so tonight, i take my car out to the grocery store to pick up some stuff and when i go to load the trunk, i notice a hole the size of baseball in my rear bumper next my license plate. WTF!

i only took my car to one place today besides the grocery store: oakland chinatown where i parked in that parking garage.


just called my insurance company to start the claim. looks like i will have to pay the deductible out of pocket. @#$@#) how much does a rear bumper skin and support thing cost for the 05/06 sedan?

 

oh yeah, where should i go to get the work done?? thinking about heading back to john @ international autobody...

 

Ouch! Sorry to hear about the bad news.

Best of luck to you in getting it repaired.

 

Trailer hitch?

 

That's a big hole. Wtf? They were trying to steal your gas?

 

Exactly what I was thinking. Damn hillbilly mobiles!

 

sorry about the accident =(. i got a hit and run last year, a couple days after my birthday. what a great birthday present..well i just got my car fixed recently and it looks flawless i love the shop i went to! i see you 're from oakland so check out H & H body on e12th and 28th??? two blocks away from fruitvale bart station. i can pm u their contact info. tell the owner the girl with the DG coupe recommended you maybe you can get the hook up

 

G*d damn, that really sucks man!! I'm really sorry to hear that something so sh!tty happened to you.

 

take it's to the shop.. ask them for an estimate.. for example: if it's cost $300 to fix, tell them put it in $500.. send the invoice to the Insurance.. and you got $200 in your pocket..

 

Do not under any circumstance tell the shop to put a higher amount on the estimate. That is insurance fraud and you will end up with zero and a jail stay. The insurance company knows what the prices are for parts and repairs. Stay out of jail and be honest about it, take it from an insurance guy.

 

sorry dude...was it at the pacific renaissance plaza off webster and 9th?

 

+1...don't try it.

 

Wow, baseball sized hole? You have no idea what could've done it?
Any video cameras?

 

yep. went to shan dong for lunch with a friend. !@#*@#)

 

i will check with the parking garage but i doubt it.

my guess is that it was a trailer hitch or someone who really didn't like my car and vandalized it.
