Actually, I'd file the report -- and fast. If you get a cop that actually cares, they can take the paint samples from your car and match them to hers. Then not only does HER insurance get to pay -- she also gets a lovely ticket for not reporting and leaving the scene of an accident. Since she's flat-out denied it to your face, it's the least you could give her for Christmas. Glad you took photos, too! Don't remove her paint off your car yet!

do it do it! It is just not right to damage other people's property and deny it. Don't dispute it with her further. Get those paint samples and show her the definitive proof!

you want I should tawk to her?

Man... I think I've been watching the sopranos too much.

But yeah, file the report. It certainly couldn't hurt, though it may be a tough case. Depending on where the damage is, the insurance co might go "How do we know you didn't hit her?" Insurance companies suck. They do everything in their power not to pay a cent.

Just an idea though, take Jay with you to talk to her again. Maybe say something like "Hey I'm not expecting you to pay for it, I just want to know what happened so this doesn't repeat itself"

Sugary? Maybe. But by you saying you don't want payment, she may open up, and you have a witness in Jay. Cause you can always change your mind about not wanting her to fix it :P

Anyway... good luck with whatever you do.

Definitely file the report. Just seeing a cop show up might cause her to have a change of heart. Ask the cop to have a forensic unit stop by and examine the damage. They're trained on this sort of thing, and could be sufficient evidence that you wouldn't have had to see her hit you.

You gotta love it that all you have to do is deny you did something to get away with it. Once these two kids who worked at a Blockbuster we used to go to, swiped my credit card number. I *knew* they did it becuase they called some stupid sex line using MY card number FROM THE FREAKIN" BLOCKBUSTER. Not only that, turns out the only working phone is in a room that THEY ALONE had access to. As well, the times these calls were placed - these two kids were the ONLY ONES THERE. If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, it's a freakin' duck! - that is of course unless it says it ISN"T a duck - in which case we throw our hands up and the cop says "Well, they said they didn't do it, so there's nothing we can do". freaks... (sorry for the rant) :)
(Do call the cops, though. Even though they won't do anything. At least there'll be a report - especially if she DOES IT AGAIN! Also, giving her a little scare that there's a police car there wouldn't be so bad) ;-)

Or if you want to be immature, you could find someone to slash her tires. ;)

Okay, that was evil. But I agree with everyone else, keep the pics, file a report. No harm in trying to get it fixed.

I also agree. Do it. Speaking of Karma...she's got some bad karma coming her way for not leaving a note and then LYING! Stupid wench!

I'm with everyone else on this one. It's amazing what they can do with paint samples.. I also like the idea of slashing her tires. If she asks, just say 'I didn't do it.' ;-P

do you know any lowell cops? any regulars that stop by the center? don't feel bad -- call in a favor -- the world totally revolves around i'll scratch your back and you scratch mine. i know you don't have time for any of this -- but the vengence (sp?) might feel good?
