Get hit and run

The other night I pulled into a parking lot and my coworker pulled into the stall next to me. Before I got out of my car I heard what sounded like a car getting hit. I looked in my side mirror and saw a car driving by with a dent on it’s rear passenger side.

 

I looked over to see that my coworker was still in his vehicle and did not appear to be effected by the incident. A bit bewildered, I got out of my car and looked toward the car with the dent. The driver had parked several spots away, assessed the damage, then went into a nearby retail outlet. “You just hit that car, right?” I asked my coworker. “I don’t think so. I think maybe it was a close call,” he replied. “I’m pretty sure you hit the car,” I said. We walked to the back of his car and found what police refer to as evidence. “Wow, I did. Weird,” my coworker replied.

 

We then waited by our cars for the man to return to his car and address the incident. The man exited the retail establishment a few minutes later, looked our way, walked around to the passenger side of his vehicle, assessed the damage, got back in his vehicle and left the parking lot as quickly as he entered it, completely disregarding the dent.  “Did that really just happen?” my coworker asked. “Yes, yes it did. We were just party to a get hit and run.”
