Stolen vehicle

Submitted by rosey0926 t3_10myggx in Connecticut

Hey guys. This may be a long run but if anyone sees a 2008 silver Scion with plates 934- YFY please dm me. It's a stolen vehicle and the person slammed into my car and another car the other night before driving off. I was able to catch the plates but nothing more could be done.

Police said the vehicle was stolen from New Haven. I was hit in Bridgeport.

Thank you in advance!!

Edit: please feel free to contact Bridgeport/ New Haven police if spotted!!

Edit #2: it's a 2008 scion xD in a silver color.

Thank you to all for upvoting and commenting

Do not DM OP, contact the police. We don't know OP. They could be a stalker for all we know. Probably not but protocol here is to contact police. OP should be perfectly fine with this.

Were they trying to rob you when you got hit? That’s the playbook in ct —> steal car —> use it to commit crime

Will keep an eye out!

Nope! They were speeding down the road, hit one car and then swerved right into me

A Scion what? They had like 4-5 different models. Just saying the brand don't help.

I'm downvoted for trying to get the actual helpful info from the OP who didn't bother responding?

Guess they don't care if their car actually is found afterall. Fair enough. Carry on.

If it's stolen, what do you plan on getting done if the vehicle is found? The thief/thieves will be long gone if not caught by police. Going to sue the vehicle owner?

You'd be surprised how dumb car thieves are. They'd park it at their house in this city. I've seen it happen

Why not report it to your insurance carrier? We have resources to be able to search plates and registration, as well as locating their insurance.

Also, how do we know that the vehicle is stolen? There's some awful drivers in Connecticut.

The plate # was reported stolen from the police data base when I told them it at the scene. no one knows who was driving or I would have gone after their insurance/ sued civilly

Insurance doesn't follow the person it follows the vehicle. It's likely that if the vehicle was stolen, it would have been reported to the owners insurance. They may have some more context on how to pursue.

Thank you I'll look into this again. I did provide my insurance with all the info and they didn't really do much

Any idea on damage that might be on the vehicle? Drivers side, pass side? What color were the two cars that were hit? Might have had paint transfer

The vehicle hit both of us head on. The second car was grey and my car is white

Ugh not fun. Accidents suck, I just had one a couple weeks ago and even though I wasn’t at fault it’s still so stressful. But cars can be replaced, people can’t! So that’s the best thing. But keep an eye on yourself and get checked out if you start noticing any soreness, sometimes it can take a few days for the pain to set in.
