Friend at work sent me this which happened in Norwich this week:


Was at the rugby club with the boys on Sunday morning. Car park was chocca, because there was a visiting team, so I double-parked along with lots of others. I boxed a Toyota HiLux in (one of those things that Top Gear couldn't destroy). I took the boys onto the pitch and soon saw that they opened the on-grass parking. So returned to the car to move it, but it was too late. I had only been gone 15mins.

The HiLux owner had come out of the adjoining Gym gone into the Rugby Club to try to find me or the other car owner who also had him boxed in, but couldn't.

He then rammed my car several times until he got out. Luckily, it was witnessed by others. The police refused to come out thinking it had been a minor wing-mirror scuff, until I turned up at the station with the photos.

I also had his reg no, name and address. So they made a visit and arrested him for criminal damage. Remanded to appear in court in mid-Jan.

Now tooling around in a brand new Galaxy courtesy of his insurance (hopefully).

Everyone was gob-smacked that somebody could lose their rag that quickly to do that.

Car was written off last week, and I'll be getting £500 more than I paid for it in Feb!!! Yey! Good times!

I was speaking to a chap at work tonight who teaches the mini rubgy at the club.

Apparently the chap with the Hilux is a know nutcase whos on steriods and the like. He is also wanting to move to New Zeland and apparently has offered to buy a new mpv rather than be charged. As once convicted he has no chance of emigrating.
