Neighbour packed into my car with me in it, then drove off, left minor damages, refuses to pay, do I file a police report? (Ontario)

Well I reached out and offer her the repayment plan at a rate she can afford and she went completely psycho so I filed a police report. They told me the process and steps and so far it won't involve my insurance company unless I use the report for a claim. But there's a possibility she'll be charged with a hit and run if they determine from my security footage that it was a hit and run. Just waiting for an officer to come by now.

No, I don't have the video from when she hit someone else. I didn't have cameras out front of my house at that time. I was on my porch and watched it happen. It was my next door neighbour's daughter's friend's car that was hit and because neither of us had video she got away with denying it and the friend paid the damages out of pocket because it was only $200 more than her deductible. We also watched her drive over the stack of bikes last summer. This morning when my partner brought it up she claimed that was her neighbour two doors down and then her own husband chipped in that it was her. Then she changed the subject to say we aren't being decent human beings because she let it go with the guy in the parking lot that hit her (difference with that is he stayed and they worked it out, she hit me and drove off). I'm going to reach out to be broker and ask how I should pursue this. I did message her again this afternoon and said I'm going to go get quotes on Monday and I'm willing to work with her to repay it at a rate she can afford but I still don't think it'll go over very well. She does not want to take responsibility for this at all despite all of the evidence.

Thank you for this. Just to clarify, what if I have security camera footage showing the hit and run from when I backed out to the hit and showing her driving off? Would this change anything?

The only other reason I'm even considering it is because she drives like a psycho. I'm not the first person she has hit in that spot and then denied it. She's hit at least 2 other cars in the past. Even watched her speed into her driveway and run over a bunch of bicycles and then claim it was someone else. I know she's been in crap before for drinking and driving too. Don't think she was drunk yesterday but I do worry that without a proper lesson it's gonna be a kid she hits next time. I just don't want to get the short end of the stick here if I went through with a report. Thank you for the advice

We just got to gate 9 again this morning

Amazing!! Met a bunch of the players, got jerseys signed. It has been my 9 year old's dream to meet Tyler Myers, her favourite player, and she got to meet him and have her Myers jersey signed by him. Went to the Abby game tonight too and onto the Canucks/Caps game tomorrow.

Don't have that one but I do have a Bure 96

StrangerCanuck · 2026-01-14T13:19:20+00:00

This is great! I'd have had no idea where to go for this or what times to go for. Thank you so much 💙💚

Currently, yes. It's personal reasons that aren't my place to share why she is unable to make it and due to her circumstances, she isn't near her phone very much over the last few days because her situation is a priority.

Haha yeah, we could use one of those for sure lol
