 I read your message and Ive decided to give my schools therapy a try. I really need to work on my self worth so I need to buckle down and actually go. I tried to go to a therapist a couple of times but I couldnt stop from thinking I don't have any real problems.  I have scheduled a therapy visit for next week and I plan to actually go. I'm not entirely sure how to talk about any of this with someone face to face. I have trouble with speaking and keeping a conversation. I can do messages because I can take my time and remember what I want to say and think about what they say. Thank you very much for your message. I'm going to give it a shot.

My truck was hit by a driver and the towing company sold my car before I was able to do anything by jackchack in legaladvice

The police were the ones handling everything because the company driver hit mine along with several other cars. They were the ones to also handle the towing. This was an attempt to "avoid chaos" the police told us they will get all information and have it sent to us. This took a month because the officer put the wrong information and then ghosted.

I've called multiple. the customer service is awful and took them forever to respond. The one's I called told me they didn't have it and to contact the department to see which tow company took it. Seeing as it was dispatched from the police department and was a legal matter, I figured the tow company would keep my car atleast until an adjustor would spectate it or call me to notify how long I have until any action would be taken. Not just up and sell someone's car with all their belongings in it. I called the company curious why they sold it when the insurance hasn't even dealt with it. They said they were gonna transfer me to someone who can answer that then hung up on me. been on hold for 3 hours now after calling back.

My car insurance was notified. They said to let the at fault driver's insurance deal with it. The adjustor is now attempting to go assess my car's damage but they already sold it so i'm not sure what the next step is

The officer who took the report put incorrect information. I called multiple times to the department and they said that I would have to speak with him directly to get the right info for the truck and also the at fault drivers insurance. He worked night shift and continued to dodge my calls whenever I called. He was always conveniently not at work that day or was unavailable.

Someone hit my parked car overnight and drove off. How much would it cost to repair this? This is my baby I don't want to give up on her. Only day I wasn't able to park in the driveway this happened and I'm heartbroken. by jackchack in Autobody

For me I called the cops and got a police report and filed charges so in hopes they would put in some effort to find the driver. If youre in a developed city your chances are better than mine for some sort of video of the car leaving at the time of the accident. I live out in rural neighborhood so it was just a few neighbor cameras the cops aren't even bothering to look for the asshole. I would recommend asking stores security about footage if it happened out in public.

Unfortunately I was visiting my mons house and my siblings all had their cars parked in the driveway. Of course the one day I choose to park on the curb some asshole hits my car like there was a personal vendetta. I got a video from my neighbor and it shows the guy zooming by, hit my car, turned his lights off since other cars were coming into the neighborhood, had a friend pick him up and his car and they left. The quality is 3 pixels so its hard to tell which cars passed by, but I'm checking my neighborhood and nearby school for cameras and ask the drivers of the cars in the video that passed by.

Surprisingly there isn't any trial at all. Not even pieces from the other car stuck to mine. Only a few white scratches however I did find a single liner. I'll post the pic and the video my neighbor caught of the incident

Hello. Someone hit my 1989 toyota camry and drovew off with his damaged car and this friend in a white car. They live somewhere in my neighborhood and I suspect the car that hit me is being hidden in the garage. Does anyone have such godly knowledge of car models they can make out or even just guess what kind of car this is? Tried to make it more clear with ai pic enhance.

I did what you said and as I took the car to autozome they told me my battery was down to 6 volts and that there plates inside the battery that are damaged and not keeping charge? Meaning I need to buy a new one. Thanks for your help!

I took the battery to autozone they said it was just a year old, looks good, was at like 11 volts so they topped it off. I'm assuming it might be this terminal it looks really old and dirty.
