Just popped into Texaco/Summerfields to pick up a few bits on my way back from a nice drive.

After I paid and came back to my car I saw someone had left me a little present:

What kind of moron hits a bright silver car in a petrol station swarming with CCTV cameras and drives off without admitting what they have done?!

Will be reporting to the Police (located opposite the garage) tomorrow morning when they open. Will let them track down the idiot...

Sorry: need to vent [:mad:]
 
No apologies needed. I never leave mine in a supermarket car park because of all the dings I have collected on my other car. But you can't avoid buying fuel. Hope you catch the b£$%&*(*[:mad:]
 
Thanks. I don't hold up much hope though as last time I had a hit and run late at night on a roundabout in London, the Police never found the guy.

I am just hoping the CCTV cameras caught the collision. I was only in the shop for about 3 mins so that should narrow down the culprits considerably.
 
Damn sorry to hear about this [:mad:] That is terrible that someone could do that and drive away, I hope that the police catch them [:mad:]
 
Did you notice any green cars about when you went in?

Bastards for not owning up, hope it isn't too expensive to sort.

Having a really bad day - now my Sky HD box has just blown!! [:(]

Getting better...

Although Sky support wanted to charge me for an engineer to come out and replace the box, I unplugged everything, re-did all the cable ends, plugged everything back together again - and now works fine. Saved me a few hundred quid!

Now if only the Porsche problems could follow suite...


 
This s*cks big time. I had a moron backing in up into my front bumper in the parking lot of a 2 Michelin star restaurant.
Not that it will make you feel better, just to point out that it can happen everywhere.
 
likewise with me-some b**ger not only decided to use my carriage drive to reverse into cos he /she couldnt be ar*ed to drive 20 yards to a turning bay,h/she then drove straight into the front of the porsche and off .sadly no cctv in the drive but prob wouldnt have caught the lowlife anyway......
my sympathies alex[:mad:]
 
F**kwits!!! And I hope the garage has it on CCTV and the cops get em.
Why are people so so careless ...... makes me mad seeing that.

Kx
 
[:'(][:'(][:'(] Really gets you wound up, but part of life sadly.. had it done myself but luckily in the van.

I hope the CCTV can see something and I hope even more so that they are insured... or else its another thread in the making [:(]

Very sorry to hear about that.

Happened to my wife in a hospital car park: she had just got into car, putting on seat belt, hadn't even started engine and some plonker reversed into rear of vehicle. Got out - chap explained "sorry but sun was in his eyes - no damage anyway" and drove off before she could even inspect it for herself (broken light, dented boot lid). Luckily a witness saw everything.
Police were not helpful in this instant : not being on a public highway it wasn't within their remit - to even get them to take a report of the incident at non-local station to incident (necessary for insurance co. to chase 3rd party) matter had to be escalated.
All resolved in the end but it takes time to get through the hoops.
 
Thanks for all the support guys [:)]

Just been down to the local Police station. Filled out a 'non stop road traffic collision' report. Now the report needs to be sent from Reading to Oxford, and I should get my incident report number after Thursday. Painful - the police all complain about paperwork, why isn't this stuff just put straight onto a central computerized database. Then the local police just need to cross the road to proceed with the investigation...

I have also contacted my OPC and they are sending a body-shop person to my house this morning to look at the damage and get a quote. I have a £1500 excess on my insurance policy so I doubt it will be worth me making a claim. So I will pay for the repair myself and then *hope* the police find the person responsible. I think there is up to a £2500 fine for people that cause damage and don't stop/report. What are my chances though of getting any justice - probably pretty slim [&:]
 
UPDATE...

Just rang the garage to make sure they kept the CCTV footage until the Police get their reports logged.

Seems the Police already have taken the footage away with them to review. Wow - in only an hour or so, that's got to be a Police record! [;)]

 
Great news

Just hope they are not one of the great untaxed uninsured morons mind you if they were probably would not pay for petrol either!

Good luck hope they are caught
 
£1500 to completely replace the bumper. They don't think it will be necessary though as they can't see any splits. So just a repair for the scratches and respray.
The only issue will be matching the paint so won't ever be like new

Alex I am pig sick for you I really am, it makes my blood boil this sort of thing.

Good to hear that the police collected the CCTV footage so promtly.

Keep us posted [;)]
