Hit and run on base, who should I contact? So i immediately noticed someone hit my bumper this morning. I snapped quite a few pics of the damage. I was parked in the corner of the parking lot, so i'm guessing some dumbass airman was speeding around the corner and nailed it.
I really need some guidance though, since i'm a dumb airman too. Should I go to security forces; I was thinking, telling the shirt on monday would be the best way to go.
Should I wait till monday, and should the base pay for this since it occurred at the base dorms?

Call Security Forces ASAP... I'd probably take a drive through the dorms and see if any cars have any fresh damage done. I've had a few friends with the same problem.

Call the SFS staff. I know that security on that base is Airforce and Navy. Have them do a case on Damage to Personnel property/hit n run. How bad is the damage? There is a MA2 Smith that base that is a good friend of mine He knows his ****.

Was there any camera's in the area? Alot of them here in San Diego. The SP is a good idea regardless if you like them too. I'd walk the parking lot looking for a car with a bumper with my fresh paint on it.

There are cameras in the area but i dont think they point towards my car at the time. I was gonna walk around, it's a light color so i may still do that. There are other dorms on the other side of the base. It could be a lot of different cars.

you should have definitely called SECURITY FORCES the second u saw the damage. its gonna be pretty tough for them to do anything especially if it was a few days ago.
all we are gonna do is maybe take some pics, and get a statement from you, and see if there are any witnesses. it will probably end up going to an investigations section.

2- Notify your supervisor, he/she should tell you to go to the Legal office to report it and file a claim.
3- The legal office will file your claim and most times if damage to your car was done on base and is documented (police report) they will pay to repair the damage.
4- Meanwhile the cops will investigate the collision, and charge the guilty party with leaving the scene of an accident.
If you havent called the cops yet, you should do it now and tell them you just noticed the damage. Then tell them you see security cameras in the parking lot. Don't try to investigate this yourself, let the cops do their job. The cops won't care about damage to your car if they've been called because you found out who did it and started beating on them. Just follow the steps above and get it paid for and fixed, leave your ins. company out of it.

Best bet is be upfront with the SP/MP . Remember it is your integrity on the line. You can be honest and have your integrity or dishonest and falsify a military report.

1- Call the Security Forces LE desk IMMEDIATELY when you notice damage to your car, and get a copy of the report.
