Adventures with CHP.
Today I called the CHP and it went kind of like this…
Me: Hi. Saturday night someone dropped something off the Avenue N overpass and hit my car with it. Its kinda fucked up.
Them: DId you call and report it?
Me: I called the sherrif and they said not our problem. I called CHP and they said not open on weekends.
Them: Well did you cal the emergency number?
Me: Well no. No one was dying. I didn’t consider it an emergency.
Them: Oh. Well let me transfer you to dispatch.
Me: Okay…
Transferred for the fifth time, not to dispatch in Los Angeles.
Me: Saturday night someone dropped something off the Avenue N overpass and hit my car with it. Its kinda fucked up.
Them: I don’t understand why they transferred you here.
Me: I dunno either.
Them: Well, there’s no other reports like that for that night. I’ll transfer you back.
She transfers me back to Lancaster’s CHP office.
Me: So I was here and then I got transferred to dispatch in Los Angeles and she said there wer eno similar reports and she sent me back to you. Now what?
Them: Oh, well now you need to come in and file a counter report. You can visit any CHP station to do this.
Me: Oh. I’ll be in on Thursday to do it.
So it was kind of a big waste of time. All that and I am in the exact same spot. And tomorrow I have to call my insurance and see if it’s going to be covered or not.
