Aw, I'm sorry to hear about everyone's problems.
In August, my car (while parked on the street in front of my house) was side-swiped by a hit and run driver.
Luckily, there was a car coming down the street who witnessed the entire thing, got the guy's plate number, etc. So they eventually picked him up (he only lived 3 blocks from me) and the guy even admitted he had been drinking, but because the cops didn't get to him until he was already at his house and out of the car, he played the whole "oh, I was nervous so I had a drink when I got home" thing and the cops couldn't do anything. they gave him a ticket but that's it.
My car, on the other hand, was 10 years old and my insurance company totalled it. So I had to purchase a new car and now have a nice monthly payment because of that a**hole.
Oh, and I also wanted to go after the guy's insurance company to pay for a rental car while I was shopping for a new one, but the guy has the same insurance company as me and they told me nothing could be done.
So I can totally relate I'm just glad everyone is alright in your situations.
