Today, I've owned my dream car for 11 days. Someone backed into it while it parked at work, and drove away without leaving a note. A man at a nearby business knows who did it but won't tell me because it was one of his customers. FML

Get the cops involved. The business owner will have to give away who hit your car as he would otherwise be charged with obstruction of justice for withholding important information about a crime.

Ok I'm not a law guru but I believe he has to say who did it as he is not supplying information of a crime. But hey as I said I'm no guru so I have no idea

If your dream car is something you'd leave outside unprotected, you aren't dreaming big enough.

People have jobs, buy groceries, run errands, and other things. Nobody has a garage every single place they go.

Sounds like he'll be talking to your insurance company (or better yet the police). Don't know Florida law, but that sounds like it should be illegal. Maybe there are some security cameras? I would involve the police (call the non-emergency line, be polite and calm, and hopefully they can do something. Or at least write a good report for your insurance, assuming you got it insured...)

Hit and run is a crime in every state, as is withholding evidence. It can be considered obstruction of justice or aiding and abetting. The issue is getting the shop owner to admit that he knows who it is that did it, since, if he lies and says that he doesn't know, the police can't do much more than question him. HOWEVER, many shops here in Florida have outdoor cameras for insurance reasons, and OP could likely go through the process of having the footage pulled so they can possibly get the license plate of the car.

Many buildings in non-residential zones are required by insurers to include camera surveillance in their security systems now, so I'd be surprised if the incident hasn't been caught on tape by even one security camera somewhere in the area. Also, you need to involve the police, because a crime as serious as a hit & run is likely a felony. It seems to me, impeding an investigation into a felony would also be very serious for this 'businessman'. I'm not a lawyer, though. FYL.

That's awful! Hopefully you get the cops involved and find out who did it. Just curious, what kind of car was it?

Here is what you do OP. kidnap the guy and bring him in a dark room with one dim light, get a deep bucket, a cloth, and a chair. tie him down and waterboard him for the whole day. he will fold and give you a name.

Florida is a "no fault" automobile insurance state. Meaning that your insurance will be affected either way. Best of luck to you.

That's not the problem. The problem is that it became a crime the moment the offender drove off. Add in that people who hit and run are usually more likely to be unsafe drivers and to be drivers that don't have a license, have a warrant out for them, and/or have a history of other vehicular crimes, it's really stupid of the shop owner to not give up the details.

And can't you get him in trouble for that? 100% get the police involved in this.
