That's me paying to fix it then
Couple of days ago two guys with Irish accents in a flat bed Transit reversed into my
Mk1 MR2 putting a smallish but very annoying dent in the rear wing.
Driver says he has no insurance details with him so gives a name and address.
The reg turns out to be from a blue Tranny van not a whitepick up and the name/address
doesn't exist.
I'm guessing the real address is a caravan surrounded my several cloned trucks and
stolen goods.
Or am I being unreasonable ?
Edit to add:
No offence intended to our many genuine Irish members. I may well be wrong.

Well, other than risking kneecapping, I don't see a problem.
I would be tempted to just fix it yourself and leave criminals alone. Obviously their story didn't add up. Evil people can cause big problems
when confronted. Call the constabulary if you are concerned. Maybe there's a reward for finding them???

Give your insurers the details you've got, and let them sort it. Once they work out they're dodgy, get them to claim the repair off the
MIB instead, they pay out for un-insured drivers.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Aliens with an Irish accent and a space ship cunningly disguised as an old transit, probably a hologram of some sort, you were lucky they might have
just Zapped you to stop you giving them away.
It’s the travellers no doubt, we had them round not that long ago, I was speaking to them about my dogs they also had Irish accents. I doubt they even
had insurance at all or MOTs, they are above the law.

I used to live very close to a travellers camp and was once outside on a ladder painting the front of my house when a traveller pulled up and had the
following conversation with me.
Traveller - 'scuse me pal, you want me to paint yer house for yer.
Me - Err, no thanks mate I'm kind of already doing it.
Traveller - why not, we'll do a right nice job.
Me - erm, because I'm doing it right now as we speak, look this is the roller.
Traveller - oh right, well do you want to come and paint me van, theres a good drink it in for yers.
Me - err, no thanks!!!!!!
Most bizarre conversation I ever had, he went from wanting to do a job for me that I was already doing, to then want me to do that very same job for
him - what a strange breed!!!!!!
On the basis of a number of other very unpleasant encounters I moved and would say stay well away.
