Hit-and-runs are despicable! One of my biggest pet peeves. We all make mistakes, no problem with that, but face it and take responsibility.

Last year, when my wife was 2 months pregnant (!) a 17 year old girl drove into my wife's car sideways. My wife's car was pushed onto a perpendicular street, so she couldn't follow, and the girl just drove away without stopping. A cop on a motorcycle responded to the call and a kid on a skateboard told the cop "it was a Toyota RAV4 2000" but he couldn't get the license plate.

About 30 minutes later, when I got home, I jumped on my bicycle and rode around the neighborhood and, lucky me, found the car after about 10 minutes. We called the police, the same cop showed up and said he was going to wait by the car until someone came up. Sure thing, the girl gets out of class (we used to live close to a college), the cop pulls her over and she starts crying and confessed before he even got to ask her anything. He called her dad, waited for him to show up, read her Miranda rights and arrested her for hit-and-run. It feels good when justice is served and you see that the system works, but I sure felt mad and helpless until we actually found her...
