Did you know that if you park your Omega away from the store entrance when you come back it will have been modified, with a nice set of scrapes down the drivers side rear door and just where the wheel arch starts a small fist size dent, also include is a large portion of bright blue paint. You even get a blank piece of paper under you wiper so you can record your comments, wonderful service.
Not as bad as it sounds really, the bump strip is not gouged so can be fixed and the dent is on the single skin area, just angry about it all.

I would be staking out the car park for a couple of weeks >:( ;) in another car, 8) as they will be back sometime for more shopping, then I would follow them back to their destination, and hey presto they would be left a little present, if you know what I mean. ;) ;) :-X

Waste of time - not the best of ideas ;D
How do you know who they are - going to examine every blue car that pulls into Tescos? Plus any damage on their car may have been blown in. ::)

Yup and take measurements to height of damage, I used to work in a bodyshop so will spot it when I see it ;) :y

Bad luck, sadly the sort of moron that usually leaves a wake of destruction in their path, cares little about their own vehicle let alone anybody else. >:(

Is it really worth all that effort? ???
Surely better to check if Tesco have CCTV footage ;)

They will have it but it is highly unlikely you will ever get access to it due to the data protection act, maybe a subject access request giving them 40 days to provide it but even then they can refuse.

Re: CCTV it might be there but cant access it as the state of the nation depends on it remaining highly classified, well that's what it felt like ;D Just need a good panel beater in/near Gloucester, the repair is relatively easy just that part on the arch that is flat before the curves, or if any one hear is good at it could travel.
-
Surely reporting this to the police, will get them access to the cctv, then you have your culprit, and hit and run criminal.

The Police wont want to know Jimbob! It is a minor incident and a Civil matter on Private Property :(

:y+1 they will only get involved if somebody is injured, the only people that would be able to get to see it is the insurance company and thier lawyers but you would end up losing no claims bonus, much better to stake out and get retribution like brick top would do. :-X :y
-
Sadly as said Police would not bother at all, have a friend at Frescos who will look into the CCTV for me, more concerned with sorting it to make car look good again

If you show the police the blank piece of paper, they might have a word with Tesco's cctv department ;)

Disagree, Chris got hit by an idiot in a supermarket car park, police followed it up correctly, identified the culprit, informed the Insurance co who paid, in full, for repairs to Chris's car, and we also got a letter from the police telling us the offender had been given a formal caution regarding her behavior.

A few shots of the damage, think I got away very lucky.

I wouldn't call that lucky tbh. Insurance company would probably write it off. A decent body repair man could fic it easy enough as a cash job though.
I would definitely speak to the store manager and the police.Its more than just a normal car park ding.
-
Images make it look really bad, but yes insurers may feel write off is best.
CCTV shows a blue car (no kidding Sherlock) reversing to fast, hitting mine, driver gets out looks at damage about to get in and drive off then hesitates and does the note thing, no VRN though only cameras that can get that are in the petrol station, BUT the car sparked a memory with the CCTV operator, more to follow.
Just need a good tin basher now.
