(KGO) &#8212; 10\/31\/24 &#8211; <\/span>A surveillance video has once again solved a whodunit for a Bay Area viewer. An East Bay dad arrived home to find that someone had crashed into his parked car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">At first, he suspected his teenage kids who had been driving it that day. Then, he checked his Ring camera video, and it showed a surprising culprit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">It was not someone you&#8217;d expect to hit your car and then flee the scene. But that&#8217;s what happened, and months later, this family is still trying to recoup their loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Brady Muir of San Ramon got the urgent call from his son. &#8220;I just want you to know something&#8217;s wrong with the car &#8212; the back is all smashed,&#8221; the teen said. Their Volkswagen Jetta parked in front of the house was mysteriously damaged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">&#8220;I was hard on my kids. I was like, &#8216;OK, just tell me what you did,'&#8221; said Muir.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">His teenagers said they were not responsible. They&#8217;d gone to get burgers and returned safely. &#8220;Literally we went to In-N-Out, and then came home,&#8221; they said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Muir scrolled through his Ring camera video. &#8220;All of a sudden, I see the post office (truck),&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">He was shocked at what he saw. The video shows a mail delivery truck with no driver inside slowly rolling away from the curb. The driver runs back and jumps inside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">&#8220;All of sudden it just went out of control,&#8221; said Muir. &#8220;Then you hear a large bang, and the Volkswagen moved like four or five feet. Oh my holy cow, like, it was the post office &#8211; I was in complete disbelief.&#8221; Read more at <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7news.com\/post\/ring-video-captures-usps-hit-run-car-bay-area\/15489842\/\">ABC 7 News<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/USPS-truck-flees.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36690 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/USPS-truck-flees.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"495\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/USPS-truck-flees.jpg 495w, https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/USPS-truck-flees-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/USPS-truck-flees-123x70.jpg 123w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAN RAMON, Calif.
