Hello
On Feb. 28 2010 I went to a charity poker game at a local tavern restaurant in Ohio, the parking lot was full and I found a spot< I have met the owner and his son on occasion the son (25 year old) came up to me and my friend and said,” I will move your car across the street to the supermarket parking lot if you give me your keys and coat “( there was a snow storm at the time ) I asked him if he can drive a van and he said that he had experience so I gave him the keys and my coat he moved my van, he came back and moved my friends car as well, two days later I had the van washed and discovered damage to passenger side of the van a large scrape and wrinkled type of dents there was no paint transfer, the van is silver color so I went back to the tavern to see what he may have hit and went across the street to the grocery store parking lot and discovered that the dent lines up with a shopping cart corral which has large plastic sides I confronted the owners son and he said that he did not remember hitting any thing and denied it, he seemed very uncomfortable I went and got a estimate for the damage and presented it to the father and he took it and said he would contact his insurance co. He called back a week later and said his insurance co said for me to use my own insurance And that he would not pay even half of the cost
I am not sure if I have a case I have gotten two estimates one for 1,000.00 and one for 1,400.00
The van is a 2005 gmc 2500 savana
Thank You for your time
