6AUG2024 @ 2045 central time, Tank and I were in the kitchen when it sounded like a rocket hit my house. Freaked tank out and myself for sure. After I finally came back to reality that it was not a rocket attack or an ied explosion I ran into my bedroom, grabbed my AR and out the door I went. I see my propane tank laid over near my deck and obviously was totally confused , I then saw the old dish satellite was laid over and my foundation had damage, I saw tire marks in my yard and driveway and a small hill leading to the house. I noticed then that my truck had damage to the drivers side bumper, fender, fender flare, headlight and pieces of turn signal and side markers everywhere. I realized someone ran into the truck, then the propane tank and then the house.....and left. Luckily I have Arlo security cameras and have the footage. Sheriff's office has the video and the still image of the white extended cab dodge Dakota sport has been posted on social media and the sheriff's office fb page as well. This all happened the night before our first day of school starting back. It's been a hell of a week. Luckily it's a no fault accident and it's being take care of. I'm still freaked out and have to realize I'm safe and Tommy taliban hasnt found me but damn. I'm not sure what may be wrong with my drivers side suspension yet. It pushed the truck back, turn my wheels to the left. Brake fluid leaked out into my rim. I'm going to attempt to post pics and the video but it may be in a few replys to my own thread. This has been a horrible first week of school for me and my brain has been in a bad place since this. But it could of been worse. If that tank had of went boom. Tanker and me may not be around anymore. I hope they find this piece of .....

Oh wow, that was a close call, I'm glad to hear that you and the Tankster are okay, that's awsome that you have the video to pass on to Five-O. Best wishes to you and I hope everything gets sorted out for you. Count your blessings

Hit and run drivers are thieves. Take their problem and make it yours to deal with.

The US needs caning as a punishment option. They know they aren't going to jail for a misdemeanor and they are judgement proof as far as fines goes, so why *not* roll the dice and flee if you're a no integrity self serving *******?
