Parking lot scratch. Ouch!

[JeffKeryk]

This is my friend's 2007 TSX, one of the three I service. He came out to the parking lot after work and noticed something was amiss...

 

[wwillson]

I'm sure someone politely left a note on his wiper, right?

By the looks of that mirror, something was amiss before the scratches.

While it's too bad-body work on that car (since it's an '07) will have little to no effect on resale value should he ever decide to get another car.

I thought it was mighty nice of the perp to tape the mirror back on....

 

[JHZR2]

I would have my doubts that someone that hit it would duct tape the mirror back on. Sure it isn’t an excuse made out of embarrassment? Sure… some vandals did that… not the concrete fixture on the way out…

Yeah I should have put a or in my post.

I was thinking that damage looks very much like what was on the passenger door of one of our trucks when wife didn't remember the metal bollard and turned into it while leaving a parking space.

 

[dishdude]

Yeah that damage is not from being hit while parked.

 

[Owen Lucas]

Does he need help fixing a garage door frame or exterior wall at his place as well?

 

[Nick1994]

Sorry, but there's no way.

The damage started from the front, you can see the front of the door lip pulled back, and it went down. He hit something or another car.

And that kind of damage is not from some other plastic bumper of someone in a parking lot. It was something very vertical without much curves. It's also the entire length of the car, so if someone hit him while his car was stationary, odds are they'd have only hit 1 or 2 panels before stopping. Not 4.

 

[CharBaby]

Oh WOW! Sorry to see that.

 

[wemay]

Your friend has no problem lying to you..
My opinion.

 

[Lubener]

Maybe security cameras may have caught the act in progress.

 

[demarpaint]

Delete.

 

[bullwinkle]

Wow, somebody needs to be on the lookout for a runaway concrete wall (or pole)!

 

[PimTac]

Looks like a guardrail sideswipe.

 

[Pablo]

I don't see other paint or evidence...........close up shows no black bumper or paint..?..........hmmm............

 

[joekingcorvette]

With a good compound that should buff right out hahahaha!

Sweetie did something similar to her Prius. I was in the passenger seat at the time. Somehow she was oblivious to what had happened, and when she finally saw the damage, honestly felt someone had hit her. She wasn't lying; she was mistaken.

The suspect was captured on cctv running away from the scene.
