[Sir Tigger KC]

So the bloke who hit my Mondeo at Tesco yesterday has given me a fake address... 

I guess there must have been witness's which is why he went to customer services and got them to call me out on the tannoy, so he could be seen to be doing the right thing. 

The west London address he gave doesn't exist.  The postcode is for an industrial park and there is no road in the area with the same name, although there is a road with a similar name and postcode.

He seemed like a decent chap and said he didn't want to go through insurance and said that he would pay for the damage to be repaired and at the time I didn't really consider that he didn't have insurance. You never know though.... 

The damage to my car is minimal and now I've cleaned it up, I have to look hard to see it so I'm not that bothered to be honest. 

It's just strange and a reminder that often the people who you think are decent can turn out to be scumbags!

I wonder if he actually has insurance.

Find out where he lives and send some 'big lads' round to have a chat with him.

I wonder....

I have the reg number of his BMW so I could track him down I guess. 

Who is he? and what was he doing in Devon?

Mention whats happened to the Police, although they won't be interested in the incident they may not like that he has misled you, they can find who he is from the reg

[STEMO]

He may have 'borrowed' the car.

Strictly, it's against the law to check the insurance on any car other than your own. That's why it says 'ownvehicle'.
Not that it's ever stopped some people who I cannot name

That's the way that con artists and scammers work i'm afraid. Come across as as decent person to gain your trust purely to get their grubby hands on your assets. Saudis have the right idea for these vermin.  Rant over.

Nothing as barbaric as that. Cat o'nine tails though, that would be a good deterrent.

Might take six <=> twelve months to get the RK details from Plod.

You could complete form V888 and send to DVLA. There's a fee, looks like £2.50. That gets you the RK details.

You can get the details of the other parties insurance here, if the vehicle is insured. There's a fee of £4.50. The basic AskMid free check only tells you if there is any insurance on the vehicle.

"The date of the accident and the registration details of the other vehicle are required to search on askMID. If the registration is found on the MID, you will receive on screen the insurance details: policy number, name of insurer and the claims contact details to help you progress a claim."

Are they not good reasons then?

Totally different to what you suggested. No good for Sir Tigger.
