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 you can't figure out who it is, file a comprehensive claim. -jake from state farm

This one of those very few times where I think it's actually reasonable to threaten a lawsuit most people will usually open up pretty fast over something like that

Isn't that obstructing justice? Go to the cops, he has to give away any information regarding a crime

What kind of car is it?

I'll answer as much as i can... My dream car is a Scion FR-S. Not a Ferrari or anything but i love it and i worked hard to earn it. This happened at a building next to my job. My employees saw a guy make a 14-point parking job next to me and park at a crazy angle. He is the one who likely hit me while pulling out (that's what she said). The business won't tell me because they 'can't be 100% sure it was him.' Which i understand, but if i could find him, I could at least see if his car is damaged. That would show the truth. Tried to make a report, but sheriff's office just told me to fill out a report online to Highway Patrol, and they likely won't follow up. Only avenues left to me are to ask the business's landlord to pressure the guy for an answer (the landlord is the founder of the company i work for) or to ask a detective friend to help a little. Both are longshots. Probably just on the hook to pay for it. People suck.

Not most people's dream car but they are pretty cool! Auto or manual? And sorry this happened. They're such beautiful cars.

Call the police. Obstruction of justice !!

Get the police. He has to tell you, and he will be given a ticket for aiding a criminal.

Actually, this would not fall under obstruction of justice - and certainly not aiding and abetting. Obstruction of justice would require intent to subvert an investigation (such as providing false alibi), however the Fifth Amendment (right to remain silent) protects the business owner from any kind of prosecution - very simply, you don't have to provide statements or testimony to the police, whether you are a witness or a suspect, though you can't purposely lie to them or mislead them (note, there is a difference between not answering a question and lying). Beyond that, as others have mentioned or pointed out, the odds of getting the police involved in a "hit and run" investigation over a fender bender in a parking lot, without any injuries or serious damage, is practically nil. The only practical solution is to have a conversation with the business owner and convince him it is the right thing to do, and/or, you will ensure that the vehicle's owner does not learn where the information came from. Or you could go take a look at some of his regular customer's vehicles and see if any suffered damage/paint transfer from your vehicle.

Go outside his store and drive away all customers
