Thanks everybody. As my first question here this has been fairly hilarious in that it’s turned into a British/US Language forum. BTW I’m Australian, which has a bastardized version of the Queen’s English.
Thanks Thriftymaid, I’ll call Geico tomorrow. They said they couldn’t do anything because I don’t have comprehensive insurance, but I’ll ask if they can try to get reimbursement from the city. I’m paying them so much they owe it to me.
Also thanks gailcalled. I do have pictures and should have dealt with this earlier, but a whole lot of major stuff was happening up until now I couldn’t. It’s not worth taking it to a claims lawyer as it isn’t an expensive car.
However if I was paying this much insurance in Aus, everything would be covered and then some.
Thanks mrrich724, I thought that would be the case, or that it would be so time-consuming it wouldn’t be worth it.
Thanks all! (you too grumpy pants)
