On Friday, I was hit by a car at Whole Foods at 119th and Metcalf in Overland Park. I was thoroughly checked out by a physician, X-rays, CT scans, blood work, etc., and was just told to take it easy for several days as I’m low energy and my body is incredibly sore. Thank god it wasn’t any worse.
The driver was backing out of a parking spot, and ran into me, hitting me into the back of my tailgate, as I was situating things in the back of my SUV. The driver drove off after hitting me. The car was an early 2000s silver Lexus with a red Kansas City Chiefs Hunt Foundation license plate that said AFC-1. I didn’t get a look at the driver or any pics or anything else. The parking lot was packed, and A woman drove by and looked at me as soon as it happened. But no one stopped to ask what happened or to see if I was okay.
I’m posting here to try and get in front of as many local folks as I can. We have to find the driver. Yesterday, the police let me know that Whole Foods does not have exterior cameras. They think the license plate is Missouri issued, so they are waiting for MO to get info on the plate. The police are investigating as a criminal hit and run. I would be so grateful if you could share this. I’m looking for anyone who may recognize this car or who may have been at Whole Foods on Friday.

That was my thought as well.
If I was a cop, seems like it's something I'd say to get some emotional dude off the phone/out of my face.
Are you hurt?
No.
Any damage to the car?
No.
Can we speak to the person who hit you?
They drove off.

Her car was probably too full of crap like old fast food bags to be able to fit the groceries in...that's why she had to get in the back and rearrange stuff [Reply]

Just my POV from working at a police department. It is absolutely believable that since there is nothing to go on an officer would say hey there is really nothing we can do about this I am sorry.
But generally telling people you are going to do something you are not actually going to do is a really easy way to get in trouble as a cop and it would be an absolute dumb unforced error when the easy path and something you have to do a 100 times a day as a cop is simply tell someone the truth even though they do not like it.
