Help Find This Hit-And-Run Driver Who Side-Swiped A Marine Park Neighbor’s Car

There are all kinds of petty douchebags in this world, but the ones that irk me the most are those who do the wrong thing even when the right thing is so damn easy.

Speeding down a residential block and knocking off a parked car’s mirror? Not the worst thing in the world. Just stop the car, get out, leave an apologetic note with your contact info – and then, you know, drive a little more carefully with all that mud on your face. Not so hard, man.

And yet, the driver in the car of the accompanying video totally went the petty douchebag route, not even slowing down after taking out the parked car’s mirror as well as his own.

Which is why we’re totally happy to help reader Thomas C. track this jerk down. It was his car damaged in the video, parked in front of his own home on East 36th Street near Quentin Road. He pulled the video from the incident, which happened just after 10:00am on Sunday.

Thomas will be reporting it today to the NYPD, but for the time being is offering a $100 reward to anybody who helps him identify the owner of the vehicle, which, he notes, appears to be an early model KIA.

Thomas can be reached at rlmtechie@yahoo.com.
