Got hit and run'd



So my sister borrowed my car out for the week in Toronto. While she was parked in Chinatown somebody smashed my car and drove off. My sister didn't call the cops instead she just drove off and is on her way home to Ottawa now. The vehicle's insurance is under my name. What should I do?

I have full coverage, but I'm just scared because I wasn't the one driving it.

Hate to say, that looks more like the driver scraped a concrete pole in a parkade rather than any vehicle impact.

well... I wasn't going to say it, but that was my thought as well
It just doesn't fit the pattern of another vehicle.

^Agreed.

Especially on the passenger side when it's parked?? One way street?

the left side of the damage makes no sense. you can see the scratches end at the deeper part of the skirt. if it was a car then the damage would continue to the higher points of side. looks like someone backed up into a pole, stopped and went forward

I was going through a list in my mind of what kind of vehicles draw all the way down to 4 inches off the ground to just under a G's window... I ran dry.

So +1 to the suggestion and good luck. Hope she doesn't work for 8 bucks an hour.

I can't be too judgmental... I drove over a likely similar post with one of our 8x8 crash trucks- mind you, the pole got the worst of that interaction!

i guess you ll find out really what happened, if you ask some tricky questions to your sister, it definitely looks like she was trying to do a right turn on a corner and grind the side. in any case damage is done, GL with the repairs.
