Guy Notices That Someone Hit And Run His Car, Finds A Hilarious Note From A 6th Grader

ADVERTISEMENT

If you have a car it’s likely that you have been the victim or offender of a hit-and-run. Whether it’s just a scratch or heavy damage, it’s just common courtesy to leave a note when these situations arise, however, not everyone is so polite. Beyond poor manners, it can be extremely costly to repair your vehicle without the other person’s insurance provider.

Recently college baseball player Andrew Sipowicz found out his car had been hit

And while he wasn’t there to see who damaged his vehicle

He found this note from an anonymous bystander that was happy to help him out

The note reads: “If your wondering what happen to your car. Bus: 449 hit your car. It stops here everyday to drop me off. At 5:00pm. What Happened? She was trying to pull off and hit the car. She hit and run. She tried to vear over and squeeze threw but couldn’t. She actually squeezed threw. She made a dent and I saw what happened. Sorry. Driver seat left door. A lady in the bus driver seat 999.
Buffalo Public School Bus. A 6th grader at Houghten Academy”

The grateful student made sure to show his appreciation on Twitter


He later said that the kind student has been found

People in the comments were amused and impressed by the note

A BIG shout out to the parents for raising a child who not only knows right from wrong, but also acts on it. "CHARACTER - is defined by what we do when no one else is looking". That kid has character in excess!

His parents truly did a good job, but let's not discredit the kid's good deed just because he's a kid. Kids are so underestimated by the adult world.

Last sunday my brother hit a parked car whilst riding his bicycle. He's diagnosed in the autism-spectrum but still had the capabilty to write the owner a note, saying he hit the front left side (how it happened, who knows, because he's always kind of dreamy) and his phone number. The owner called later on sunday admiring his honesty and they filled in the insurancepapers together that evening. My brother does have insurance, that's why it's so important to have one. Both he and the owner of the car don't have to worry about damage which can't be paid. I'm frickin' proud of my little brother.

I saw a guy pull into a parking space and smack into the car in front of him. He then proceeds to get out of the car with his family and goes in, not even stopping to see if he caused damage. So I get his license plate and the plate of the car he hit. I walked inside the store and had the owner of the vehicle that was hit paged. By the time he arrived at the counter, the clerk had called the police and they met us in the parking lot. Shortly after viewing the situation, the police officer had the guy that hit the car paged. He comes out..all angry at the cops. And when he sees me talking to the cops, he comes up and starts yelling at me that it was none of my business. I said "You made it my business when you walked away." He got a ticket for hit and run, driving without insurance and driving on suspended license. If he had gone into the store and had the guy paged to tell him about the accident, he probably would have avoided a few thousand dollars in fines.

On a sadder note, I also saw a woman back into a truck so hard that she dented the fender and shifted the tailgate to where it wouldn't open. She never paused, put her car in gear, and drove off..but not before I got her plate. I called the cops and had the owner of the truck paged. One officer met us at the store, another met her car at her address they had on file with the DMV. She was in her 80's, wasn't even aware that she hit anything. The officer said it was obvious from talking to her that she was having memory issues. Her driver license was revoked. Kinda wish it hadn't turned out that way, but I can't help but think things could have been worse if she's kept driving.
