Today, I've owned my dream car for 11 days. Someone backed into it while it parked at work, and drove away without leaving a note. A man at a nearby business knows who did it but won't tell me because it was one of his customers. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found my car with its front end smashed in. The offender was nowhere to be seen, but had left a helpful note that stated, "Sorry about your car but you can go fuck yourself because you will never find me. Muwahahaha!" FML
Today, as I left the supermarket, I found someone had hit my car in the parking lot. There was a note tucked under the wipers. Insurance details? Nope. It just said "Sorry dude. I fucked up. Good luck with the car." Great. FML
Today, my boss reported to the police that a suspicious car has been parked outside the store late at night. I walked outside and my car was gone. He had my car towed. FML
Today, my car was stolen. From my driveway. By the guy who sold it to me. FML
Today, I went outside and walked to my car, only to see someone had hit and run my car while it was parked. My insurance company deemed my car a total loss. The person who did this never got caught. FML
Today, I accidentally hit someone's car while in the supermarket car park. I left a note, went shopping, and when I came back my windows were shattered, my tires were slashed, and "FUCK YOU" was written on my windshield. FML
Today, I finally got enough money to buy the car I wanted for a year now. It was stolen today too. I had my car for 4 hours. FML
Today, I took my car to a car wash, and when I got it back, one of the rearview mirrors was missing. Someone knocked it off and the management refuses to cooperate on who was the thief. FML
Today, someone backed straight into my car as I was hunting for a parking spot. I just got my car back from the body shop after a hit-and-run. FML
Today, I was parking my car outside of my apartment, but the big truck next to the spot went over the line. I squeezed in anyway. Later, I discovered the truck had left and someone keyed my car. They left a note saying, "Good parking job, asshole." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Get the cops involved. The business owner will have to give away who hit your car as he would otherwise be charged with obstruction of justice for withholding important information about a crime.

Ok I'm not a law guru but I believe he has to say who did it as he is not supplying information of a crime. But hey as I said I'm no guru so I have no idea

If your dream car is something you'd leave outside unprotected, you aren't dreaming big enough.

That was a joke right?

People have jobs, buy groceries, run errands, and other things. Nobody has a garage every single place they go.

Sounds like he'll be talking to your insurance company (or better yet the police). Don't know Florida law, but that sounds like it should be illegal. Maybe there are some security cameras? I would involve the police (call the non-emergency line, be polite and calm, and hopefully they can do something. Or at least write a good report for your insurance, assuming you got it insured...)

Hit and run is a crime in every state, as is withholding evidence. It can be considered obstruction of justice or aiding and abetting. The issue is getting the shop owner to admit that he knows who it is that did it, since, if he lies and says that he doesn't know, the police can't do much more than question him. HOWEVER, many shops here in Florida have outdoor cameras for insurance reasons, and OP could likely go through the process of having the footage pulled so they can possibly get the license plate of the car.

Many buildings in non-residential zones are required by insurers to include camera surveillance in their security systems now, so I'd be surprised if the incident hasn't been caught on tape by even one security camera somewhere in the area. Also, you need to involve the police, because a crime as serious as a hit & run is likely a felony. It seems to me, impeding an investigation into a felony would also be very serious for this 'businessman'. I'm not a lawyer, though. FYL.

insurance should get it if the guy somehow gets away with it

That's awful! Hopefully you get the cops involved and find out who did it. Just curious, what kind of car was it?

Here is what you do OP. kidnap the guy and bring him in a dark room with one dim light, get a deep bucket, a cloth, and a chair. tie him down and waterboard him for the whole day. he will fold and give you a name.

Florida is a "no fault" automobile insurance state. Meaning that your insurance will be affected either way. Best of luck to you.

That's not the problem. The problem is that it became a crime the moment the offender drove off. Add in that people who hit and run are usually more likely to be unsafe drivers and to be drivers that don't have a license, have a warrant out for them, and/or have a history of other vehicular crimes, it's really stupid of the shop owner to not give up the details.

And can't you get him in trouble for that? 100% get the police involved in this.
