Car hit by drunk driver in parking lot at work - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Well I had a craptacular afternoon. Our building engineer walked up to my desk to tell me that my car had been hit in the parking lot. He also told me that it was the developer who works in the office directly below ours. I ran out to the parking lot to survey the damage. Crunched passenger side rear quarter panel, caved in front bumper on the driver's side of the Suburban parked next to me. Did I mention that it's all reserved and assigned covered parking at my office building? Did I mention that the dufus devloper is assigned the spot nest to mine? Did I mention that I've only had my GTO for 6 weeks?!

I went into to the developer's office. The door was open and the lights were out. I looked around and called out and assumed no one was there. I walked across the parking lot to the Scottsdale PD substation at DC Ranch. Told the desk officer what had happened and she dispatched an officer to take the report.

A reserve officer shows up. She starts to take the initial report and then calls for regular officers when she realized that the driver was possibly still in the vicinity. Two regular officers show up, they did a building search of the developer's office and found him passed out unconcious on the floor underneath his desk.

They escort him out to the parking lot, realize that he's drunk and call their supervisor. Their supervisor shows up, realizes that there are witnesses and they can place him in the car at the time of the incident. He then calls the training unit for a field sobriety test.

The driver fails the sobriety test and is arrested for DUI at over twice the legal limit and this is over an hour after the incident. I gotta' say watching the sobriety test and seeing them place him in handcuffs was more satisfying than anything I could have imagined happening to him. It only got better seeing the tow truck show up to impound his 'burb. Did I mention that his insurance has expired?

DID I MENTION THAT I'VE ONLY HAD MY GTO FOR 6 WEEKS!

This is one of those things that could only happen to me.
