this incident happened in the town of rotterdam,in schenectady county
I'm assuming there was a police report......yes? I would also suggest contacting auto body shops in the area to see if any vehicles that fits the description has been brought in.
Sorry to hear your story. We'll keep a look out. Although if they drive this car around before it is fixed, it won't be hard to miss with all of the damage.
Good luck!!

fred is my name, robert is the one who asked me to post this for him on this site from my iphone. we thank you for advice,we figure all body shops are closed on sundays, but he will resume bodyshop search monday.police report has been filed as well,as contacting stores in curry road area and asking them to review surveillance tapes.
You might want to check into autoglass places and junk yards just in case she has someone fixing up the car for her in private. Autoparts stores also keep records on what type of car purchases are being made for. They are also good to check up on. But dont just check in this area. Check outer areas as well.
If it were my car, I would be calling every parts dealer in the phone book.
thank you for the comments guys ang girls.we found out the make of the car is 1998-2002 toyota corrola,light tan,or beige,or silver in color.it has extensive damage to the front end of the car(toyota corrola).if any one on the board sees this car, could you plz contact officer randall at the rotterdam police dept.thank you again for your support.gemini, i have followed your advice and we are contacting autobody repair shops, as well as glass repair shops.thank you
I would also check, not just in the immediate Schenectady area.
Assume the driver is from Schenectady, she could have someone go to an auto parts place say in Gloversville, or maybe further away.
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
we also have a partial plate number-1998-2002 light beige, os silver,or tan colored car. w/ etesive damage to front end.the partial plate number is_AK7 179.----there is a reward being offered for info leading to apprehension of this woman and her vehicle.thank you so much, i will start calling body shops out of the area.
if anyone lives in the bellvue area keep your eyes open for a toyota or honda that fits the description above,it has extensive damage to the front of the car. look ,we are living in a recession, and i doubt very much that this hit and run driver has the money to fix up her car!

Well, I'm glad that you are starting to make some progress to figure out who did this, but are you saying that with this much information, the RPD and DMV can't run a partial plate with the type of vehicle that was involved and figure out who this is yet? I know more information always helps, but I would think with having this amount of information, it would have them hot on someone's trail rather quickly. Also, is this a NY state plate, or was it an out of state plate? And now that NY has 2 different types of plates, was it the new or the old plate style?
it was the old style plate. and yes its a trip that officer randall of thr rpd, wont do more to assist .hopefully things will turn around,my phone is ringing off the hook with people offering info,so we appreciate that.description below:
1998-2002 toyota corrola light grey/silver or beige extensive damage to front end of vehicle,including missing headlight cover on passengers side. caucasian girl w/ brunette hair type.she wears it in a ponytail. early 20,s license plate number could be: ANK-179 PARTIAL PLATE! reward of 500 dollars being offered for apprehension of this driver.
thank you all on the board for your support!
if you see car plz contact officer randall or his superiors at rotterdam police dept.
Fred My Brother in Law works for an auto glass repair company and I put the word out to him and for him to contact others he knows.
I wish the victims the best of luck.
My hubby's truck was hit by a driver who took off right infront of my house. I drove around for hours and I found the car on Craig St. The way I knew was it left some car parts here and large paint chips.
You are so nice to do this for them : )
Wish them and all the best in finding the H & R driver
"...officer randall of thr rpd, wont do more to assist ..." I just find it a little strange that RPD isn't all over this HIT-n-RUN
I'm sure they are trying to run the plate # even though it is a partial one.
