The Christmas present I came out to this morning:
They didn't leave a note. Since the car is 12 years old, I don't have collision, so my insurance will not cover the damages. Ironically someone smashed the other side 2 years ago and drove off, so now at least it matches. I suppose symmetry is beauty.
Yanno, I just wrote a several page long post outlining my thoughts, anxieties, and general ranting about various items that have been stolen from me over the last few years. Now that I feel better having loudly banged that out on the keyboard, I've deleted it all to spare you the details. I leave you with this:
I refuse to play be a victim here.
I'm thankful for my health since I was not *in* the car when it was hit, so now I am going to work towards fixing this situation. As for the Honda, I'm going to donate it to charity - most places can accept totaled vehicles for parts. But I'm in a little trouble because I need something to get around since I am sort of on the road for a living.
Okay, options...options..
