The Saga of the Little Bumper Hit and Run
On August 15 at 7:33 p.m. a caller reported that a car with NY plates had struck the rear bumper of a parked car with PA plates on Beekman Avenue at Hudson Street, causing minor damage. A witness at the scene reported that the male driver fled the area but the witness was able to take a picture of his license plate with his cell phone.
Police traced the car back to a Beekman Avenue woman. When they went to the home, the daughter of the registered owner was not home and said that while her mother was in the hospital, her boyfriend was using the car. The car was found later parked on Teresa Street with damages matching the incident. Officers returned to the home where both the registered owner and the driver still were not home.
The registered owner called headquarters and said she would come there to complete the accident report the next day at 4 p.m. At 4:42 p.m. that day, an officer went to the residence but the woman was not home. Her daughter got her on the phone and she said she forgot and would come in an hour to headquarters.
At 6:46 p.m., officers completed the accident report without the help of the car owner.
