So today i went for a drive to visit my sister, so my plan was to hit 3 birds with one stone.
First bird was to pick up a small 8 ohm speaker for my model train ( check )
Then next item was to get my old 200 bar dive bottle filled, but as no luck would have it one of the kids was working the dive shop, and he sure as hell would not fill my 200 bar bottle as it should have been inspected 5 years ago,,,,, and i can not blame the kid he have his order.
And that was then the "bad luck" and #2 bird.
#3 bird was a meal at my sisters place, to make arrangements for help she need from me come Monday.
So i drove from the dive shop to my sisters place and parked, was there for a couple of hours, and then doing the dishes i looked down at my car parked 1 floor below, and now my car have a big ass dent in the rear ( thats the really bad luck )
That was really annoying and i of course had to run down to check my car, and found this.
So now we come to the good luck as of course my A229 have been running parking guard, but just for the usual 1 hour on the timer,,,,, so i was a bit apprehensive, but hey who can be that unlucky.
And then good luck was underlined as a little old lady next door opened her window and said she saw it all, and had taken down the plate on the car.
She also told the woman driving the black / dark car had been going against traffic on the 1 way street, and then as this is right at the entrance to the road, she encountered a car wanting to go the right way down the street, so the woman reversed right into my car.
BUT ! the old lady also said the woman hitting my car wrote a note and put it in my windscreen,,,,,,,, but she returned 5 minutes later and removed it.
Anyway i was sort of relaxed as the little 100 YO lady had taken the plate, but i was of course still anxious to get home to see my parking guard recordings.
So as a gentleman i thanked the little old lady, and arranged with my little sister to look for dark / black cars with a dent, so i took the street we was on and so did sister, she then went downhill to check the next parallel street, while i went up hill and checked another parallel street.
But none of us found any dented dark / black car.
So now there was nothing for me to do but drive home to inspect my memory card.
And that trip was also uneventful, bus as you can see from the thread name i am still down 1 really bad luck and some good luck.
So ! i got home and took the 256 GB Kingston card in the A229 camera, and for good measure to document i was parked legally also the 128 GB memory card in my K2S side system, so i put both cards in my shorts pocket and exited my car in a almighty downpour and ran for cover.
And this is where the bad luck check in, cuz walking up the stairs to my 2 floor apartment i found out my pocket had a hole in it, and my 2 memory cards was gone.
This is where it is fortunate i got my buzz cut on Tuesday, so no hairs to pull out of my scalp as you can not get a grip on 4 mm.
So a short sigh session while it stopped raining and i was down by my car to look in the gravel / small stone in the back yard to look for my memory cards, full knowing the chance of just finding one card was slime to none, still i spent a good hour walking back and forth hunched over,,,,, which my poor old back did not like, and then it started to rain again so i gave up.
I still had the little old lady plate capture, so i looked up the number and it was a unlisted color VW touran from 2007, with a 1.9 diesel motor in it, and on its 10 owner, also found out who insured it.
Still i called the cops as it was after all a case of wrong way driving, and also hit and run, and with a plate and a witness it should be a hit out of the park for them, but the police couldn't really be bothered but did take down all i said in case insurance come calling.
So i went online with my insurance company and filled in all the stuff for them, but then after that as it still rained i figured why not play a little kamkar PI.
So i hit up google street view at my sisters address, and found hot she is right there in the door with her cat she walk on a leash
I was parked just about where the grey car are in googles picture.
Thats #43 my sister live in, so i scrolled down the street to #17, and wouldn't you know a black VW touran is parked right there in googles street view from January.
So i think we have a address for the winner in " who have been a naughty girl" even if Google have blurred out the plate on the car.
Anyway back the the good luck i still owe.
So it stopped raining again and even if it was just afternoon i brought my BLF Q8 flashlight to most of all help my eyesight focus on a smaller area and not drift off in the mess that is the stone / gravel surface in the back yard where i park.
So i spent a good hour walking back and forth, this time a little more upright as my back had enough after the first search session, but still to no avail, so i gave up on the back yard and focused on the 12 - 15 feet of gravel / stones on the front of the building i walked thru in the rain running close to the building to get to the front door.
And even if i had looked over that particular ground several times before,,,,,, well i found the 256GB card from the A229 camera,,,,,, so i put on a spectacular on the street running around cheering with my arms in the air.
Still. The parking guard recording stopped before the event so i have no cool footage to share with you guys.
But just go to prove, done trust 100 % in your dashcam and its capabilities, if you can always get witnesses involved to be damn sure, i was lucky a little old lady fell from the sky, otherwise as i no longer have full coverage on my car, i would have been so out on my ass.
