Auntie scratched my bumper!



Maybe I enjoyed this ^^ video too much in the morning and this happened to me in the afternoon.





Actually, the kind gentleman left a note on my windshield, apologising for his fault for scratching my bumper while parking. He left his phone number and said will pay 100% for the damages. Never would have expected this anywhere these days. Time to give him a call and thank him for his honesty. Maybe he's a lawyer as I parked in Admiralty?

What a coincidence... I was parked in Happy Valley less than a year ago. Someone had smacked into my rear bumper, and when I came out I thought I'd got a parking ticket but instead it turned out to be a note. I didn't even know my car had been hit.

The guy left his name, number and full length apology claiming he would pay all of the damages. The parking valet across the road later told me the guy had waited by my car for >30 mins as he saw my meter was almost up. When I didn't come to top up he called the cops to file a report.

In the end I got a quote from my garage, and he paid me within 24 hours. I'm wondering if this could be the same guy??!!

Didn't think people like this existed anymore.....

Count your blessings, you are very fortunate. People like these are few and far between these days in Hong Kong. Before, there were more, but nowadays, to meet a honest and upright member of society who is man enough to own up to his own mistakes, that is rare indeed. It's not a question of how much money one has, it's a question of personal responsibility and ethics, your example is enlightening and help me restore a degree of faith in Hong Kongers. At least honest people still exist in HK, even if they are not that common sadly.

He sounded like he's in his 50's when I called him up and was real nice. He hopes the work is not going to break his bank. He's a driver for a company so he doesn't make that much. I'm going to find the best price but black sapphire metallic is not going to be cheap. I just installed the M-tech in Feb too.

Looks like it's just the white paint rubb onto yours, I've had it numerous times and buffed it off, hard work though and required some rough and fine cut polish, took 3 hrs by hand.
