I had someone reverse in to my last mk5 in my local big tesco car park. They hit it that hard that my car went into the empty parking space in front of it. They drove off without leaving any details.

I came out to see the back bumper hanging off, it was all covered on cctv, called the police who got the video and witness details and nothing ever came of it! Every time I called them I just got fobbed off.

Some people are just heartless wa*kers!
Jesus, sounds like I got off lightly in comparison.

Its a culture of selfishness and avoiding responsibility mate. Far too many dishonest people about who only care about the bubble they're in and wouldn't know how to stand up and face up. Twats.

Coppers are often useless as well, although most are pushed to the limit now after budget cuts. I like to think they'd do more to help with things like this if they weren't so stretched.

I bet he didn't even feel it in a Range Rover!

I think the MK5 has a tilt sensor, but not shock iirc.  They're notoriously flakey anyway.  If it's not the siren going, it's the interior sensors etc.  Dodgy ribbon cable in the headliner or something apparently.  Add that to the things to check when you get it scanned  :wink:

It's a shame people are so inconsiderate of others and can't fu**ing drive ffs what's wrong with people.

Sinse owning my car and previous cars I've had side swipes and front bumper number plate surround dented by some silly tw**s.
I park well away from people yet someone has to stick their car right up my bottom so to speak.

Lucky yours isn't the actual bumper and will be a cheap fix not that it justifies what the idiot did knowingly or unknowingly  :stupid:

I park miles away from the shop front when going into the local supermarket, but you either find someone parks next to you defeating the object,

'all those spaces, and you park next to me!!!'

Or someone knows why you've parked so far away, takes offence, and keys it anyway, as happened to my mates Merc, although, there could of been another reason, I don't know lol, he could of made an enemy somehow..ex gf or what not..I keep out of that side of things
