It's not as farfetched as it seems, imo. It's not like they're operating a CSI style lab for every property damage call. And I know for a fact there is another vehicle of the same type/color as mine with the same first three letters on the license plate. If that car was involved in a hit and run near my house I think it's likely I get a call (or now, a forced entry to my home!)

Well your pristine car would have to have some damage on it. But ok. Let's say your car has some existing damage that matches the damage from a hit and run from a car that happens to be the same make and model as yours with the same license plate less a couple numbers. And let's say you happened to be in the area of the hit and run and match all other descriptions of the hit and run. And you have no other witnesses to your backyard drinking over the last two hours and all your toxicology reports are screwed up and don't match with what, when and how much you had to drink. Then, in that case, you could be be in a bit of trouble.
