Property Destruction In Delmar

Mr. Albero,

We live in Delmar on Delmar Road just out past the old mill. We were woke up at 5 this morning by our trash company informing us that someone had destroyed our property and there was trash all over the road. We go outside and see that someone was heading towards town and crossed the road, they hit our trash can and mailbox, crossed our driveway and then jumped the ditch and took out about 6 sections of our split level fence. We reported this to the state police and there is nothing that can be done at this point because we have no idea who did this. We do know this happened between 2 and 5 am. We are assuming this was a car because of the tracks that left behind. We found pieces of the car through out the ditch and yard. They are missing the driver side mirror, and a large chunk of their headlight assembly. The pieces of the car we found are a dark forest green color. I was hoping you could post this, and maybe someone had seen something or has seen this car. These pictures are posted on my facebook page. Please feel free to use any of them you would like. This is my mother and father's home. My father is disabled from 2 strokes and my mother will be 70 years old in a couple of weeks. There is some extensive damage, and with a fixed income it is going to be difficult for them to repair this damage. I appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks,
Melissa Matthews

Maybe you could get the word out to auto parts stores and body shops also.

This is what homeowner insurance is for - make a claim!

Have them report it to their homeowner's insurance. It should be covered and the insurance company will probably try to track down who is actually at fault.

That is why people have insurance

Most vehicle parts have numbers that can be traced to a make and type of automobile.

ANON 4:37 This is also why people need to be held accountable. Why should the home owner suffer the burden of dealing with the insurance when the party responsible should pay? That is exactly the kind of mentality that is making society fail in several ways. Do you also think the criminals don't deserve jailtime too?

Its the principle of it people! This could have been a human being that was hit! No wonder insurance is so high with all ot these mentalities.
