Not having any luck with this car...
Came back from Stansted airport to find someone had driven into my car at the Short Term Green Car Park - no note, nothing, filled the Police form out as any CCTV has to be requested by them, if there is any at all - so until that comes to light I have to claim off my own insurance for the repair.
So, less than 12 months in, I have had two people drive into the car, a dithering old fool reversed into me while I was waiting at the lights, and now this...

Really feel for you. I'd have been absolutely gutted and livid!
 I've had similar anonymous car park scrapes in the past. These days I park in the emptiest, furthest away spaces and reverse in (so that my dashcam captures any frontal movement).

Insurance claim in motion, lets hope its a swift resolve. I think I am going to have to start parking like an idiot across two bays in order to avoid damage in future

That's crap Lee. Sorry to hear this.
I think I'll also order one having done some reading. The DX20 looks good at £120 from Amazon.

I'm sorry to see this, it's bad enough when you can easily find the person responsible. I bet whoever did it was so oblivious to everything around them that they didn't even realise they had hit your car.
