Glad you & woman are doing well, Jim.
My wife was in a hit & run. She was on a main 4-lane road, waiting to turn left onto a sidestreet. Meanwhile a car on that sidestreet was waiting to cross straight through. Apparently he didn't want to wait so he t-boned my wife's car, mainly the drivers door and right behind it taking the damage as the door could not be opened. She spun around and after a few seconds of shock, realized the car kept going. She flew after him and called 911 on the cell, while reading the plate. She lost him after a few minutes after turning into a trailer park. She drove back the the scene, called me & her step-dad and waited for the cop to show up. The plate was stolen. Cop didn't do anything. Thankfully she still had full coverage insurance and didn't have to fit the $3700 bill.
About 6-8 months later she spotted the car at a corner store, engine running no one inside and no keys (80's Olds Cutlas). She parked behind them, called the cops, FIL & I were together and saw her turn around so we followed. Hmm, red pant on the right front bumber, different stolen plate. Owner had stories with holes. Cop shows up and didn't do anything. Just that the car could not be driven home. Quite the ass.
Anyway, life sucks. Carry good insurance.
