Who left the car park without wishing to be thanked.
From the expanse of broken lens plastic and glass left behind pretty clear that damage to their vehicle was substantial. Behind the user friendly plastic bumper on a Land Cruiser lurks a BFO transverse steel girder arrangement which is bolted directly onto the ladder chassis.
I have polished out the paint marks and levered things back into place.
The headlamp units have plastic protective covers on and that saved the cost of a new unit, which are not cheap. The cracked bumper is probably amenable to a small area repair but the headlamp wash unit had been destroyed, which was a swine as the remains of the unit still attached to pipe fell down behind the bumper & siphoned all the washer fluid out.
So many thanks for your gift, whoever you are. May your left ear wither and fall into your right pocket.
