Okay.. so here's a crude drawing since i'm so artistic:
Green vehicle was going to park in one of the stalls to the right, but realized they didn't have enough room to make the turn. Started backing up.. meanwhile, beige vehicle has driven into the parking lot and is not paying attention. Bump. Green vehicle was backing up at a little bit of an angle in relation to the beige vehicle, but nearly straight. This is the supposed damage caused by a 2" trailer hitch (without the ball installed) just this past Friday morning, Dec. 12.
A couple things have me suspicious..
1. You can clearly see quite a bit of rust around the crack.. can that much rust form in 5 days?
2. There is NO paint transferred on the hitch of the green vehicle at all. So scuff marks, no scratches, nothing.
3. Not 100% sure about this one, but I'm not convinced that a completely flat square hitch could make that cut at the angle of impact..?
My gut tells me this person is trying to have the green vehicle pay for old damages. Thoughts?
I think the next step would be to take a measuring tape and measure from the ground to the hitch on the green vehicle, and from the ground to the crack on the bumper..
