Neighbor Refuses to Hand Over Surveillance Footage; Driver Suspects Hit-and-Run by Red SUV

A couple discovered early one morning that the boyfriend’s car, parked in their driveway, had been totaled. The vehicle was covered in red paint chips, suggesting it was struck by a neighbor’s red SUV. They asked their across-the-street neighbor—who has a Ring security camera—for footage, but the neighbor refused to provide the video, even claiming the camera “wasn’t working.” Days later, the neighbor’s red SUV returned, with a clearly visible dent on its rear end. Witnesses pointed out that if the neighbor wasn’t responsible, they should have cooperated with the investigation—especially since the same neighbor had previously volunteered video evidence that helped solve another car theft case. The car owner has now filed a police report and contacted their insurance company. Online commenters suggested either filing a claim through insurance or hiring a lawyer to pursue legal action.
