Good thing (for my automotive hoarding impulses) I live in a jurisdiction that has inspections!

was the perpetrator headed back toward the street? When it happened to me it was the left side.

Yeah, that's the bizarre thing: being hit on the right side! The perpetrator's car -- VW Tiguan -- ended up on my sister's lawn. She also mowed down the kids' basketball net.


I asked my sister if any of the neighbours have doorbell cameras. Only the immediate next-door neighbour does, that she knows of, but it's on the wrong side of them to show anything useful.


This is the 2nd parked Camry that's been totalled in my family. My brother lost one to a hit and run about 20 years ago.
