Sorry to hear this!

Nothing quite like the satisfaction of fixing it up then posting the pics up though to make it feel better :D

It's understandable - the frustration of such utter c unts getting away with it...

Some ol' duffer in an Accord tried it on my MX-5 when it was new; fortunately he was spotted by someone who kindly left a note for me. I suppose it's possible to not realise, if you are brain-dead or something.

Sorry to hear that mate :x
Had it happen to my fto when it was 4 years old. Busy Sainsburys carpark not far from entrance and came out to find a major crease down the passenger side from the back light almost to the headlight.
No note and nobody saw anything :roll: Almost 2k in repairs :twisted:

Same thing happened to my dad twice on 2 different cars. Both times the guy who hit him left a note with all his details.
The 2nd time was a few months ago and i repaired it for him for a mates rates since the guy was so honest. He was over the moon it wasnt hundreds.

There are a few good souls out there.

The problem is a lot of people see cars as 'just a car' not someone else's property or pride and joy. In their eyes a little dent or scratch doesn't stop it from getting from A to B so why worry about owning up, in their eyes they've done nothing wrong :roll:

Sucks big time. I still have one in the pickup from this jobby behaviour but unfortunately it's in the rear wing and can't just be unbolted and changed. Ok it's repairable but I have to have it repainted and then re sign written. Not cheap.
