Matt M. sent us the following:
“We had a hit and run to the pictured red Ford Freestyle while it was parked in front of our house early Sunday morning. We live near Guilford and Chelsea just for reference. Pictured parts from the offending vehicle were left behind and currently in our possession. Part numbers in the plastics lead me to it being a 2006 Jeep Commander. Seeking a license number from anyone that spots a silver Jeep Commander missing its driver side front wheel arch cladding and other possible driver side damage to it. The police were called and they came out pretty quickly but we know where that’s likely to get us. I included an internet screen capture and circled what should be missing for quick easy reference for anyone.
Thanks”
