I was at our local Hellfrauds today for some screen wash, I got some Zymol leather cleaner too, and in my usual style parked in a space away from the maddening crowds. When I got back to the car some red/maroon KIA MPV had parked really close to me in the adjacent space and I had an lovely ding on my front passenger door below the handle complete with matching red paint... Aarrghh
At least I had a chance to confront the owner of the Kia who had a snotty little kid in tow who had caused the ding despite proclaiming his innocence. After intially offering to buy me a bottle of T-CUT
she eventually agreed to pay for the repair using a dent-wizard type company. She gave me contact details (A name and telephone number which matches the local directory when I looked it up), I just hope she does pay and doesn't change her tune once I get a quote or has given me duff details. We both agreed it wasn't worth bothing insurance companies about.
I just wish people had a little more consideration for others *sigh*. She tore strips off Michael (the kid) but I thought to myself if she hadn't parked so b@$t@rd close to my car in the first place, little Michael could have opened his door without any worries. On the bright side, at least in this case I had a chance to catch the culprit.
S.
P.S. I also got pics of her vehicle in case she tries to duck paying for the repair. Handy things camera phones.
P.P.S. is it worth notifying my insurance and tell them I am dealing with the matter privately? What are your thoughts?
