| Mark, I suppose the debris has been cleared away by now, but if the broken glass etc is still accessible, see if you can find a largish piece of indicator lens with the part number on it.Somewhere like Halfords will have a catalogue of all the part numbers and maybe able to tell you which cars have these indicators.Same goes for any other parts that have numbers on them.Unfortunately, the police just don't have the manpower to deal with this sort of incident.They know there is no real prospect of making an arrest, and they don't have time to collect broken parts and trawl through parts catalogues trying to find a match.It might be worth popping into your nearest petrol station and ask them if they would check their cctv.You know roughly what time the collision happened so there is a possibility they pulled onto the forecourt to check the state of their vehicle in the light on the forecourt.Try the nearest garage to you in all directions.Also, it might be worth calling into local bodyshops to ask if anyone has called in asking for an estimate for bodywork.They won't be able to put it through the insurance, so they will be looking for an estimate for a cash job.It might just be worth saying for the benefit of others, police will not, as a rule, attend straight forward damage only accidents.If somebody has been injured or there are allegations made, then they will, if they have someone available. Also, if you are unlucky enough to have your car stolen, they will ask you to go into the police station to report it.They will not send anyone to you.They will take a report over the phone so that it can be circulated to patrolling police cars, but you will have to take your documents tothe police station for them to update the police national computer. |
