We got into a bit of a bump on Sunday when we went to Mayfair mall.
We were entering the parking lot and noticed a vehicle backing out of a spot. It appeared they may not have seen us, so we slowed down and stopped and layed on the horn. Apparently they couldn't see or hear the horn and backed into us, hitting the passenger front corner.
The whole family was in the car and we seem to be ok. The car has minor damage with a few scrapes on the bumper, but the hood has a small indent in it (like it was curled back a bit).
We were a few minutes late for a Birthday party (at Build-a-Bear), so the girls all headed into the mall while I dealt with the insurance. The other party and I started to get insurance papers etc and she mentioned that we should move our vehicles to a safer place. They moved their vehicle and I then realized that in the excitement, I had locked my keys in the car. I tried calling Restita for 10 minutes with no answer !! I finally went inside to get
her keys and found out that her phone was charging in the car.....arghhh. When I got back, the other vehicle had taken off....good thing I got their plate number before they left !!So far both insurance companies (ICBC and ING Insurance) have been a pleasure working with, so hopefully that will continue.
I am working today and worked yesterday, so we will bring the car in to the shop tomorrow.
I guess the good news is that we are covered for a rental vehicle while it is in for repairs !!
