Check for damage. Be decent about it and he may well be back otherwise show him the video.

Isn't there an issue here of a disclaimer?

I thought you could only use CCTV footage in legal cases when it is stated that you are being recorded otherwise it is non-admissable evidence.

I may have watched far too much Perry Mason (and yep I know that's american) as a child.

Please can someone confirm for me.

As for approaching someone you know, be fair and honest with them, but do not mention the footage at first, see how they react when approached and if they decline ownership of the issue then mention it and wlecome them in to view it.

Hi Moggy

We recently had CCTV fitted because of our neighbourhood issues - we spoke to a CCTV company who clearly told us that to stand up in a prosecution the date & time stamp would be needed. However, I would imagine that in your case, handled in a friendly way, you could be able to lever a non insurance cash payment??

Time and date stamp is only required for criminal prosecution from my experience of vandalism to a car. The image must also be clear enough that there is no doubt about facial features!

As MT says this is civil and I would recommend his approach. Piss the guy off and you could end up with a criminal vandalism case if you get my drift.

Moggy you coming to the Manchester meet on Monday, would be good to compare notes on 1stLotus day!

I did, Paul - before I renewed last time, I checked with three different online quote engines (from memory, Frizzell and Tesco - can't remember the third) and got quotes based on excluding the no-fault claim and then again with it in, and they came back with the same figure.

Moggy

just been to inspect the car. I couldn't find any damage

When I look at the tape he gives it a good thump-maybe he has got them door protectors on.

There is a crack in the bumper-however I am sure this was done before monday.

I was going to rent out my house through him. Not any more-so he's got his cum-uppence in a round about way

Revenge and he doesn't even know it!
Does this mean you won't be at any more Manchester meets - off down to Aylesbury for a bit

Bada Bing!

Have a word anyway. Let him know the S was damaged, and you've got CCTV in place to make sure you catch anyone should it happen again. He might have a bit more respect next time.

Moggy

yep-can't do manc meets

anyone up for an aylesbury meet

Moggy - good luck down south
