Neighbor moves in, knocks down a back up Entergy braided wire, causes damage to our cars

The neighbor's friend was driving the Uhaul, it wasn't the largest truck you can get but it was one with that little area above the cab.

She drives in, knocks down a line and it was a metal, braided wire that scratched up the cars pretty bad.

Fire department was called, they came out, told us to not touch the wire. After two hours, they ended up cutting the wire with bolt cutters (obviously it wasn't a hot wire)


My neighbor filed a police report because that car is pretty messed up, just from the braided wire.

A police officer came out and spoke to the neighbor, like I said is friends with the girl who was driving the Uhaul, and she (the neighbor) started going on about subpoenas, as if she wasn't going to divulge the name of her friend who caused this.

It has since been turned over to detectives and is being treated as a hit and run, because that's exactly what the girl did. I couldn't leave my house that day because of the wire. Entergy showed up (after I called them) and got rid of it.

Long story short, what would you do if this happened to you? Realistically. My neighbor called the detective and he said he has no information on the Uhaul or the girl who was driving it. He said he plans on talking to the neighbor in person only because she knows the name of the girl who caused the accident. I get he has other cases but this has been over a month and he still hasn't even talked to the other party. I mean.....


It's like she (the neighbor) wants to protect her friend and I get that but it's an accident. You don't just turn around and say, "I didn't mean to do that" and the fired department is called out and people can't leave their homes.

To me, she's making it harder on herself to insist, apparently, on a subpoena, and go to court and pay court costs when she could just tell the detective the other girls name and none of this other stuff would have to happen.
