Pfunk You should have never said a word about this to ANYONE, let alone the police. What you SHOULD have done was stake out the parking space opposite yours, and when the culprit comes back to visit you have to kill him- that's the rule for when one man touches another man's car- he must die. Otherwise you're a sissy.

I think the rule is that if you don't at least maim him you are a sissy.

seriously, your GF should sue the MFG of her car for building such a easly damaged bumper, "caused considerable damage to bumper, $1500 "

it's time to bring back real bumpers made out of steel, not the airodynamic fairings made out of plastic and foam that they call bumpers.

she should find a "class action " lawyer and sue the MFG, her insurance co and what ever govt agency that mandated that the whole front of a car should collapse in a 5mph "collision"

'Bumpers' today are basically glass fiber covered styrofoam.

I don't know why they even bother putting them in - they absorb virtually nothing and are expensive to replace.

Older cars with REAL bumpers are preferrable to the egg shaped uniform cars with no personality of today.

I'll take an '85 Volvo against Ripsnorts BMW bumper-to-bumper any day. Care to bet on the outcome Ripsnort?

You were correct in filing a police report.
If you have a good relationship with the neighbor, then speak to him. Most likely, he won't admit to anything, and this will tip off the person that did it.

You have no recourse against the person you suspect had the guest that did it, even if they did admit to knowing the offender.

If you don't think the neighbor will give you the name (assuming it was his guest, and not another's who just parked in his spot, or someone in a completely different apt getting dropped off) then I would just not say anything and hope you see the vehicle again. Your other alternative is to ask the neighbor, and if you don't get some info, then post signs around the complex hoping to find a witness.

Either way, you won't get anything from the tenant, and will most likely have to take the offender to civil court if you do in fact find the vehicle. While the police most likely won't press charges against that person, they should give you their information to file a civil case.
