So why not pull the parking lot cameras and make this person accountable? I’m tired of the bloodsuckers in this town. Centurys finest at it again…..

regardless of how it was spelled, whether or not someone was watching, they should or shouldn’t have been driving… they at least took the time and apologized. sometimes that makes a bigger difference and more people should slow down and realize that. accidents are gonna happen…

Honest? Really? You call that Honest? Your insurance carrier might have
other ideas! YOU might have other ideas when you get your next bill!
Everyone has to pay insurance companies for people like this who don’t
know enough to find someone else to drive them to the store.

I do feel very sad that there are still people in this country who have such a bad education and are so ignorant. It is a very sorry mess and I wonder what this person may have contributed to this world with more education.

HONEST, however, does not have anything to do with trying to unload his chest
with this pitiful note, yet leave the mess for someone else to clean up!
This person isn’t even a grown up who takes real responsibility for himself.

regarding:
“YOU SHOULD NEVER POINT A FINGER!!! YOu should ALWAYS LEND A HAND..”

If you believe that, why are you pointing a finger at those who mock this criminal?

And do you REALLY believe you should always lend a hand even when the person wanting a hand is committing crimes?

Consider the wrongness of:
“Here, help me hold her down.”
“Here, hold this gun on him for me.”
“Give me a hand with this crowbar, this place’s hard to break into.”
“My match went out, lend me one of yours to burn down this occupied building.”

David thinking a helping hand should not always be offered
and that “their” is possessive form of “they”

To homeowner, give me a break….get over yourself…this person, whether they can read or write makes no difference…what they did was wrong….It always makes me mad when I see someone trying to defend someone who has done something wrong…..it is evident that the person who left the note did not do well in spelling class in school….however that does not give them the right to hit someones car and leave…..if more people would take personal responsibility instead of making excuses for their behavior then we would live in a much better world……

I admire Ashley for taking life as it comes, in good spirits. We should all try that. Hats off to her.

I had this happen at my apartment when I lived in Tallahassee. I had a note that said, “I touched the back of your car. I will pay for damage”. They signed it Dmitri and I cannot remember the female’s name, but they did leave a phone number. I called the number, and they had a foreign accent. I was in contact with them via phone, but had been trying to find a cheaper estimate on getting it fixed. When I found out it would cost more than $100 (after calling 3 places), the people decided they didn’t want to pay and ignored my calls. They would never call me back, and after doing some research online and finding that Dmitri was a PhD student at FSU and was working as a work study, I called FSU to try to get a hold of him. Lo and behold, he was no longer working there and had left town! So, what started as something nice became something bad. I wondered why they would leave a note saying they were going to pay if they weren’t willing to pay up! They could have at least called me back!

There are some honest people still in this world! Maybe not the best educated, but honest to some degree!

Ok at first, I was mad at the “note writer”
.
Now after reading Suzi’s comment-I want to take the person to my house and feed and love them. What a sweet story Suzi. Thanks for sharing!

If it is true, this could go several ways;
1) The person was genuine and sorry for the accident ( and I love them for it)
2) It was meant as a joke (no love here at all)
3) They were making it look as though they were leaving name & insurance information for any possible witnesses

Just goes to show you, you shouldn’t pass judgment until you know the facts.
I prefer to think this was a little old man/woman shuffling thru the parking lot with their groceries, slowly loading the load into the car, starting to pull out and scraping down the side of said victims vehicle.
At first, they hurry and get away from the car so no one knows it was them.
They pull across the parking lot to see if anyone witnessed the mishap.
WHEW! Looks like I’m in the clear. That was a close one!!
THEN the guilt sets in……and they see their Dad and Mom in front of them shaking their finger in their face “You should be ashamed of yourself, we raised you better than that!!”
So, ultimately the guilt wins him over and he looks around in the car for something to write on. FOUND IT! (thanks mom and dad!)
WIth his hand shaking, he writes the heartfelt note.

I think I’m gonna choose to believe my story.
