I only put a thread up a few days ago about polishing the car up to make it a bit 'prettier' as its a bit of an ugly betty at the mo with plenty of minor scuffs and damage caused by idiots in car parks.....
The latest (and last straw) being tonight, left the car at home today and got a lift to work to save some fuel, my car was parked half on the pavement (common round here) in our little cul de sac outside my house, plenty of room for people to get in and out of their houses, the woman who lives opposite, and up a door, has aparently driven into her driveway and pranged my rear bumper. (dozy sod didn't use steering wheel enough) Its mainly just paint damage but still annoying.
I didn't notice it till i came back from driving up to help a mate install his new tv and as soon as i told the g/f, she said the next door neighbour to us said she saw the woman do it.
Now you'd think that'd be easy but.....
This woman has at least one of her adult sons living at the house overnight every night, one of which pranged the g/f's alfa spider a few years ago, she and her son swore blind then that he didn't do it until presented with undeniable evidence and a policeman at their door. They stumped up a £400 cheque very reluctantly.
How can i approach this woman with the intention of getting her to pay for at least half of the bumper respray??, tact aint my strong point and she's not posted anything through our door tonight about it, can see this getting awkward again.
I'll have to go see her on friday as i'm working and out tomorrow till late.
