My damage is $1000 in round figures...took me 3 visits to different cop shops before I could "convince" someone to take a report. Basically they won't take a report if they think it's below $2000 in damage...like they are experts in resprays and fibreglass
They didn't want to make the report, it was as plain as day. I had the rego, type of car, colour and I even tracked down the security camera footage showing the incident, and they still didn't want to do it.
2 months down the track I've heard absolutely nothing.
Best of luck Eug with tracking down this old bastard and making him pay.
