Hit and run.. not that far.. another case?

[ScoobyDoo69]

Guys,

I hate to create a thread similar to one that went on before, but I believe the neighbour has hit the wife's Fiat 500 in the rear quarter panel.

The neighbour denies it, there has been no exchange of paint, but the bumper shape matches the dent on the car.

Neighbour has a newish Vauxhall Corsa where the rear bumper has those sticky out bits. The dent on the wife's car matches the height and shape of this and there is a lower scratch on the panel that matches where the lower part of neighbours said bumper could have potentially impacted.

No witnesses, no proof other than in my opinion matching damage/dirt missing.

What would be the best course of action?

Pics to follow...

Thanks

If you want the dent removing, get local PDR guy round, pay approx £70 to get the dent removed, take it on the chin, move on with life.

A witness grabbed you when you were pulling up on the drive and saw him make contact? You'd have to be certain though, which i don't think you could be. You would be hoping he would panic and fess up?

Whilst it's highly likely, how can you be 100% sure?

We once had someone knock on the door asking if one of our cars was in an accident with their car (it had a few car park scrapes on it) I said I'd check with the driver but didn't think it was. Was reassured it wasn't.

It's annoying but without proof I'm not sure what you can do.

Unfortunately the dent has cracked the paint so it's not as simple as dent removal. Don't think I'd be as bothered otherwise...
