No Sign of Driver Who Hit Parked Car in Greenburgh

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- John Jones is still waiting for whoever hit his car to come forward and pay for the damages. As reported, Jones was having coffee last Monday morning at Frank’s, on East Main Street in Greenburgh, when an unknown driver sideswiped the front of his 1996 Honda Accord that was parked outside.

The damage included the dislodging of the vehicle's bumper. According to Jones' account, an employee of Frank’s said a man entered the café that morning saying he had a hit a car, but Jones was on the other side of the room and didn’t hear him. The man left shortly after.

Detective Robert C. Caralyus, of Elmsford’s police department, said the police usually doesn’t investigate cases of this nature.

“If there was somebody injured, then I would follow up,” Caralyus said. He added that if the driver looks for Jones, “the case will solve itself.”

Jones said he remains hopeful that the hit-and-runner will eventually show up at Frank’s.

“I will go there every morning to wait for him,” he said.
