| - Long story short, I got rear ended on Christmas Eve by a girl from California who was driving her friend's car. According to the car owner's insurance company (Progressive) they made many attempts to contact the insured over the phone, but he never answered or returned their calls. A week later, they still had no contact with him and told me they couldn't move forward until they speak with him. You can imagine I was pretty frustrated at that point. I talked to one of the adjusters from Progressive and asked if there was anything I could do on my end to get the ball rolling on repairing my car. I mean, this was unfair to me. It was the girl's fault and I have to drive around with a smashed rear bumper for who knows how long because the owner of the car is irresponsible? Oh Hell No!! The adjuster told me to go and file a police report, which was basically the only way they could move on without waiting to talk to this bastard.
So that is what I did. I called to ask how to file a police report, and they told me to come down during business hours, which is Monday thru Friday 9-5. There was no way I could make it there by 5 after getting off from work, but luckily, they had normal business hours on NYE when I worked a half day. Took me an hour to get there because of the crazy NYE traffic! You walk in, take a number and wait. Either a officer or another employee will come out and ask what you are there for. If you are not registering guns, they will tell you to go into the next room and wait there. Then they ask everyone what kind of report they are filing and will give you the appropriate form to fill out while waiting. Spent a little over an hour there because there were a lot of people and 2 employees in the second room. But still, it wasn't too bad.
The one bad thing is that there is no privacy. Everyone in the room can hear your conversation with the employee who is processing your report, just an FYI. But, glad that I finally got it done. Hoping that my car will finally get fixed now!
