Dave1981 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 So come to my car this morning and found the following on it. Looks like some has used me as a battering ram as it's been shoved a gd 3 mtr down the rd from where I left it.. reported to cops as no details left and insurance as it's undriveable now so being collected but I've been warned cud be a total loss as boot no longer shut properly, spare wheel well is deformed and rear springs r cracked. Not a gd start to the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddyOS Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 That's such a p*** take, seriously who does this? Really sorry for you bud! Anyone around got CCTV/security cameras? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Was it bin day today? That has to be a large vehicle that's done that, judging from the size of the damage and the ability to shove your car presumably with the handbrake on or left in gear. Plus someone in a car would have had to known they'd hit yours and would have stopped on first impact, not continued to shove. Bad luck mate. That really sucks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1981 Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Yeah was in reverse handbrake etc.. close inspection of rear shows marks from a scaffolding van where the poles lay on the bed. House nearby has got new scaffolding up. My guess is a lorry has reversed into it n shoved it. It's being recovered tomorrow by insurance No CCTV n all neighbours I've asked said didn't see or hear owt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's being recovered tomorrow by insurance Have you been to the house with the scaffolding up to ask for the company name that they've used? (It would have to be a pretty big coincidence if the damage was caused by another companies wagon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan P Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 This is terrible. I was feeling a bit peeved because someone had clipped my wing mirror, so I can only imagine how bad you feel. Hope insurance gives you a fair price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
