the scratch will match the color of their car.  Problem solved.

This is exactly how you know it's a scam. Common color of "victim's" car. Random note devoid of detail. Throw note away and move on.

Not sure why this post bothers me. Probably because it reminds me of a bad encyclopedia brown book. 

When else would a car parked next to you have hit your car? If it was while pulling out, the offender would be gone. This isnt pixar so i dont think the cars drove around and raced alone sans drivers. So while pulling in is the logical conclusion.

This note is dumb. This kind of stuff happens. Your gf very well could have done it. She likely wouldnt have had any idea if she did. It also could have been somebody parked in her spot before her. It also could be this scratch was there for two weeks and this guy dropped something and he finally noticed it.

What i can tell you from managing a fleet is that going down the road of discussing it is dumb. Neither side will budge. You could show your girlfriend a video of her struggling like crazy to get in the spot and her looking down at the bumper after and since security camera footage is never clear enough to see a scratch on a car she would swear it wasn't her still. 

Flip it where the guy has a video where there was no difficulty getting in and appears to be plenty of space between the cars but your gf's car was the only one that parked there all day and he too wouldnt budge and would say something like your car is the only car that could have done this since the scratch wasn't there before that.

You call the insurance company tell them about the note and tell them your gf says she didnt hit the car and that there is no new paint missing from her car. Tell them you think it is a scam attempt and dont want to give out personal info.

Ask if they have video of the incident.

No video then it didn’t happen.

 
OP I’m often drunk and feeling saucy. Feel free to PM me the number and I’ll call them and get the details.

Great post except for calling the insurance company.  Absolutely no reason in the world to involve them at this stage. 

 
I wouldn't call anyone. It might be interesting to Google the phone number though.

 
Couple years ago I was in a parking lot parked in my car and watched a young girl pull in with here brand new Jeep Wrangler, side swipe the car next to her, gets out and walks inside.

She either didn't know that she did it or she didn't care. I waited a few minutes and the owner of the hit car came out, I explained what happened and gave him my business card if he should need a witness.

I didn't hear from him so I assume it was handled.

I would give your front bumper corners a real good inspection. Woman driver in a vehicle that isn't hers ... might not be real good at judging the corners of the car.

(very sorry to the good woman drivers in here and everywhere ... but there are enough bad women drivers to justify the stereotype)

 
Not related to the car posting scam, but figured I'd to post somewhere:

While I was out of town, my wife was using the home computer and a "VIRUS DETECTED!" screen came up.  The screen said that it was a note from Microsoft virus protection services (or whatever) and that she needed to call them IMMEDIATELY in order to save the computer. 

Of course, she called the number, and then gave the person at the end of the line remote access to the computer so he could go in and "fix" the bug.  Oh, and she gave him her credit card number because it was $99 (or whatever) for the services they were providing.

So, my wife paid someone $99 so that they could hack into our computer.  It's a computer I never use, so I also didn't know that she had a Word document on the desktop named "passwords" that has four pages of . . . you guessed it, passwords.  Bank accounts, financial info, the works.

As she was watching the person use the mouse to violate our hard drive, something struck her that maybe this wasn't a good idea.  So she unplugged the computer and called her brother that works for Google to ask him about it.  He apparently yelled at her so much he made her cry.

I think I might have married @bostonfred's wife's long lost sister.

This morning i am walking to the elevator and hear a door whack into another car.  The young girl that just left a monster door ding in the car next too her had no clue she had done it (on her phone the entire time of course).  I was going to say something but i wasn't sure it would do any good.

Do did your girlfriend do it?  Is she a terrible driver that may have done it and not noticed (see examples above)?

The area code is from two states over. The number itself doesn't show anything significant in Google searches.

She once backed into a rebar enforced fence. Another time she drove over a concrete median. 

I checked the car for any dings but the only noticeable scratch has been there a couple years.

If i missed it in the OP i apologize but, did  you ask her if she hit someone?

I did. She says she didn't. Assuming the alleged swipe happened when she last came home, she arrived when the parking lot is usually somewhat empty and spots are easy to come by.

Sounds like something an elderly person would fall for.  No offense.

The good news is your wife watches innernet porn while you're out of town. :pickle:
