Last night, I was startled awake by Katie running into the room announcing, “Your car just got him by some drunk guy!” Nice thing to wake up to…
I got up, put on some shorts and wandered, maybe stumbled – I wasn’t yet awake, outside. I went to look at the damage to my car as the drunk pulled into a parking space across the street. He said, “Hey man, did I hit YOUR car? Let me give you some money to get it fixed.” I told him that he would have to talk to my insurance agent (my wife) and looked over at her. She was on the phone with the police.
Minutes later the police showed up in force… five cars in total. They arrested the drunk, took statements, and then I went back to bed.
End result? My car has a bit of a scratch above the rear drivers side wheel well that will need to get fixed… once I can get the police report to the insurance company.
