Broke my rear view mirror and shattered the housing for the most part, and managed to put a gash in the sidewall of my tire. All without leaving a note or anything, which is to be expected. But how the hell do you hit a parked car!!! Seriously

Ill put pics up later...still at work brewing
I hear ya, and I understand exactly how you feel.

In 2004, my 1970 GS455 clone- which had just gotten all new bodywork, weatherstrips, ect, looked like a new car again was sideswiped while parked. The girl who hit it tried to run, but was stuck on my car. I've had that car since I was 17, in '89, I've built everything but the transmission and rear end myself.

In 2008, on the same street, my '97 Rivi was sideswiped, and the person made a successful getaway at night.

On July 4 of this year, somebody hit my '07 Sol GXP while parked, and then screwed.

So, I understand how you could probably and quite cheerfully strangle the a-hole that hit your car!
