Got Hit in Wal-Mart Parking Lot
 
1 Attachment(s)
Went in to pick up a few thing and when got back to car the right rear fender area was hit. Not a tap but a pretty good hit. Deep scratches on rear fender. There was also a couple of small scratch at the top so maybe could have been a golf cart. The person that run into my car would have known it based on the damage. No note no nothing. Can't believe people today, just hit and run.

Maybe it was caught on Walmart cameras. They probably have them in the parking lots.

Happened to me at Billy's Cafe a couple of years ago, also no note. I had a brand new car and it got smashed. It was basically how sad too bad for me. Sorry this happened to you.

They do have cameras..

Bad people still exist.
 
There are a lot of people driving without insurance, insurance with minimum coverage, or just don't give a darn about others. I parked a brand new van out by itself at walmart years ago and a woman in a beatup,old huge car parked right next to me and her kids banged open the doors on the van. She acted like nothing happened.

I asked about cameras and they took my name and number and said they would call if they saw anything. I doubt if they even looked!

If you don't hear from anyone you might ask to talk to the head of security.

Wal-Mart
 
When I have to go to Walmart, I park on the most least likely traveled side, past the liquor store, and around the corner from there. Very seldom are there any vehicles parked there, so I know my car is safe. Might take a few more steps to get into the store but worth it to know my car is safe. The few dollars I save at Walmart aren't enough to cover the damage to my car when people side-swipe you, back into you, bang their car doors into your car, or leave their carts in a parking space to roll into the side of your car.

I make it a point not to park next to someone that has not maintained their car and already has dents on it. I am banking on the fact if a car looks good they will be careful getting in and out. I also try to park next to SUV's that have sliding doors and not those that open outward.

Any way the 1st we I was at The Villages someone scratched my bumper backing into it fram a parallel parking spot.

Oh Well !

That's why I park in the lower 40 whenever we go anywhere. I drop my wife and her Mom off at the door and park waaaaaaay out away from everyone. And so someone doesn't ask, I walk back out and get the Escape and pick them back up. No dents = me not pi**ed off.

We parked in the "lower 40" when our new car was only a few days old! Same thing happened to us on left rear. All we could tell was it was a red car or truck! Cost $750! Can't believe people!

We were at the Savannah center one night and saw a woman hit a car trying to park, then move to another space and get out of her car and start to walk away. I yelled at her "lady, you just hit that car". She then went back and put a note on the windshield of the car she had hit. I didn't check the note. For all I know it was a blank piece of paper.

Plus you get some added exercise in with the walking.
