Some space cadet has hit my car in the car park and driven off! My blue ZT-T has been hit twice. Still fighting to resolve the first incident.

Will be posting in the wanted section for parts to fix the firefrost tourer now.

Oh no! there are some uncaring drivers about, hope the damage isn't too serious.

Thanks Andy. Front bumper, OS front wing, headlight and washer. Black trim from the other vehicle lying on the floor next to mine. They didn't even pick that up.

I will take a look in the morning when it's a bit lighter to better assess the damage.

Towrags. Any cctv in operation Ben? Worth a try. They are quick enough to get you when you overstay.

I got hit by a 4x4 in the rear left light and Asda said they wouldn't give me the CCTV or the number plate of the car

Feel for you Ben

Was it in the works car park*? If it is towards that secluded far corner even more mad. Van/truck turning perhaps? Check any regular delivery vehicles for damage next time you see?

Re the CCTV suggestion, if not covered by your company camera, is it possible that the guys with the big vehicles (on the other side of the fence) have anything show up on their camera? Long shot I know.

Hope you get sorted ok

The car park is a common car park for the local Co-op shop, chip shop, pub etc.

Car wasn't on a corner space. Just really clumsy driver.

I asked the Co-op and the chip shop but they don't know who operates the CCTV, so I've emailed the Police.

Unlikely to get anywhere, but I guess it's worth a try. I drive past it on the way home so will keep an eye out for suspect vehicles.

If a customer of mine had his car damaged while shopping on my premises, I would want to help him find the culprit, in the interests of my business and future trade. I was contacted by Newcastle police 2 weeks after I attended my daughter's wedding in my 4x4 MPV. I had unknowingly tapped a guest's Volvo while reversing out of the small hotel carpark, and had been caught on the hotel's CCTV, which they had willingly examined, and handed to the police. I didn't see the footage, but the description of the small C shaped crack in his bumper corresponded with the end of my rear nudge bar. New Volvo bumper including refitting the built in lights - £1,800. The MPV now has reversing sensors!
