    Pratt Ks parked legally and a Trans Am (Olathe Ks) swiped the passenger side of my truck. Seems like I take 1 step foward only to go back 3.

    I jumped out of my truck bare foot..... it seemed like he wanted to run. I called 911 and Pratt PD was here within 4mins.

    While on the phone the driver walked up to me. He didn't say a word and walked away. I can only imagine it wouldn't have been a friendly conversation. PD gave me his information and I took pictures of his tractor plate and unit #.

    Looks like he forgot he was pulling a trailer. That sucks.

    Make sure the body shop checks the entire hood for spider cracks.
