Avoids a weekend of listening to the Yorkshire spokesperson for the BNP based on previous posts.

What's so special about the 'round a swimming pool' bit?

I've just been rude to the French to even it up.
They assume I'm English, so it's a free hit

An update. One policeman investigation person says it’s a road traffic incident and the road traffic incident people say it isn’t so no one is looking at it.
God sake.

Should add ***no one*** will actually talk to me.
It’s just sequence of voicemail, *text back 10 hours later* voicemail, *text back 10 hours later*

How can it not be an RTA?
I've had a plod tell me, while I was picking up bits of my from wheel from under a car, that it wasn't careless driving because no one was hurt.
For context, in some countries, people who do too well in the entrance test aren't allowed into the police force....

Take the names of the people who have responded and contact the P&CC. If we have to go to the trouble of electing them may as well make them do something.

Hmm, that's the sort of thing I might try a tweet tagging them in. If they use Twitter to say how great they are, it's only fair to point out that they're not.

No names as it’s over text!

I have since found out the road traffic people only work primary school hours.

I’d still go to the P&CC (or maybe the Inspector of the local station in the first instance).

Im going to give up tbh. Deep down I know they won’t investigate it. Have never investigated anything else.
If they do eventually decide to look at the report they made me fill out 4 days ago.

Found a way to put the picture up.
So the white paint marks you can see on mine match paint on the car behind, which conveniently has a big black paint mark and a big old dent which would line up with a big smash when parallel parking.

Have (English) people lost all sense of personal space
Is it some sort of over compensation post Covid.
Yes, you're chatting to your friends but can you take two steps back there from my table.

Seeing as they didn't leave a note, perhaps a friendly note in return, attached to their windscreen with VHB tape?*
(*Don't do this, but imagining them trying to remove it might cheer you up)
Is the tyre just pushed off the rim rather than punctured?

yes I have left a note on the car saying “you crashed into my car. The police have been notified. Please call me on xxxx to exchange details”
There is a big chunk out of the tyre and you can see the alloy has been torn open so I suspect the seal is broken.

Or maybe you do!

How the hell did they do that much damage when they were presumably trying to park? Also, if you aren’t going to admit to it why wouldn’t you move your car away from the scene? Very odd!
There was a car just up the road from me in similar condition a few weeks ago, I saw someone trying to find who it belonged to but didn’t know if they had hit it or had seen it happen. It was a downhill bit of road that has clear line of sight so I really don’t know how someone went into the back of it.

Ergh. At a glance it almost looks like you could just snap the bumper back on and reinflate the tyre, but I'm sure in reality it's all bent out of shape. With those photos, your insurer can work out who the owner is and it doesn't look like there's much doubt about what happened.

Nah it really tore off on the driver side. On the passenger side it’s really smashed in.
its like they were full left lock reversing into the left rear of my car , and then dragged it full right lock to park.

You’d still think they’d have moved the car though. I assume it hadn’t been stolen if it was moved a couple of days later.

You'd have to be pretty drunk to do that then leave it there.

I reckon a boomer who didn’t even notice they’d done it.

The very short staffed polis have a never ending priority list of incidents to address. So a damaged motor is way down vs domestic violence et al. Did you torch the other vehicle or not? Satisfaction...

I’ve spent over a grand in excess, let alone how much I’m now paying in insurance premiums, in the last six months for people damaging my car whilst it’s parked.
The car keyer has keyed about another 20 cars so we’re looking at damage in excess of £40k. They could just try to catch him and stop it.
This is how the rot sets in in a community. No one care anymore. I don’t trust the police to help me. I’m not that far away from taking the law into my own hands as plainly the police won’t.
What are they gonna do? Investigate me? Lol

Have you though of getting one of those cameras that will record while parked?
