Afternoon,

Just been to Tesco to get some bits and bobs. As I come back to the motor, I notice an eardley couple beside my car. (Im abit weary of old couples). Pop the shopping into the boot, and start to head to my door. For some reason I turn around and see this shopping trolley, (that the old granny was using) making process for my back left hand side. I actually jump and stretch in the air to make this trolley does not hit my car, which is does'nt. She kept saying sorry dear, and I really did feel for her. But let's say that my James Bond day's where up and the trolley did hit my Trophy, what would happened, if they lady said, "well that's not my problem, im not paying for it. The outcome was, car saved, extremly sore fingers, and I quote to her, "You need to be more careful dear, as the next person might not be as nice as me". Think I pulled chaps.

PS. The car already has a dent on the other side, due to a shopping trolley.

Criminal damage by her (damage or destroy property or be reckless as to whether such damage would be caused). A job for the cop - continuity would be needed i.e. you saw her damage the car.

Accidents are NOT criminal damage. Unless there is an element of recklessness. Annoying but true.

Crime with a suspect on the end - sanctioned detection - I'm sure they'd be interested.

Actaully you are probably right.
I can see the armed response units, helicopters and dog units now.
Granny would probably be detained indefinately under the prevention of Terrorism act.

Just think how many boxes that would tick.

And welcome to the world of modern British Policing!

Tesco used to repair cars damaged by their shopping trolleys...no idea if they still do.

For accidental damage like this the Police wouldn't be involved, probably the only way is via small claims??? Bit pointless imho.
