We are not in a villa, we are in Woodbury. She parked on the street and the cleaning lady pulled out of the house across the street and didn't turn enough. Admitted she was wrong and told my wife not to call police or insurance offering $100. The door is off line and won't lock, so not an option. Accident happened at 4:00 so wife called non emergency number but they said too close to 5 when they stop so told her to call 911. 2 hours later no police so she called again at which point police officer called her and said they "don't respond to gated community " she told them this was the villages and all they had to do was "push the red button " he said that didn't matter, just exchange information. Like I said, in the past on a trip to disney in a rain storm a work dump truck decided to go into reverse at a red light and crunched into my rental. He took off, claiming he wasn't aware. We had to chase him down, exchanged information like we do in Michigan and left. When I contacted the rental company they said we needed a police report, but that was obviously too late. I know some states (NJ when I lived there) are not "no fault" states and insurance wants police report. Our agent in Michigan is trying to figure out if insurance here will cover or if we are on the hook and have to go after the driver, in which case I would assume a police report would come in handy. I am back home in Michigan so was just wondering what the protocol was for accidents in the villages. Maybe cop didn't want to be bothered. I'll ask if she got his name. Doubt it as she was cold and passed off as she watched it happen.
