Somebody smashed into my parked car yesterday and drove off. Anyone have any dash cam or CCTV around goldenhill of a black 57 plate bmw around half three in the afternoon yesterday with it’s driver side front wing hanging off. Let me know as I have parts of car I’d like to return to him/her. I’m pretty sure I have the car as conveniently a 57 plate bmw parked around the corner has the same parts missing and my paint all up his front wing. But obviously I need as much info as I can for my insurance and the police who I have passed all of this on to

Wouldn't waste your time with the police (not in the first instance anyway).
Call their bluff. Knock on their door saying that you have cctv footage of him/her crashing into your car and you want to get it sorted. If it is them I'd be surprised if they deny it, you know where they live and all...

If so the Police will support you with all the repression at their disposal. Good luck with your problem. A crap way to start the New Year! |

Copper was really helpful he said he had 24 hour report it so he was going pressure him about little time left it’s on record he’s admitted guilt now so I’m sorted. |

Your insurers might ask you to pay your excess even though it’s not your fault, hit and runs are a pain in the arse so what normally happens is the insurer fixes/writes off the car through your own policy then recovers the cost back from the Third Parties insurers, providing they are insured, rather than wait for them to admit liability and leaving you carless for ages.
If you have the reg I can check who he’s insured with as I have access to the MID, if he’s not insured it’s a case of running an uninsured driver claim through the MIB which takes forever to do and is not always a guaranteed outcome.

But obviously I need as much info as I can for my insurance and the police who I have passed all of this on to It should be quite simple mate the parts should be numbered in some way to identify what car they were fitted and the paint in your car will be the same as in the offering car the police hopefully would take a sample of the paint from both cars to make a forensic match. I doubt it will come to that I'd hope the police just knock on and confront the owner and get the truth but it needs to be ASAP before he gets it cleaned. Take some pics of the damage on the other car also including your paint on it. Edit: ah all sorted 👌 |
