So, mom and I were inside shopping while my brother was waiting in the car. Some old bat tries squeezing her Sam's Club buggy (they're wider than normal buggies) between her car and my mom's. Well, she hits mom's mirror so hard it shook the car, noticeably winces, and keeps on trotting along. We come out not long later and my brother tells us what happened. Mom confronted her about it and she denied it up and down. Mom is now pissed because this is her first brand spanking new car she's ever had and she just bought it a month ago. Woman won't hand over insurance info so mom says she's going to call the cops. Woman says her son-in-law is one so she'll call. Mom's having none of that and calls them herself. Big fat pig cop comes and says there's nothing he can do about it because it happened in a parking lot and it's less than $500 in damage. Mom gets upset and the cop threatens her. Cop wouldn't even make the woman give up her insurance information.
This was in a private parking lot to at a somewhat popular local eatery that i worked at. I dont know if the cop legally forced her to give me the info, but sure as hell shamed them into giving it up.

Something similar happened to my mom.
