Default Hit and Run....

Hello all. I'm sad to be writing this. Today whilst at work, dealing with the on going misery that is my day job, a useless cretin managed to hit my car, what appears to be several times.

I didn't think anyone could be this f*cking inept at driving. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.






All the usual CCTV checks have been asked for. All of which have resulted in nothing. I'm pretty devastated, it looks bleak at the moment. The cretin may never be found...

If anyone has any advice for me, with regard to reputable bodyshops in the Wiltshire area. I would be very grateful!


Edit:Images fixed.

I feel for you, when the wife's Seat got hit it looked similar damage, one hit as the initial contact then an "awe feck it" and then just continue right down the side.

Absolute nightmare, sorry to hear.

What makes it worse is I bet you parked it way out with no cars around too. I'm a bit paranoid leaving the S in public spaces for this exact reason.

Exactly that mate, I'm always paranoid! Ironically, I wasn't yesterday because I'd picked a corner space, with nothing either side of me due to its location.

That's the last time she comes to work with me I think...

i don't get how some people get a driving licence when they clearly cant even park. feel for you, hopefully you get it sorted and its back to its former glory soon.

Worst thing is you work with the guy. try looking around the car park for another car with some blue paint on that may have rubbed off.

Unfortunately, I was in the Visitor's Car park - it's used as an overflow for staff when the site gets busy. So, it could be absolutely f*cking anyone...

I'm going for a few wanders today, I know it's a long shot, but if I find a car that matches the damage pattern then it's worth the inquiry.
