Astounded
Why on earth do I continue to be surprised at government idiocy? You’d think that by now, I’d have long since accepted the fact that stupidity has no bounds… that we have, indeed, invented a better idiot at every junction in social evolution.
As I was driving home yesterday, someone tossed a rock (or something heavy–I never found it) off a freeway overpass and smashed my moon roof. Fortunately I had the sun shade closed, so there were no injuries.
Knowing my insurance would ask, I reported it to the state patrol. And even now, I’m astounded at the level of warped thinking that led to the response I got. First, they didn’t get back to me for 20 minutes, ensuring that whoever threw the rock was long gone. And then they drop the bomb on me–if they file a report, it’ll go down as a collision on MY driving record.
Unreal.
You wouldn’t have had that problem up here (even if we had overpasses). You would have just taken your mandatory firearm from the gun rack and fixed the problem.
Seriously, what a complete utter load of bullshit.

Unless it had been stolen from your unlocked car, prometheus.
Holy crap, G. I am also astounded by that.
Not really surprising - they would have had to report it as an unsolved case, bad for their percentages, so they scared you out of reporting it (well, that, and the idiot insurance companies exist to keep your money and deny as much of your claim as legally possible).
Same thing goes if a deer runs into the side of your vehicle, that’s also your fault.
