Angry Oh FFS! I just got it fixed.

For those who read my posts, they will know in October I bent my new Falcon because African youths were carelessly meandering across a road like they were on the African Savannah.

Just got it fixed a few weeks ago. This afternoon I was helping a friend who is building his house. Car is parked outside from 2pm to 6:30pm. Go to leave only to discover the driver's side mirror is smashed and hanging on by the cables. Nobody around, no witnesses and no messages left on the car.

Went home to check the dash camera footage. Sure enough about 4:30pm the incident was clearly captured. The driver of the other car slowed but did not stop. A copy of the video was supplied to the Police who will issue a 'hit and run' report so the other motorist will be in for a shock very soon.

Motto of the story: if don't have a dash camera I strongly recommend you get one.
Another word of advice: do something and think nobody saw you? Think again.
