    BEIJING, Aug. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- Maybe Britney Spears thought running her car into a parked car was no big deal, even though paparazzi took photos and videos, so she checked out the damage to her car and went shopping.

    But Kim Robard-Rifkin, owner of the damaged silver Mercedes-Benz, filed a police report Thursday after seeing the incident on TV. Robard-Rifkin, 59, even waited three days to give Spears a break, but on Wednesday told the entertainment website CelebTV.com that nobody from Spear's camp had contacted her about the damaged car.

    "It's sad because I was really hoping she'd step up and be a mensch, be a human being," Robard-Rifkin said. "It was simply like my car didn't matter to her, my inconvenience didn't matter to her."

    A video on CelebTV.com, taken Monday, shows the 25-year-old pop star (with a puppy on her lap) attempting to park her black convertible and hitting the adjacent car.

    Robard-Rifkin, a registered nurse, said she was "sort of amused and sort of shocked" when she learned it was Spears who hit her car, and figured she would hear from the entertainer.

    "There were obviously a lot of paparazzi there and what kind of person wouldn't realize that this (would) be on TV and she had to be responsible and contact me," she said.

    "I'm not asking for money. I'm not asking for a new car. ... I simply want my car fixed, the same as I would fix somebody's car if I had done that."
