Angry Upset - Wouldn't you be!

Parked my car in a multistorey as I had an appointment with the bank.

This is what I came back to.

As you can imagine I am P*ssed off big time.

Whilst its a pisser; its worse than it looks... You will need a sidelight of course but the bumper will come back out with a heat gun or a tub of very hot water; then itll only need fill-in painting.

Great!!

Obviously no note under the windscreen wiper?

I don't know why, but in the 50's 60's and 70's a note would have been left with contact details!

Why are the people of today like this??

If they have CCTV you have a legal right to view the footage. Probably be blurred and at an angle which won't help identify anybody/thing, but it's worth pursuing if they have it.

A sensible post

Seriously in those days I guess insurance wasn't so expensive (could the older members correct me on that?) but now everyone seems more interested in their own no-claims than anyone elses

Its not all that bad. I've had soo many knocks whilst my car is parked well out of the way that I give up. I just smile and think "it could've been worse".

Sad that nobody leaves a note nowadays though and you have to pay for the damage yourself.

I've seen a few, and of the ones that didn't leave a note, I did it for them.

Hi

The vehicle that hit you was white, from the look of the scuff marks. Ask to see the tape for the period during your stay and see which cars leave or enter and get the details of all the cars that are white. There might be only a couple of cars.

Contact the dvla and ask for the details of the registrations as they were involved in an incident.

To be honest Guys i put it down to bad luck.

I've been to the dealers and already replaced the sidelight. Got a couple of quotes looks like about £150 so new spoiler is out until next month!

Plus I have calmed down a bit know it doesn't seem so bad.
