So, apparently I backed into a car earlier today. I received a phone call during class from the police wanting to talk to me. A police officer came over and looked at my car. There was a scratch. Then he started going on about wanting an honest answer as to whether I hit the car. That it would help me if I was honest. I told him that it was possible, but that I wasn't sure. That I hadn't realized I hit it at the time.

My problem . . . I have no idea what happened. I can't remember. No one's fessing up. Any one of us that drives regularly would know not to just drive away if they hit a car. So I'm assuming someone was driving that wasn't supposed to be. Ugh. Why do these things have to happen to me?

This really sucks. Obviously the person who did it isnt going to confess. Only thing I can suggest is that you let everyone know that noone is going to be in trouble if they did come out and hit the car in the process you just need to know so that if it wasnt any of you noone has to pay the consequences.

Glad you're ok, nice to see you again.

I hope you can find out who did it by opening up the communication within the "team"...perhaps this is an opportunity, im sorry it came about in this way.

I agree that it is probably best to get the confession if possible. I am sorry you had to go through this. How stressful and confusing to the whole. Plus we find that authority figures like police really freak us out. I think it has to do with the hiding and shame. I hope you are ok!

well, since then ended in the hospital for suicidal thoughts. so not doing so great. and Jo one's outright confessed, but i'm pretty sure it was one of us. kind of just trying to deal with the whole hospital situation first I guess. since I can't do anything about the car until I get out anyways.

no, not jo

is it possible that you didn't hit a car, and the police have made a poor assumption? My experience is that you never admit to guilt over anything. They have to prove you are guilty, otherwise you win the benefit of the doubt.,

a police officer came to look at my car. and there was a scratch of the right colour at the right height. apparently that's enough proof?

maybe.

Do you remember driving to class? If not, maybe someone else was driving.

First, you may not have hit the other car. Second, you may have hit another car and not known. Sometimes that can happen and if was just a little scratch, maybe you just tapped the other car. Even non-multiples have those sort of situations. Just explaining to the police, that you'd be happy to take responsibility if you knew you'd done something but you don't believe you did hit the car may be enough. Don't assume it's your fault though.

reed - class was a few hours later, and I was at home in between, so I have no idea.

I have decided that I am not accepting the blame for this. since they can't prove it was me. but it still has me slightly frustrated.

I like that. Good luck
