Admin Question by Matt: i was involved in a hit-and-run. please help?
so, today, i was driving my dodge truck to the gas station. its been snowing all day so the roads are fairly bad, but not so slick that its impossible to drive on. anyway, as i was slowly pulling off the main road into the gas station, i got slammed in the rear. i looked over, realizing that i had been hit, and expected the guy who hit me to slow down and stop. nope. he drove away as fast as he could and blew through the stop light at the corner that the gas station was located on too. i wanted to chase him so bad, but there was no way i could have turned around back onto the main road fast enough. so, i called the police, and they took a report on the incident. i described the vehicle as an older red jeep cherokee with tan trim on the bottom. i did not manage to get the license plate or see what the driver looked like. my trucks rear bumper didnt have too much damage to it, it was just a little out of allignment( good thing it was a solid old steel dodge bumper). im just wanting to ask: is there a way to find all the red jeep cherokees in the area without a license or vin number? like, is there a database that would give you the location of all the red models of the jeep that hit my truck? this is just so frustrating. the only thing that makes me want to find the person who did it is the fact that they just took off like that. i mean, what if they seriously injured me? -and just sped away like that. its so aggrivating. please help me out if you can. i live in the vermillion county area of illinois. thanks everyone

Let the cops do their job. Unless you want to hunt down every single Jeep you come across, you can’t really do anything about it.
ya idk if you can find all of em. i live in illinois also. and alot of people suck at driving here. thers always people blowing this stop sign down my street which the speed limit is 50 and its usually old people or 40 year old moms. thats why girls insurance should be more. i know more girls who hit shit than guys,
So you want the cops showing up and picking you up as well? It’s not worth it. The cops will look for the vehicle and have better resources. A hit and run is something they will look in to pretty well. Remember the saying “On the journey of revenge be sure to dig two graves”. I can understand feeling the way you do, but finding the guy won’t make it any better.
Add:Rollingstoner it is a FACT among insurance companies that females are LESS LIKELY to be involved in accidents. The ones that get in more accidents have HIGHER RATES. That is why things get set the way they do.
Go ask the gas station if they have a camera, many do.
lots of people get busted from security cams now days that recorded something
Also any other cams that might be mounted near by , go look around to see if you can find any.
