People who ding you in a car park and drive off..

My wife had one of these incidents this morning, came back to her car in the multi-storey to find a dent and big scrape. Really annoying when people don't need a note (all of the time in my experience), but there was a note on the screen this time.
Not from the guy who crashed though. Someone saw it happen, took a photo of the driver/van that did it, and got their registration plate. Bit of a result, this time they won't be getting away with the damage!
Does anyone know how I can find out the insurance company that insures a particular registration plate? Want to get in touch with them to get them to pay out.

Did you actually read the OP??The free check won't tell him the details of the insured car, the insurer, policy numbers etc - that's what he was after!

Bloody annoying, but much respect to the person who saw it and gave you the details. Definately work a nice bottle of wine in return.Not from the guy who crashed though.

Speak to your insurance company. Someone hit my car in the communal car park of the block of flats I lived in. No-one saw but I noticed the damage on his car. He denied it so I phoned my insurance company and they were able to use some insurance database to find out who his insurer is. My legal cover then kicked in and they took his insurer to court.
Took about two years but I won and got my excess back
All I had was a couple of photos, I think if the damage is small it is cheaper for the other insurer to pay up than fight it in court.

However after contacting the police they told me not to bother them as I can't prove he was drunk and 2 they had mire important stuff to deal with ( really hope they did )

Slightly off topic, I had a visit from two very nice policemen last year. A punter had reported me, he claimed that as I opened my drivers door to get in my car in ASDA car park, my door hit his mirror.
A. If I had and seen someone in the car, I would have apologised. You would, wouldn't you!
B. If I had I would have been checking my car for damage.
The police admitted there was no damage to the punters mirror, still took 2 policemens 30 mins of time, and a statement to which I added at the bottom, "In my opinion, the driver is lying".
Some mothers do av them.
