Hit and run and run some more. * 2
    #22232905 - 09/13/15 05:46 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

So me as the idiot I am have been hanging out with random and apparently some horrible people recently
Unbeknownst to me my friend x wanted to borrow my car. Being the person I am I will lend the shirt off my back to most people.
His sob story was his daughter is in the hospital his car is in the shop and he didn't need it for long. He was going to give me 50$ to hold it for awhile. I asked to see he had an ID and everything and saw it.
Now not knowing him for long when I looked at his ID I took note of his full name because he always went by a nick name.
So the morning I was supposed to get it back I didn't hear anything. Around 1 o'clock I finally heard that he was going back to the apartment and I could come pick it up. Which was already a hassle in itself because it was supposed to be dropped off
As I leave to get it the time is 2:45. I am supposed to meet at 3:30 at 3 I get a call that my friend was driving and was hit on the highway by a truck. My car was thrown into the gardrail destroying 10ft of it and totaling my car.
The truck was able to drive off without problem.
I told my "friend" the driver that I was coming and I am calling the police and such. Well apparently this didn't sit well with the driver and he ran as well.
So I am told this by the police and met with the trooper and gave him the report. With the name I had which was apparently a fake name because it never came up in the system. The phone numbers I have don't track back to the person or any of his friends. All I get is unknown
I'm at a loss as of what to do.
Someone please tell me.
On top of this I recently had a credit cars stolen and maxed out as well as took out a loan with horrible interest for a medical emergency
Please...kill me now..

u gotta learn to say no, man..

im kinda the same, i have trouble saying no even to strangers, but ive learned to be less trusting of peeps and always question the shit out of em. it's now easier for me to turn someone down that i feel i cannot trust.

Honestly I feel for you man that is terrible, but I also think you learned a valuable lesson.

Was the car insured? Will your insurance not cover in this case? (Or the truck that hit your car)

A stolen credit card all you have to do is call the bank and notify them.

And don't take out loans. Fuck loans. :shrug:

OP when dealing with situations like this maybe it would help you make a decision to think about the pros & cons of the situation.

I will use the scenario you told us about in the thread.

Lending car to someone

CONS:
someone who IS NOT ME crashes MY car.
someone who IS NOT ME runs over a pedestrian while driving MY car.
someone ruins the interior of MY car.
(I could keep going but you get what I mean.)

PROS:
I don't disappoint my "friend".

Literally only one pro to the situation.

Outcome to situation: If person who is not me crashes or ruins my car, I will have to deal with the repercussions.

See how the cons far outweight the pros? I know it seems kind of silly but it actually works.

The best advice I have I think a lesson you already learned: NEVER lend your car to a friend

1. Don't let ANYONE drive your car
2. Supposed to call the bank and report stolen card/fraud charges.
3. Don't take out predatory loans

Whiff wham, problem solved.

No, absolutely not... Do not, ever, lend your car out to ANYONE. You simply cannot trust people. Even if you think someone is responsible, bad things can still happen... even if intentions are good. Just don't trust people with your shit.

Unless they're very well off/rich no one is loaning thousands of dollars at a time to a friend. So that doesn't really compare.

There is only one person I might loan my car to, and it's a long time friend of mine who isn't a drunk, druggy or shady. He also used to let me borrow his when he was practically living with us. I never asked to borrow it, I'd just ask him to drive me to the store or something and he'd throw me the keys while he kept playing Xbox.

OP there's not much you can do. You can maybe ask around to whoever you met him through and get his real name and make a police report about it. Not much will come of it. You can then sue him in (I'm guessing it's 5k or less total value) small claims court. That doesn't mean you'll ever see a dime though.

You gave him possession of your car. Whatever happened after that point is kind of your responsibility, shitty, but you're pretty much SOL. Unless you can prove he took possession of the car under false pretenses. Good luck with that though.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.


You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Thank you all for reading my story. Yeah unfortunately that's pretty much what I have concluded
Don't trust anyone with my stuff anymore. And just let everything else ride out with insurance.
Time heals all I guess. I just hope I don't do any time for them running from the scene.
Luckily I do have good insurance on my vehicle and hopefully everything will be covered
