Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your help with this, though I didn't realise this thread was still live as this accident happened in June 08!

I bit the bullet and got insurance to fix it as the whole bonnet and front bodywork needed replaced, so all sorted, but a shame.

I hope everyone's keeping an eye out for those white vans.

Simon

Great, thanks.

Just had a Google but can't find Dulwich van hire - if anyone can offer an idea of where it is that'd be great.

Hi,

I buy lots of Amazon books so to avoid 'needing to be' in I've paid for a PO Box at the Silvester Rd collection point. Usually works well (the guy Melvin there is great) but some letters sent there have been returned to sender as 'address inaccessible', all a bit of a mystery.

Simon

Sean - thanks for the offer, I've obviously missed that now, but if I check out the comedy at the EDT I'll keep an eye/ear out for you.

Dulwichmum - thanks for the tip, very helpful, and I think your blog looks great.

Allfornun - great idea, thanks. If there's any other hire places nearby let me know and I'll have a look.

Interesting, thanks.

I'll keep an eye out for anyone using the road with a big chunk of yellow on their tyre...

Hey Sean,

Thanks. Makes the day all a bit boring.

Hi everyone,

I've never posted before but wondered if anyone might be able to help. Seems like a long shot but I've got nothing (more) to lose!

Fancy helping catch a criminal?!

It's a lovely sunny afternoon in East Dulwich and I just heard someone crunch into my car parked outside my house (the bend in Colwell Rd, East Dulwich), and keep going.

Very boring.

Especially cause I love my little yellow mini.

So they cut the corner too fine, hit the wheel, and have chewed up the bonnet and ripped off the trim.

I'm insured, but claiming will screw up my 9 years of no claims bonus (I managed to drive around Australia for 25,000km's without needing to claim!), and I'll also have to pay the ?250 insurance excess.

A double slap in the face. And the police station admit there's little chance of finding them.

So instead, I'd much rather put the ?250 to better use:

I'm offering ?250 to anyone who helps me find out who did it (I can keep your name private), so the other driver's insurance pays for it, I don't get screwed, and you get ?250 for good karma.

And maybe the driver will learn not to screw people over.

So keep an eye out for a car (sounded like a van or light truck, maybe with a trailer), around the East Dulwich, SE22 area, with the rear, left corner dented and scratched to buggery with bright yellow paint. My car has white scratches so I'm guessing that's from the other car - a white van man perhaps?

My gut wonders if it was someone driving back from a local pub.

Give me a bell on 07949-373282 or send me a message.

Please pass on this story to friends!

Thanks for any help,

Simon
