Yeah yeah, I know, a rant (but not the best I agree).

I would just like to thank the scrote who drove his van into my wifes car and then drove off without stopping. This happened 3 days ago and was only discovered this morning when she went out to the car to go to an important meeting in Cumbria. On the plus side, there was a nice couple walking by who witnessed the incident and so did the decent thing, took the reg number and left us a note under the windscreen wiper leaving the other vehicles details as well as their own details so we contact them if needs be.

I have already been to the police who took the initial report and will get someone to come round to have a look at the damage and take the full statement, maybe even taking paint samples, apparently. I have never been in this situation before so I trust they will do all this and fully investigate as surely its a case of leaving the scene of the accident etc.

Does anyone know of a way for us to track the reg number of the other vehicle, NOT for me to act as a vigilante, but just to confirm the details are correct etc.

The mib database allows
you to check your own car details. One could bend the truth and put another registration in there...

Thanks for the info, I was able to find out what the vehicle is and that its currently insured from a different site, so thats eased my suspicions, I will now let the Police do their stuff and see whats happening now.

Someone brushed a trolley up against my mums car a few weeks ago.
She's got a a brand new 10 plate Mazda 2.
Left no details or anything, just a scratch on the side of her car frown
Parked away at the back of the car park as well, to try to avoid it!
