Car damaged, no details left.

Last night my OH left her car parked in its usual spot around the back of the house, there was a skip opposite but its an unsurfaced road so doesn't get much traffic.
She didn't notice it first thing but I get a call about lunch time and a pic of this!



Now its only a £600 Mazda but it is her first car, her P&J and she takes great pride in it.

We suspect its a neighbours van (LWB Transit) who was parked in front this morning but not when we parked up last night. Could this have been casued by one of those full width rear steps you get on some vans? Either that or a side step on a 7.5t truck I think.

Anyway, not much you can do without a witness...

Can any body repairers give an estimate?

Haven't asked around yet or seen the van but it tends to be around a fair bit. Din't notice if the skip was there or not as I wasn't parked there but I'll check with the mrs in the morning. Fairly certain there will be no cctv around there too.

Some real cretins around, why is it so difficult for people to take account for their actions!

Can't imagine you'd get much change from £300 looking at that, and that would be a cheap place

Thats kind of what I had in mind too, the door will probably be ok with a t-cut but the arch is fairly dented I'd guess push out, fill, sand, respray.

Sadly these kind of threads tend to crop up far to often on here.
