jonno 357 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Whilst dropping honourable son No1 off at school this morning I witnessed a split **** in a landcruiser srcap the rear bumper of a parked yellow megane car whilst she was trying to her motor at the side of the megane I don't think she had any idea she had scraped the megane but the bumper was clearly damaged What should I do ? The landcruiser owner lives directly opposite me and I also know the yellow megane owners husband only very informal The landcruiser is now parked up and as I type I can see the flecks of yellow paint on the bumper of the landcruiser Do I mention it to the landcruiser owner and tell them what they did this morning and for them to make contact with the megane owner ? See the Megane owners husband myself and rat on the landcruiser owner and be a witness to the accident ? Say nothing to either party ? Deploy Yorkshire in breed tactics of "whats in it for me" and charge the megane owner cash of answers ? Take a "large drink" from the landcruiser for vow of silent? What a Dilema!!!

simon.w Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 If you were the owner of the Megane what would you wish to happen? I don't see the dilemna, speak to the owner of the Landcruiser and tell them what you saw. Give them a day to do the honourable thing and if they don't then speak to the owner of the Megane.

Axe Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I would write a little note and pop it on the screen of the Magane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Worked for a man many years ago (@ 1985) It was a bloody cold winter and as we were driving down a side road he slid into a parked car denting it along the passenger side door. He got out and wrote a note which he stuck behind the windscreen wiper. I thought that this was a pretty good thing to do as several people had witnessed it, and I think this was appreciated by them as well because they all moved on without comment. It was only later that I found out that he hadn’t actually written anything on the note, but had simply pretended to in order to get out of any insurance payout. This was a company car and he wouldn’t have been personally out of pocket, so I thought that this was the meanest thing I had ever seen. I was tempted to give the bloke a call, but it could have resulted in a loss of my job………..wasn’t very impressed I can tell you. G.M.

Peter_HMR Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 If it were me id approach the megane owner?? (person who did the damage) and tell them what you saw and give them a chance to correct the situation if they dont tell the person with the landrover what happened.

Cranfield Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I would give the landcruiser owner the chance to do the right thing. They may intend to do that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Pat Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I'm with Darebear on this one, blackmail the guilty party till you have squeezed them dry, then grass them up to the megane owner for a reward. A win win situation. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
