Unhappy Hit and Run

While parked outside the office yesterday someone left me a little gift:



Hit the alloy too. Sadly no details left for me so I can't thank them. Security are going to check the CCTV on Monday as there are some cameras that are likely to have caught it. Hope so! Both the police and my insurers are keenly awaiting that.

On the bright side, the dealership I bought my car from (Sytner BMW, Cardiff) are listed as an approved body shop for repairs and in the grand scheme of things it is just a flesh wound. I feared the worst when my colleague pulled me out of a meeting I was chairing to see what had happened...

Heehee, well yes but I tend to walk to work so not many people know what car I have.

So this week I have learnt the full story behind what happened which is good but the CCTV footage is all terrible so we'll never get a registration plate. Sad really. Below is a capture from our building. The building in the background caught everything and has just as poor quality recording. Our neighbouring office building only records out of hours.



Late 90's VW Passat Estate?

Anywho, Sytner BMW (Cardiff) have been instructed by the insurance firm to carry out the works. Would have been good had it been Sytner Newport which is across the river from my house (not paying £200 extra for that privilege though).

If that was the state of parking where I was working, I'd walk as well.

At least you have a culprit and can keep an eye out and give the knowing stare at the driver who will suddenly find the pavment really interesting I bet.
