The police turneed up at midnight at our door saying they were investigating a clipped wing mirror. They had my husbands details saying that someone had reported him for allegedly clipping someone's wing mirror and leaving the scene - 'Hit and run'

They left after they got a copy of his MOT, he couldnt find his driver's licence.The following morning they called and want him to go into the police station.

How serious is this?
I am a bit suspicious of this, I cant believe the police would turn up at midnight for a wing mirror offence?
Are they that short staffed that they think it is ok to knock on someone's door at midnight when children are asleep?
If not a thread revivial troll post...

Did your husband clip someone's mirror?
If he did, maybe someone reported it because late at night and could have suspected drink driving, hence the fairly quick response if a unit was available / in the area.
Also, how do you expect the Police to mind-read whether or not you have children and also know exactly when it would be more suitable to knock on your door?
