{"Car Accident"] This guy is trying to screw me over...

Like all the other rants I have on here, this will probably be long, so stay with me...

So, I just was awaken by the police department out of a dead sleep. I'm in a dead sleep. I left work about 5 hours ago, and have to be in in an hour (that's a whole other story). Anyways, I go outside, and the cop is standing there talking to this guy. The guy has been moving things out of the duplex below mine, so I've seen his big, white ramcharger parked near and around my driveway.

I ask what all this is about, and the cop asks me if I think I could have possibly hit this guy's truck with my car. I say, "If I did, I never felt it or saw it, but I guess it's possible."

He asks what this little mark on my left rear bumper is, and I say that I have no idea, which I don't. He says that they match up. They kind of do, but not really. You see, I have a grey Ford Focus and he has a huge White ramcharger. On my car is something that looks like residue from a bumper sticker, or just plain mud. It's grayish in color, almost matches my car. NO OTHER DAMAGE. I'm not sure if they even line up.

His truck has this rather large dent in it with a black scratch through it. Hardly something my car, with no damage, and conceivably no paint from his truck, could have done.

Secondly, I ask him what time he supposes this happened, and he says about 5 o'clock. I was not home at that time. I woke up at 1:45-ish yesterday (Worked 3rd shift), and purposely waited until he left, and took my dog out, then got in the shower and left. He was not here when I left at about 3PM.

Third, the dent is right in the middle of the driver's side of his truck. I'm not so stupid that I never would have seen a big white truck directly behind me, or noticed the impact (if the impact caused that much damage to the truck). The cop said I could have had my music up too loud or something. That's baloney.

Last, the way I went on the street yesterday, I could not have possibly hit his truck. I backed almost into the driveway across the street. I would have noticed his truck had it been there.

The cop is supposed to call me tonight. Hopefully, I'll get the call while I'm at work. I'm not paying one single cent to this douchebag. To the courts if we must.

I've just never been involved in any sort of accident, and it seems very peculiar, and kind of unsettling that somebody would call the cops on me for something like this.

The guy's just trying to get money out of me.

 

I took a couple of my car. He's gone.

I know I probably shouldn't have said that, but I was going on 2 and a half hours of sleep, and had just got up.

I guess I've learned not to be so passive. No way this thing holds up in court, though.

 

I'm currently trying to find two receipts. I was out running errands when the guy says the crash occurred. I could go on and on about reasons as to why there is proof of my innocence. I'll take a polygraph, I'll pay for paint evaluations. I'd rather go to jail than give this guy a dime, just out of moral righteousness.

Manny, I've never seen the guy in my life. I think he found a dent in his car today, was mad, and saw my car, with something on it, and called the cops on me.

 

I found one of the receipts, and that'll prove that I wasn't home from at least 4 to 4:45. After I went there, I went out to dinner, and I believe my girlfriend has that receipt.

I called for the officer in charge, and he should be calling me back soon. I hope he can come over and see me, and look at my car, so that I can prove to him that it was not me.

People are just ridiculous.


After reading this thread, I hope you go out and do something abnormally nice for some stranger.

 

I just talked to the officer. He said he wants everybody to meet up at my place tomorrow to re-enact it. The guy says it happened between 5:30 and 7:30 yesterday. I WAS NOT home AT ALL during that time. I've got credible people to prove this.

He said that the real estate agent that is listing the place below me WAS in my driveway at that time. She's in her 80's. He says her car checked up. I don't believe this.

So, basically, if the damage on his car matches up to the spot on my car, I think I'm getting a ticket for something I'm completely not at fault for. If that happens, what can I do? I've never had a ticket before (of any kind). Can I take it to court?

Any idea how much it costs to compare paints? The cop says they only do that for accidents that people are hurt in.


I did not do this, and this is pissing me off royally. I'd rather sit in jail than pay this thing.

I believe it was the real estate lady who is in her 80's.

 

He says that most trucks don't have nearly the strength in their sides as does a car's bumper.

The truck is a GMC...I was wrong on that.

I just don't understand. I WAS NOT anywhere near my house between 5:30 and 7:30. The lady's car, I believe is black. My car is grey. The paint smear in the dent is black. She WAS in my driveway between 5:30 and 7:30.

Are these people dense?

I think I'm being blamed because I'm a 21 year old kid, and most people think that kid's my age, in general, are irresponsible.

Here's to stereotypes!

 

I have a receipt for Wal-mart, like I said for 16:21, and the dinner receipt is in the pocket of a pair of pants at my girlfriend's house. It is for 18:30. Her entire family can vouch for me being there until 2200.

The accident happened sometime between 1730 and 1930. I don't understand....
