I just happen to look out of our bedroom window this morning to see one neighbour reverse into another neighbour's car. Our house is set back from the road and kind of sideways on to it so the road is about 40 - 50 meters away, at about 0730 this morning I could hear an engine running and ice scraping etc, I went to the window and looked a little to the right up our drive, I could see our direct neighbour had reversed onto the road and was at an unusual angle, as I watched she carried on reversing and hit another neighbours car that was parked on a grass verge opposite, I heard the bang, she then moved forward a couple of meters and got out and took a cursory glance before getting back in the car and driving off. Of course she may have called or texted the other neighbour to say that she had bumped their car and would catch up with them later - or she may not have as we reckon that the respective neighbours are on passing the time of day terms at best. So what should I do? Risk frosty neighbourly relations by dobbing her in? Mention it to her so she knows someone saw her? ... Reply to this message | Report message

>> Anonymous note through the letter box ? >> Thought of that, though if I can see the bump, then someone else can see me put a note through either letter box or on the windscreen. I will try to see if there is any damage - though when someone drove into the side of the rear bumper on out 120i at the station, right in front of my eyes, there was no apparent damage though a vent was dislodged which allowed water into the box that controls the parking sensors.

Yes, but to her face. Go and see her and tell her you saw it happen and can she assure you she has informed the owner of the car. If not, you feel duty bound to do so. Simple. Pat Reply to this message | Report message       2

>>Anonymous note through the letter box ? If you're going to get involved, do it honestly. If you do not feel able to speak openly to one, other or both, then say nothing. Don't be sneaky. Reply to this message | Report message

Next time you see her, show genuine concern for her health and well-being by asking how she feels after her low speed collision. Reply to this message | Report message

Maybe that's why it's cheap. Or do you have to row? I admit I'm not up with holiday prices, but it's a long way IIRC. Reply to this message | Report message

Well, I'm amazed. I really can't believe that a bunch of tough rufty tufty blokes who never miss a chance to fall out with their own shadow are advocating anonymity. What's wrong with putting your big boys trousers on and just saying it as it is? Think you all need to man up a bit. Pat Reply to this message | Report message

Blimey! .. I only mentioned Mauritius because a delivery driver had recently returned from said island and looked very well (at the moment) I was a'thinking that I'd like to go there for a week or two, so looked up the prices on Thomas Cook. Interesting island (I like islands) Formerly a Dutchie colony, a French colony, and a British colonial possession 'til 1968. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauritius Reply to this message | Report message
