One of my colleagues notified me that my tyre was a bit low on my car when he walked by earlier, so I went to go take a look. Sure enough it looks a tad low, so will go top it up, and see what happens. However... On my walk back to the office, I spotted this..

In spoiler tags, because of the large picture... I have left it large to show the

It's not someone who works here normally and no one at reception knows who the otner is. The car is a total heap of a 407, with large scrapes all down it. So, OcUK, what would you do?

I kind of want to inform the authorities. I would hate to do nothing only for it to blow when driving, and cause a serious accident. The counter argument is that I should leave it well alone, it's none of my business.

Currently I am leaning more towards reporting it, and hoping the driver gets a VRN and the world keeps on spinning with his/her car a lot safer than before..
 
I left a note telling them the tyres were illegal and very dangerous.
The other front is illegal too.
I also said I would notify the police on Wednesday and send the pictures of the car to them.
 
Based on the reactions here, and a bit of thinking, I have reported the car to the police. They are aware, and seemed keen to know when I thought they would be leaving the office.
 
Situation update - Car is still here, my note has not been touched.
I should be leaving on time today so if they leave at a usual time, I might see what happens..
 
**Update**

When I left the office last night, it was still parked.

However... The car is back today, parked in another spot. No idea if the tyres have been replaced. Might go and take a peek later on, covertly, to see if there is any change to the tyres.

It may well be someone from the other offices here.

Currently my car is not yet keyed..
