It may surprise those of you who know me, but I am scrupulous about leaving my details when I ding another car. I say 'when' because it happens with depressing regularity - I've popped a headlamp because some tw%t boxed me in - and left my number. I've demolished a van's wing mirror, 'cos the id!ot was double parked - and left my number. Accidents all. Can someone explain to me, therefore, when I've built up all this good karma by taking sole responsibility for putting right the damage (albeit minor) that I've caused, that when something happens to MY car (like, for example, in the work car park receiving a long stripe down the side where somebody's bumper has merrily scraped along because the driver, for some reason, never learned the approximate dimensions of their own vehicle) there's no corresponding note? HMMMMM? I'll pause, now, for McGrath to shout at me for being racist, or a vandal, or something.
