Woke up this morning to a neighbor knocking on my front door, then informing me that my car was hit overnight in a hit and run....Well Happy Easter to me!! So I go down only to find a red Honda Civic smashed up and turned sideways over a parking curb. And then my car.. passenger door smashed in!! (if anyone of you who know me, I call them speed dents.. but this one I dont know if its too speedy).
So the cops come out and give me the report and inform me that unfortunately I am going to have to go through my insurance for this b/c it was a hit and run and car and driver are unknown. Then a neighbor comes out and says that it was around 4:30 AM when he and his wife heard a bang and looked out and saw a few kids standing around and then leave and they saw the apartment they eventually went into. The cops knew about it, but said without the car there or anything there was nothing they could do.
My question is, I have already called my insurance company and made a claim with them, but what the hell should I do. I have full coverage with State Farm and I know it will be covered, but are my rates going to go through the roof for this shit!! I mean shit I was inside sleeping the car was just parked, and some jerkoff kids hit it and ran.. and now do I have to pay for it!!!
Here are the pics, if anyone has any good recommendations for body shops in South Florida.. or hell anywhere in FL let me know.. I want the best, and I dont really care about the money since the insurance company is going to have to pay for it!! If anyone can give me some advice (other than going to choke the kids out who did it - yeah I thought about it, but its not too constructive).. please let me know, I would appreciate it.
Have to find a host for the images.. but pics will follow soon..
