Encino Drivers Suck!

Above, my poor Mustang this morning.

This week is starting out lovely.

I had to buy some pet supplies at Petco in Encino this morning and was only in the store for about ten minutes. Upon leaving the store, I immediately noticed some damage to my 89 Mustang. Some "nice person" decided to back their vehicle into mine while I was in the store.

No note was left. A classic hit & run.

Being an experienced adjuster, I took photos of the damage and notified the LAPD of the incident. I noticed that the store has a security camera aimed at the parking lot. I contacted the store and notified them of the incident. Their manager will review the security tape tomorrow. I informed my insurer, State Farm, and the LAPD of this possible security video of the accident. Hopefully, they can get a plate number and reach the responsible party. If so, hopefully they have insurance. If there's no tape of the incident, I could make a uninsured motorist property damage claim and avoid paying a $500 deductible.

Regardless, I have to wait a bit to get the repairs started as the other car, a 2000 Mustang, and driven by my daughter, was involved in an accident last Thursday night.

When it rains, it pours!
