Truck is barely a month old and some tool left a nice vertical crease in the passenger fender. Probably gonna need a new fender. Good grief!!! What kind of lame jerk just hits your truck and doesn't even leave a note???

lots of tools out there man... A few years back somebody keyed every car parked on the street in front of my house and my brand new Grand Cherokee was one of the casualties... I know the feeling of walking out to your new vehicle to find that horrible surprise. It really sucks. My insurance took care of me and hopefully yours will too.

Bummer. No shortage of lame asses out there who do that. I came out of the dentist office one day to discover some 80 year old grey hair backed out and dragged his mirror down the side of my van leaving about a 4 foot long crease. No note, just drove off. I put a curse on his transmission!

AHH been there and done that. I had a drunk fall against my fender and it left a deep veridical crease and dent. I called a local PDR guy that I was told about. $100 and he pulled and repaired the dent and you cant tell it was ever there. As long as the paint is not cracked you may be surprised at what a good PDR guy can do.

No cameras to record it and nobody saw anything apparently. It was a 10 minute window in a fairly busy parking lot just outside my kids karate school. Oh well, maybe I will get some use out of the insurance premiums I've been paying all these years. Wish I could have caught them though...

I did that once at Lowes when my F150 was 2 weeks old. I'm walking through the store when I hear, "will the owner of license # please come to customer service".

Some guy says sorry I hit your truck. We go out to my truck and my rear bumper is mangled and his front bumpber is mangled so I'm like dude wtf how do you rear end me parked in a parking lot?

He says he hit the remote start in his F250....and the truck started in gear....and motored across the parking lot and rear ended my truck.
