Video set up

The house where the car is parked has got one of those PIR bleepers which we have set up

Without the HT lead it will never start

What a friggin Sunday morning

I was woken up by my neighbour at 8:30 asking whether I had seen my car

Well I subsequently found out that at 3:00am this morning My car was hit with enough force on the Drivers side to break the Passenger side front Wheel

My neighbour informed me that a vehicle was parked up round the corner with damage that could have been caused by the collision

I went over to investigate and sure enough reflector glass was identical and the wheel trim bits matched with bits left by my car

I came back to ring the police at 8:45 AND I AM STILL WAITING

The car has only just come back from the repair shop after being rear ended

Phil!

OUCH!!! :( [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Hope that you get it all sorted out quickly mate.

Ian

Have you got photo's of the other car?

If not, get round quick. Include a copy of yesterday's or today's paper in the picture to completely prove the date.

That is sh*t M8.

Have the feds turned up yet?

I take it you've made a note of the number plate, just in case somebody decides to remove the other car. Or is it joy riders\stolen motor do you reckon?

Gutted for you mate. :( Hope it's sorted soon.

Steve

Pictures and a Witness

Plus various bits of his car in my boot for safe keeping

;)

Oh God ! Feel sorry for you dude.

As ChrisB suggested, get round quick with a (FILM!) camera and get pictures of the other car and yours.

Hope you get that sorted out quick, I feel your pain just from seeing the pics.

I'll put money on the fact that whoever was driving the other car was pissed. He/she dumped the motor and did a runner! I've seen it many times before.
It happened just outside my place one night and the two blokes made off. One of the soppy sods went down a dead end, so a few of us found him and "persuaded" him to return to the scene!
Hope the driver is traced, unfortunatly they'll be sober enough for the breath test by now?

Phil,

I'm really sorry to see that m8 :(:(:(:( Particularly after all the crap you'd had to deal with on the recent damage [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Like the man said, make sure you have some pictures on a non-digital camera (as digital pictures are not accepted as evidence).

I would hassle the Police and tell them that due to the time and nature of damage, it is almost certainly a drunk driver, that you have a witness and request them to go round and breathalise the driver. Just sometimes they are keen to nick drunk drivers and the driver may still be over the limit! Make a fuss and make it clear if they don't attempt to catch the likely drunk driver, you will kick up a stink. Get the name of the officer you speak to and get the name of their boss and the name of the head of their Police force - make it clear you will *not* accept apathy in this case and will complain to the highest level if something is not done!!!!!!

Good luck m8,

Matt [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Thanks Guy's

Just taken some real film pictures

Plod just turned up

The car is registered to a Lady in Ilford [30 miles away] and at the moment it is not reported stolen.

Police are going to get the car impounded for SOCO to have a look at it

Police reckon its either

1. D&D and abandoned to avoid prosecution

2. Stolen and not reported yet

3. Sold by regestered keeper and there for possibly 1.

Of to the body shop AGAIN


Phil

Also...... provided you don't put yourself or anyone else in undue danger,

Get some paint samples from your car (both paint colors - ie. your car and the offending car)

Get someone else to get paint samples from the other car.

This avoids cross-contamination issues.

however, if the other car's nicked, then this complicates things somewhat.

BuRR,

I am right in thinking that if a car is stolen and then damages someone else's propery (in this case Phil's), that 3rd party can then claim of the car owners insurance policy?

Hopefully, either way, Phil can claim off the owner/driver's insurance!!

Phil are they going to go and breathalise the owner?

Matt.

They are going to call on the owner to ascertain whether it was hers

I think personally it was joy riders from Ilford

the only thing is that they locked the car when they left it


##########STOP PRESS#############

Police have returned and have just gone in to one of the neighbours houses

Be back soon

Phil

Usually, I think so, yes. Also, the MIB (Motor Insurance Bureau) covers this kind of thing if the car is stolen.

FALSE ALARM

Any way a bit of "good news"

Police said it shouldn't be driven so I thought how am I going to get it to the garage

I don't let my insurance nominated garage touch it

Subaru Assistance I thought

Well what a very helpful bunch of people

"do you want us to come out to check whether its drivable sir or would you prefer just to have it recovered"

Just recovered please

"What time in the morning sir"

8.30

Thats fine sir we will see you then


FIVE STAR LADS

Phil

Hi Phil just saw you car that is really bad luck. I really hope you get it sorted.

I was just admiring your car the other day, when I was driving pass.....

Sorry to hear about the damage.. Just hope the police finds the culprit.... yet again you have all the hassle of getting things sorted with insurance company etc...

BTW

I can still make to Rally GB IF I win the tickets ;)

Would you bloody believe it

I am sitting watching West Ham and I see three youths pile out of a Sierra and start looking over the Rover that has been abandaned

Then one gets a key and opens it

At this stage I am discreetly legging towards them all 18.5stone of me

They spoted me and pile into the Sierra and of they go

E943 *** on a Gunmetal Sierra

Car is now unlocked and left accross a neighbours drive

The car stinks of booze

999 rung but they were long gone

:(

Phil

Got my camera now set up just incase they turn up again

Phil

This is nail biting stuff... keep us posted..!! cant believe that....!!!!

Dan

Hope you catch the tw@ts that did this to your pride and joy [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

you need some1 ready nearby to give chase. Don't think the police would like that though, just because they can't do their job doesn't mean others are allowed to!!

Phil

Open car = open bonnet and remove HT lead.

Let them get in car, try to start it and they are buggered.

Loads more time for you to get there.

Nathan..

Now thats a good idea

I'm just off over the road

Phil
