My Wife left the car parked in quite side road today only to come back and find this when she returned

Got to be some in a Lorry of some sort

Happened to me with my Leon. Parked nose in to the kerb outside our house - we were out in the FL2 - and some utter scummy dirtbag had smashed the rear NS door beyond repair. Given the height of the main crease we think it was likely a council van who were working nearby and used our spaces to turn round.

Feel for you matey. The little sh*t that did it should be skinned alive, rolled in salt and then burnt.

Thanks for the kind words. The Wife is really upset, this is the first car in a long time that she really loves. She's even given it a name "Gilbert" Been in touch with Local LR dealer and sent photos for a estimate. May be better to pay for it ourselves than put through the insurance  2007 TD4 XS The work horse that earns its up keep

Sorry to see this. I had a hole ripped through the driver's door on previous car. A ute with a table top backed up the street but obviously could not drive straight! They had driven off. That evening I walked around all the local streets will tape measure & camera on the very remote chance I could find the vehicle. I was very lucky & found it with my paint on the back corner of their car. Fortunately they were too stupid to remove the evidence!

It was all fixed up eventually. But they said they had no idea that they had hit anything...... BS! I was still without a car for 2 weeks as the smash repairers tried a lot of doors as they were not lining up properly. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

.....Then hung, drawn & quartered. Obviously like they did in the past while still alive. They were only partially hung so they were still alive but crippled. Then their guts were cut out & burnt on a fire in front of them. Four draft horses ripped them apart to eventually finish off the job!

Indeed castration often formed part of the fun in the medieval punishment. Castrate first to mock their manhood, then wind out the intestines and burn. The latter is particularly effective as it's saying "look mate, even if you don't die from the other things we do to you, there's no going back now - you're already dead but we'll string it out as long as we can" (as it were). Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

For full details, see the execution of William Wallace: http://www.baronage.co.uk/bphtm-01/wallace3.html

In the words of Chief Justice Lord Ellenborough, "You are to be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, where you are to be hanged, but not till you are dead; for while still living, your body is to be taken down, your bowels torn out and burnt before your face; your head is then cut off, and your body divided into four quarters." (His descendant, the late Lord Ellenborough was a friend of mine and a nice bloke - I don't think he ever did that sort of thing).
In earlier times the explicit words "your privy parts cut away and burnt before your eyes" were spoken, one priest in Tudor times being recorded as observing that as they had not been of much use to him on earth, they were unlikely to be of much use to him in heaven.

Suggest that any such meting out of justice to these people be advertised in the "events" section of the forum. There could be a barbecue... Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

That would be my guess as well, a truck would have probably coursed more damage.
Doesn't help you who did though unless you can catch them.
Have a look for a local dent removal firm, neighbour used one who did great job, came to his house and put a tent like thing around it as it was raining. Common sense isn't very common.

The main dealer would be farming the repair out to a local chip and dent man, pay his fee and then taking a healthy profit off the job for themselves. You get the same job done at a sensible price by cutting out the middleman.

We have such a chip and dent man neighbour (handy) and most of his work is from dealers and used car lots.
