Hit n run - letterbox - any one see?
A car just rammed in to my letterbox between 8.45 pm and 8.55 PM on Cameron Road, Greerton, guessing they were trying to turn around as people often do. If anyone was driving past and saw the car and this happen, i would appreciate any detail. A worry though that surely they had to be drunk or under some influence to hit my letterbox so hard it split in half and was ripped off the post - I hope they get home safe without hurting anyone is my biggest concern.
They left and tooted before I had a chance to run out and get their license plate. I shouldn't be surprised but always like to believe the best in people, but they didn't come and see me to apologise or offer to cover the cost. I am a solo parent and student, it's disappointing when someone is reckless and not giving too hoots about how it might impact on another persons life and my daughter who is a promising soccer player counting on me for new shin pads, futsal boots and futsal fees for instance. I will still pay for these things of course because I need to support her dreams and skills, but the hit n run letterbox doesn't help!
