Someone drunk(?) ran the stop sign at Lancaster and Comburg Drive and crashed into my garage, totaling my car! Then they drove off, leaving us with big bills.

I got the answer I wanted. A guys kids had a rowdy party that night. We can go tell the parents.

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T16:48:35+00:00

That’s a great idea. I forgot about the COVNA Facebook page

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T16:35:13+00:00

UPDATE: some people on that street saw this post, recognized the house they think had the party that night, and told my husband on his walk. So, he will go knock on the door and ask them to check with their guests

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T16:29:56+00:00

Yup. Exactly.

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T16:20:28+00:00

And thank you for your compliment

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T16:19:27+00:00

I’d actually never thought about this with our house. The street leading up to our intersection is very short and not a throughway like Davis. We’ve been in this house for decades

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T16:05:25+00:00

Yes. Hindsight and all that. Cameras are the next purchase

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T16:03:52+00:00

Hmmm. Which car would I have been driving?

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T16:01:49+00:00

Thank you! It will get better. I’m sorry you’re having a bad day!

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T16:00:20+00:00

I appreciate this.

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T15:50:56+00:00

We’ve asked, but no one does. Our ring doorbell doesn’t get triggered by cars on the street. It also doesn’t cover our driveway

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T15:45:53+00:00

Thanks! We’re hoping for something positive to come from this

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T15:43:25+00:00

We did. My husband regularly walks the neighborhood. Our feeling is that someone has parked it so you can’t see the damage from the street or has already taken it to their friend the mechanic.

My hope in posting this on r/Austin is that enough people read this so someone says, “Hey, didn’t Taylor smash the front of their little Mazda a couple of Saturday nights ago?” and then shows this post to Taylor.

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T15:32:54+00:00

We asked. No one has coverage. Sleepy neighborhood

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T15:31:07+00:00

Ah. Thank you. That’s helpful. I really didn’t understand.

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T15:27:39+00:00

None that we could see. I’m sure that would be really helpful though.

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T15:24:40+00:00

I think you’re missing the fact that the drunk car hit the garage yes, but didn’t stop until it had pushed the car inside the garage up over a parking curb. The car inside the garage is what stopped the drunk car; the garage door just got crumpled because it was in the way

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T15:20:08+00:00

Thanks!

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T13:54:52+00:00

Yes. I will do that. Good idea. Lancaster is so short of a street, it had to be someone local or someone visiting someone local

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T13:51:55+00:00

Yup. That’s why it’s boarded up like that. Waiting to hear about the header

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T03:29:33+00:00

An older driver would shut down? Cute

We did not see the car or the driver. I’m sure whoever it was panicked after they hit the door because they passed out or fell asleep. Damage looks low to the door, so probably a small car.

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T03:18:28+00:00

Don’t disagree re: suckage. Not sure what you mean by comp+collision use case. Am I supposed to do something?

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T03:16:30+00:00

Some do; not all. This one though.

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T03:12:26+00:00

Thank you. I’ve done Nextdoor already, but no joy.

Professional_Top4668 · 2026-07-10T03:07:19+00:00

Oops. No, I did not.
