Sorry bout your luck there. That really sucks. I know how you feel, someone messed up my work truck last summer at Walmart and just took off. I'd have loved to caught them.

so im pretty sure who did it,
theres six cars in their driveway, i knocked on their door and no one speaks english
the night i saw the dent i looked at all the cars, one GMC truck had black scratches on it and missing chrome
went back today, scratches polished out, still missing chrome
measured the height of their bumper, 25 inches, measure where the dent is on my camaro, 25 inches
and i have chrome paint on my car cover where the hole is

police dont care
