Take note, Hollywood -- this is how you hit and don't run.
Colin Farrell did the right thing today after he smashed into the rear end of a car near the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood -- by leaving an apologetic note that included his phone number.
Bet you wish he hit your car ...

2. Now that is funny! How did TMZ get a hold of this, the owner of the car or were the paps following him when he did it?

7. The title of this story made me hot. Why'd you have to go and blur his number? his handwriting is horrid but his ass is fine.

8. No I don't wish a moron like this would have hit my car. I guess leaving a note was more appropriate than calling the cops. I guess the "celebrity" status that that some have gives these morons special privileges.

10. Now the real question is would he have left a note if the photographers were not around?
As for the retard implying that he should have called the cops. For what? It's property damage, they would not have taken a report anyway. What would have come by calling them? Do you think they would have come running with sirens blazing? Stupid!

12. Pamlover,
You are not supposed to bother the cops in situations like this. What are you thinking? It's not an emergency and no one was hurt. You are to leave a note on the car. You need to get out more often.

13. Michael, thousands of property damage accident reports are taken daily. He absolutely should have called the police. Leaving the scene of an accident is a big deal in most places.

14. Another reason why he didn't call the cops is if it's a parking area it's considered private property. Cops wouldn't of done anything exceot tell them to exchange names, insurance info and phone numbers. Which Colin Farrell did himself.

15. Forogt to add the reason I know this is because it happened to my mom and me in a doctors office parking lot a lady backed into my moms car and we called the cops, no report was written because it's private property, we exchange info and that was it.
