You have to decide if it's even worth contacting your insurance company about filing a claim which will not only cost you some money for a deductible, but will also likely raise your insurance premium, even if it wasn't your fault.

I remember one of the first times I parked in the Ottawa/Fulton garage in downtown Grand Rapids.

There was a corner spot between level A and B which looked perfect so I parked there.

When I came back out later from a concert, I noticed that someone had clipped my rear bumper on the passenger side and drove off without leaving a note or any information.

While it was frustrating, it wasn't worth the cost of filing the claim so I just dealt with it.

Now if I had the accident on camera you better believe I would have tried to catch the driver that hit my car.

A West Michigan family recently had someone crash into their car and take off and now they're trying to catch the hit and run driver that was captured on their home security camera.

Austin Van Iwaarden and Lora Gable live on Boss Street in Wyoming and told Fox 17 that they were inside their home on Friday night when a driver drove onto their lawn, struck their car that was parked in the driveway, and damaged several mailboxes before taking off.

This is a total guess on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if the person that caused the damage was under the influence of some kind.

They've shared the video with police in hopes of tracking down the suspect.

If you have any information about the incident you're asked to contact the Wyoming police department.
