Wife had her car heavily reversed into today. It is street parking but a private road shared by the school she works for and large residential houses along it. The parking space is private to the school.
Anyway, wife was alerted to the thump by the porters of the school, and as it is covered by CCTV they viewed the footage and effectively the guy in the opposite house tw@atted his car into the wife's bumper with a good old force. Then drove off and parked his car in his house as if nothing had happened.
Wife went with the porters to confront him, and he made up a cock 'n' bull story about he thought he hit a lamppost, blah, blah, blah.
Has left the bumper with a dent and loads of scrapes, plus panel scrape. But, car is only worth £500, so we can live with it. Otherwise if we claim on the guys insurance the car will be written off given it is such a low value and repair will cost the same as the car is worth. Car is very reliable so don’t want it written off.
But, we'd like to teach the guy a lesson, as this stuff really p!sses me off. Plus he had a big pile of a house in SW London, so not like he was skint
Any suggestions?
