Way to not take responsibility!

Something crazy happend today at work. It was just like any other day the boss and I were in the truck on our way to paint over some grafitti on the dumpster behind Stater Bros. In the parking lot we passed what looked like to be a simple fender bender that had occured recently. The two people involved seemed to be working it out, one of them was on the phone. As we drove past we could hear her saying," I got hit!" We didn't think much of it. Oh, yeah the vehicles involved were a mid sized sedan of some kiind and a brand spanking new suv, looked like a nissan or something like that. The person who we heard on the phone apparently owned the suv. We drove on to our target and started painting. The boss walked off to check on something and I continued to paint the side of the dumpster wall. While painting I heard a car driving around the corner toward us, again I thought nothing of it and kept on painting. The car I heard never drove past me along the back alley way behind the Stater Bros and I heard some loud reving of an engine. Looking up and behind me I say the same suv that we had passed earlier, the one that was part of the small accident, backed up against a light post. The driver was reving the engine apparently trying to damage either their car or the post somehow. After a few seconds the driver pulled forward a bit, got out and looked at the damage to their vehicle got back in and drove away past me. I was confused. I can't imagine that something like this coudl have happened on accident so I figured the driver was purposely trying to damage their vehicle. Once the boss got back I told him what I had seen. We thought that this driver of the suv was trying to make it appear as if they had been hit from behind. We didn't know for sure was they were thinking but we imagined that whe sould claim somebody hit them, causing them to hit the sedan and that the person who allegedly hit them in the first place took off. First off, we knew this kind of thing wasn't right. Insurance fraud never is. Secondly this driver had done damage to the light post and since we worked for the company that managed the entire property it was decided that we needed to do something about this. The Boss pulled around to the front again back to the place the accident happend and as we got there so did a police officer. We parked next to the scene of the accident and after the officer had talked with the two people involved the boss asked to speak to the officer. He came over to the truck and we related what we had seen. The officer was suprised and understood our conern. He called for back up and when ther other officer arrived we showed the damage on the light post to him and gave him a statement as a witness. The driver of the suv tried to interupt us talking to the officer once and after the officer had explained to the drivers what we had said the suv person tried to come over to us asking why we would say such things about them, and we didn't even know them and various things. Before they could say too much the boss just told them to stay away and talk to the officer. The whole thing was just interesting. We didn't press any charges for the minor damage to the light post but the officer asked us if we wanted to. I was just amazed that this woman would try to commit fraud like this. She must have been uninsurred or something, I don't know. It mostly likely have been better for her if she wouldn't have tried to damage her own vehicle and all that... but who knows what people think. The whole situation got me thinking on how it is kind of a natural reaction to want to resist or avoid taking responsiblilty for a mistake. It is always better though if we do own up to our mistakes and take responsiblity. Its a lesson we all could take something from I guess. Oh well, crazy stuff.
