I'm glad that your car wasn't damaged that badly.

Leaving his license plate at the scene, eh? Sounds like it's ripped right from Fark.

I think they actually may have gotten him a few blocks away, per a guy who drive by while the cops were there. I will make sure and update if/when anything develops! :)

Yikes. That sucks. Hope the car is fine when you manage to see it in daylight.
