So coming back home, one night this past week, I crashed my car -- inside my apartment community complex. My car is ok.
There's a nice iron gate surrounding our apartment complex's parking lot. I hit one section of that gate. Pushed it all the way in, a good 2 feet from where it should be, but it's still clinging to the gates. It's badly dented. I dozed off driving home.
My question is: should I say something? Or nah? I don't think any cameras caught me. But anyone can stroll though the apartment parking lot, see the damage on my car and guess I did it. If they think a resident did it. Would they make my car insurance pay?
Incidentally, I haven't paid full attention, but as long as these gates been up surrounding our parking lot, like a few times a year, I'll notice someone crashed into them. I didn't even think it was a resident l, until it happened to me. I always guessed a passing motorist. They're sending someone to fix different sections of the gates at least a few times per year.
Should I say something? I'm willing to own up to it, pay for repairs, as long as my insurance ain't involved...
If you’re asking others if you should say something, then we pretty much know you’re not.
Might want to make some life adjustments so you don’t hit more gates in the future.
So just deal with it should it become something for you to deal with.
BTW - No one is going to make you use insurance - that’s your call.
