The Great Tesco Car Park IDIOT
Discussion
local Tesco car park
witness a taxi driver in a skoda octavia push his trolley half way across the car park
the trolley then hit a Fiat 500 on the side and made a considerable dent on the door
the driver then jumped into his taxi and sped off, the woman then got out and understandably shouted expletives in his direction
she then went into Tescos and ask if they had CCTV, which they wouldn't let her see
the dent it's pretty severe, an improvement on the looks of the 500 some would argue, but i would reckon it would take around 200-300
being a good citizen i said i would get advice on her best course of action and let her know
what i want to know is, does the lady have any issue with going to the police and getting them to demand CCTV from Tesco
or is it a bit of a lost cause?
i would imagine that as their CCTV covers all the carpark that this c**t pushing the trolley would be clear as day
and what are the chances if the police have his CCTV that they would persue it?

Left from the scene of an accident, so call BiB.
Tesco will let them review footage, but not every random who asks.
Well it's not as the guy was pushing the trolly.Tesco will let them review footage, but not every random who asks.
Still the foia applies so get the tape, but it's going to be a civil case and I'm sure for the 500 owner easier to pay out of your own pocket and forget it.
Still the guy is a muppet of the highest order for running away

There was a template letter example posted on a similar thread here not long ago, regarding getting hold of video footage.
I can't seem to find it right now.
I saved it just in case I ever may have required its use. I've quoted what I had saved and cant guarantee that it is correct.I can't seem to find it right now.

Tell the victim to report it to the police. It's an offence, and they can use the information you have as a witness (the numberplate) and your account without having to rely on CCTV. CCTV of the offence would be the cherry on top but it probably won't prove anything on its own (i.e. faces not visible, numberplates not readable etc).
i used to work in insurance settling liability, used to just have to ring around a few people at head office to get authorisation sent to the store manager to release the footage to us. done it with tesco myself so theres no need to write letters, just get on the phone.
police wont have much of an interest in it tbh
